Not defending Keith, even though he is my future husband <gg>, but he 
can't drive due to his vision problems.  To this day, he can't 
drive.  He may have thought the arrangements were gonna be made for 
him and then it turned out things got more complicated than he 
expected.  By his own admission, he was a lot harder to get along 
with back then.  He's sort of mellowed with age, plus getting good 
ratings and lots of positive press for Countdown" has helped.  But 
MSNBC makes sure he has a way to get to his gigs or he can't go.
