Minnesota Public Radio’s Garrison Keillor may have Guy Noir, Private Eye,
but Planet Washington has “Bud Noir, Member of Congress.”
In a scene from Hexagon 2006 – “You Only Run Twice,” Ken Rynne, as Bud Noir, matches wits with a certain scribe from the New York Times (played by Christy Stouffer) and author of the recently released page-turner with the impertinent title “Are Men Necessary?” The scene was written by Planet Washington’s Ken Rynne who originated the Bud Noir role in 2006 – an “homage” to Garrison Keillor (the French do have a way of making “rip off” sound so, chic).
