Rather in the Dock; McEnroe's Ratings in the Ditch

Good gossip today. Dan Rather's being grilled over his complicity in peddling forgeries to the American people, while John McEnroe is being paid one million dollars to host a show that, out of 834 cable shows, is coming in... 833rd.

The one show he's beating? The Food Network's How to Boil Water.

You think that's a joke. And yet, you'd be wrong.

Is there a point at which MSNBC becomes obligated to pay advertisers to allow their products to be associated with their basement shows. I guess that would define the awaited negative rating.

McEnroe's actually on CNBC.

MSNBC has the scary-funny Keith Olbermann on at that time.

How To Boil Water is so much better...

Ace--

Pardon me while I announce that I was the first person to call CNBC onto the carpet for hiring McEnroe instead of me.

God, I can't believe this guy is still on the air.

Cheers,
Dave

How is this guy any worse than Chris Mathews? And CNBC, MSNBC, it's all the same.

McEnroe is an excellent tennis announcer. So far it is the only thing at which he has shown any proficiency since he retired from professional tennis.
