    Illuminati, GG

    I was trying to make the same point Glenn just did in drawing a distinction of "trust" in the two different circumstances. I didn't want to inadvertantly dis Glenn, when dissing the silliness of NBC's trust (based strictly on charm and personability, apparently). Glenn doesn't get a pass of course--I don't believe anyone should--but he doesn't seem to ever need one either, which is the point to begin with.

    Anyway, didn't mean to make such a big deal about it in the first place.
