    I'm sorry, I didn't realize we were supposed to be taking Kucinich seriously.

    In other news, David Wu says that the administration is full of fake Klingons. Where, oh where is the Klingon outrage?

    [edit]

    Fact-check for DA:

    Not backed up by any numbers I can find:

    Cable news outlets saw prime-time audiences dwindle in 2006, with the leader in the space, Fox News Channel, dropping 26 percent in the core 25-54 demo. CNN fell 17 percent in the demo, while CNN Headline News was down 5 percent in total viewers and 4 percent in the demo.

    CNBC was the only cable news net that saw significant growth in 2006, upping its prime-time audience by 32 percent and boosting its core demo more than 15 percent. MSNBC grew slightly, upping its total prime-time audience by 5 percent and its 25-54 number by 7 percent.

    In fact, you can take the ratings for all three cable news networks and they still wouldn't add up to the viewership for a single network channel's nightly news. So direct your wrath at ABC, CBS and NBC, por favor.
