The Ed Show manages to bring in the best hour, but Anderson Cooper managed to win the day — a rare, but not unknown win for him. Dennis Rodman was the most popular topic on Cable News Twitter, while #OccupyHamburg is a very rare intrusion of foreign events into the US centric Cable News Twitter…
The Twitter buzz around the Melissa Harris-Perry show subsided on Sunday, as the uproar over the apology about comments on Mitt Romney’s Christmas card began to fade.

With the both the right wing and conventional blogosphere on the attack against Melissa Harris-Perry about last week’s commentary about Mitt Romney’s Christmas card, it’s no surprise that her show got the most mentions on Twitter during the show and during the day as a whole. Mentions during the show ran about 3 times normal, while mentions during the day as were about 5 times normal. So far, Sunday looks to be a bit slower as she rotates out of the news, but the buzz has continued pretty much unabated since she made those comments a week ago.
