Forward into the past

Yes, Garrison Keillor is now fairly well-known for being liberal and anti-Bush, since he issues ever-more-pointed criticisms from his bully pulpit on A Prairie Home Companion, but that is supposedly not what has offended people now. Listeners in Kentucky to his other show, The Writer's Almanac, have complained they are offended by the use of the words "breast" and "get high" in some of the poems he reads on the show.

Ordinarily this would be a case of "some people need to get a life," but I have no trouble believing this was actually an orchestrated attack on Keillor's credibility in retribution for his anti-Bush stands.
