That's not a personal attack, just an observation that can be backed up with facts. But I think it's cute that you're trying to save face when you're clearly wrong - about your original comment, about your reply to elmonica, and about your reply to me.

I also loved how he refused to interview Andy Card, yet waited three days to call him a Nazi.

It seems that our "friends" over at TV Newser have a typo... as both sets of numbers they list are labeled "25-54 demographic: (L +SD)"... when I think only one should be. But more important than that... TV Newser's numbers and Spud's numbers don't match. Someone's wrong. Both are labeled as L+SD. If you match up the numbers, it appears that someone is off by an hour at some points. Either Olbermann got 572 (ICN)... or Hardball (TVN) did. Spud, a little help here... Okay, settle down.
