Graham invited to appear on the Prairie Home Companion "Rhubarb Tour"
Graham's 'Wobegon' workday

Sunday's show, part of the program's traveling ''Rhubarb Tour,'' will be useful for Graham's presidential campaign: It takes place in Gilford, N.H., the state that is home to the first-in-the-nation presidential primary in January.

Graham will appear as part of his patented ''workday'' gimmick, possibly as a character in the regular Guy Noir, Private Eye sketch. He said he has known Keillor for years, ever since the NPR star began going to Washington to lobby for public radio.

Now there is a perfect pair. Wit, wisdom, America.

1. That's great...
...I enjoy Prarie Home Companion and I am pleased to see Graham taking part. He seems like a very likable, knowledgable fellow and adds greatly to the dialogue.

4. Thanks
I'll be listening.

Graham has the remarkable ability to make fun of himself. It should be fun.

6. It's on tour, not broadcast :(
It's a live performance in New Hampshire on the Rhubarb Tour. If you are close enough to attend, you can get tickets here

The Graham webmaster is going to try to make sure there is an mp3 of it for the blog.
