President Elect and his first lady gave 60 Minutes its highest

[malaise]

ratings since 1999. Damn!!! GObama.
NEW YORK — The campaign is over, but Barack Obama is still a TV hit.

CBS' "60 Minutes" had its highest overnight ratings in nearly a decade with Sunday's episode featuring Steve Kroft interviewing the president-elect and future first lady. Nielsen Media Research's preliminary estimate the show was seen by 24.5 million people on Sunday.

That's more than any other episode of a prime-time show seen this season, and the biggest audience for "60 Minutes" since January 1999.

The comment that it was helped by following football makes no sense since 60 minutes always follows football at this time of year.
