I 'turned him on' to KO in early November. He has his TV set to AUTOMATICALLY switch to the show at the proper time ever since.

Now when he calls me, he says "Did you see Keith's Special Comments last night?!", or "I gotta go now, Keith is about to come on." or "Well, hopefully Keith is back from vacation!"

I sent him a link to Al Gore's 1/16/2006 speech a few months ago. (http://www.acslaw.org/node/2096 only the RealV works... Al starts 10 mins. in) I sorta doubted he'd watch it on the computer. He called me the next day, saying he'd watched the entire thing and said, "By his own words, he MUST run."

Guess who bought me a copy of The Assault On Reason at the bookstore on day one as a surprise. But he bought HIMSELF one first, I was an afterthought.

Guess who has read it all.

He watched Al's speech when I suggested it, because his favorite show is Keith Olbermann.

He does say that KO reminds him of Edward R. Murrow. He says it is a breath of fresh air to hear someone talk the truth.
