The State of the Union Ratings

President Bush pulled the second lowest TV ratings in 12 years for a State of the Union speech. Only Bill Clinton's last was lower -- and that was after a sex scandal and impeachment. The rest of President Clinton's SOTUSes topped President Bush's Wednesday. All told, 38 million people tuned in to see the President. He had a great lead in on Fox -- American Idol. But only 29% of its viewers -- around 7 million -- hung around to hear Mr Bush. (WashPost)
