63 Million People Watched McCain Say 'That One'
We had a hard time watching the whole thing, and this is ourjob. Did 63.2 million people -- 66 million if you count elitist PBS viewers -- really watch that dull sleepytime debate last night? That's what the ratings company claims. Even more people (70 million!) watched the Palin-Biden debate, because hey, that Tina Fey is quite the comedienne! Sadly for the networks, the desperate voters who watched last night's Obama-McCain show don't have any money to buy any consumer items, so there were no commercials to pay for the teevee rays which are beamed from space at great expense to every room in America.
