When Charles married Diana

Remember when Prince Charles married Diana Spencer in hopes of sprucing up his image, and all he got was a place in Diana's shadow? I wonder if John McCain is as pissed as Charles was... and with a big NFL game on tonight, who thinks McCain will getting ratings anywhere near as good as these:

Palin pulled

That's 55% higher than Day 3 of the DNC, when her Democratic
counterpart, Joe Biden, and President Clinton took the stage (24

It's also up a sharp 99% from the Republican convention's third day
in 2004 (18.7 million) and easily bests the numbers viewers attracted
by George W. Bush when he accepted the nomination (27.6 million). In
fact, it came close to upsetting Obama's historic address last
Thursday -- the most-watched convention speech in history (38.4 million viewers).
