Anderson’s numbers are terrible! Even Grace’s live show beat him in both the demo and total viewers. Even when he does a good show no one is watching any longer. I think his Obama fixation has hurt him, not to mention that “tea bagging” comment. Maybe the photo of him working out at the gym on TMZ will help.

Congratulations to Shep, his numbers are great and he was #31 on “Ask Men’s” list of the 49 most influential men of 2009! After viewing the list I think he should have placed a lot higher, but Anderson didn’t even make the list. However, Michael Jackson did and he is dead!

Obama’s National Security Chief Of Staff Goes ‘Nucular’

4:57 pm, Tuesday

video

After years of the cringe-worthy pronunciation of nu-cu-lar during the Bush White House, it seemed like we finally had an administration who had a litmus test in staffing their National Security detail - pronounce the word "nuclear." Not so. During an interview to discuss Iran's weapons program with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today, National Security Chief of Staff Denis McDonough definitely uttered the term Nucular. Gotcha! Right-wing critics eager for payback? Go! Video after the jump.
