This Week In Nielsen Ratings Imitating Life

Hysterical.

President Bush's guest appearance in support of an Iraq War veteran on Monday night's "Deal or No Deal" didn't bring much luck to the contestant -- or the show.

The NBC game show matched its lowest Monday rating ever despite the much-publicized visit by the commander-in-chief.

Bush is not just hated, but hated on a historical level, with the highest disapproval rating since the start of modern polling. He is destroying the GOP from within; look at the race down in Mississippi last night, where Democrats positioned themselves to take a seat that's R+10.

What's funny is that Bush said on this Deal or No Deal appearance that "I'm just happy to be on anything that's highly-rated."

Not anymore, dinkus.
