Keith is a hero.

13. He had 20,000 instant followers the first night he ever used Twitter.
That was in April. I can't imagine what that number is up to now.

25. Can't thank you enough, Keith.
You and others at MSNBC are lighting the way in the darkness.

Keep up the good work. (But please talk less about Fox News. Can't stand to hear them mentioned.)
