Another reason to like David Shuster:

[rvablue]

He's drawing a lot of attention to Africa.

Last night he did a story on Zimbabwe and an opposition leader who has been jailed and left in a cell with a rotting corpse.

And tonight, he interviewed the guy who went to Sudan with George Clooney.

One can only hope that we as a country do more to help the poor citizens of these two regions.

Thanks, David! Keep it up!

2. The Guy Who went to Sudan with Clooney...

...is NYT columnist and human rights advocate Nicholas Kristoff, pretty famous in his own right to us NYTimes junkies!
I love your description, though. It shows how powerful celebrities can be in a good cause. (I love George Clooney, too.)

3. I didn't mean to be dismissive and I should have put a caveat

in my OP. I was listening from the other room, not watching.

Yes, famous indeed, I know his column well!! Just not his voice and didn't aurally catch that part!

Thanks for the added info!

5. I didn't mean to sound snitty...

I do a lot of "listening" to TV too. Kristoff and Clooney are both heroes of mine...and Schuster IS doing a good job, isn't he!

[rvablue]

6. You didn't Demoiselle, I thought I had....

so we're in agreement in all things!

Kristoff rocks!
