HOLY CRAP!

Countdown to GP Crush of the Week.

Wow. Keith Olbermann.

I am actually speechless. In a campaign where no one was willing to talk at length about Prop 8 or gay marriage, this guy uses his platform for six minutes (no small temporal chunk o' change) to speak out.

Watch on. And send this dude a letter (or comment on his blog), because, god knows he's getting it from the other side… and not in the good way.

Totally GP Crush of the Week.
