Slew
Hi guys, I was reading this about Charlie Sheen this morning:
"An arrogant and unapologetic Charlie Sheen continued his rants on the "Today" show this morning, delivering a of slew of one-liners aimed at CBS." What does "slew" mean here and part of speech would it be??

Just for the sake of my sleepy brain: Is there an extra "of" there?
Saw the sentence online and it kept both "of"'s, but shouldn't it be "...delivering a slew of one-liners..."
