BTW, on the earlier topic, here are Kurt's own words about Dick Button from when I interviewed him in 2006:
"Dick has made me really angry, many times in the past <laughs>. But I think that I was just overly sensitive and his sense of humor, I just didn't get it. And now, I kind of worship him a little bit. And I like getting in fights with him on the air, or disagreeing with him, all that stuff. I think it's great, and I think that we trust each other, actually. I would get mad at what he said on the couch, often. And now that I'm sitting beside him, I don't hear it that way. It's interesting. I think he's better. I think he's changed. I honestly do. And I think he's a little softer, a little gentler, and I think with me he's different."
He is different with Kurt - because Kurt doesn't back down. Perhaps that's what Button truly wants, someone with a backbone, who knows.
Of course, Kurt could also be saying all that because he didn't want to be fired from ABC... but then they dropped skating anyway so it didn't matter
