Don Surber on the ratings boost Oprah got from the Palin interview.

No. 1 best seller.

Goosing Oprah’s ratings.

Let’s see Joe Biden top that.

Um, okay.

The whole number of the electors appointed to vote for Vice President of the United States is 538, of which a majority is 270.

Joe Biden of the State of Delaware has received for Vice President of the United States 365 votes.

    Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

    Its utter hilarity that he even fixed his mouth fingers to say write something so absurd. This is one of those instances where false equivalences need not apply. Hilarious I tell you…

    Don also forgot to factor in all the viewers in Maryland’s 38th Congressional District.

    Does this mean we’re afraid of her? I think it does.

    Mambo, Joe’s stimulus responsibilities are just as relevant to Palin’s Oprah rating as an electoral College recap. You can’t complain about “look over there” when that’s the ENTIRE POINT of our host’s post

    You have a good point, Farris. Although I do think that winning the Vice-Presidency does “top” Sarah Palin’s effect on Oprah viewership, so I’m not sure it’s completely a “look over there” moment. But it’s certainly debatable.

    Don Absurder is comedy gold to me. Of course, I love it when there are Colbert-level con jobs, minus the self realisation, or intentional parody. Great stuff.
