Cathy Seipp made an "offhand crack" about Howard Stern during a recent appearance on the Dennis Miller show, and the King of All Media teed off on her yesterday.

She says:

I pointed out that Howard Stern's most devoted listeners aren't all that likely to get to the polls lately. I mean, how many members of his core young male demographic even get off the couch?

Stern, who for some reason thought I was a comedian, said he didn't see anyone getting off the couch for my show.

More than half the country doesn't vote, which means she probably had better than a 50-50 chance of being right on the voting remark - even if it was a throwaway comment.

Anyway, Drudge is reporting that Howard's ratings are way up in New York - but so are President Bush's poll numbers nationally.
