Garrison Keillor - He doesn't want to kill Granny by limiting care, just all the Republicans.
if the country wouldn't be better off without them and if Republicans should be cut out of the health-care system entirely and simply provided with aspirin and hand sanitizer. Thirty-two percent of the population identifies with the GOP, and if we cut off health care to them, we could probably pay off the deficit in short order.
Garrison Keillor suggests a solution to the problem of having a population with differing opinions. A final solution? We could say something about his Nordic heritage leading him to such outlandish options, but that would be unkind.
Wonder why Republicans don't want to fund NPR? Because they say things like this, and then scramble backwards to say it was all a joke (at least I expect he'll scramble).

Having read the article, and as a liberal, I neither think he was joking, nor approve of what he said.
I have listened to Prairie Home Companion since I was young and will continue to do so, but it is articles like these and Michael Moore on one side, and Ann Coulter and a few Conservative Pundits on the other that drive me away from following politics. There are real disagreements and of course people are entitled to their opinions and so on, but none of it is productive and that is what drives me crazy.
