Drudge vs. Huffington

The Observer has learned that Warren Beatty, the 68-year-old actor and director, will likely join a lineup of liberal all-stars who will "group blog" on a Web site to be launched next month by columnist Arianna Huffington. "I probably will," Mr. Beatty said, on the phone from his production office in Los Angeles.

The "Huffington Report," as Ms. Huffington has dubbed it, will also feature such boldface bloggers as Senator Jon Corzine, David Geffen, Viacom co-chief Tom Freston, Barry Diller, Tina Brown and Gwyneth Paltrow. If the name seems to echo that of the Drudge Report—the mega-site operated by the rightward-tilting unofficial editorial director of America’s news cycle, Matt Drudge—well, it’s supposed to. And Mr. Beatty approved of that.

For his part, Mr. Drudge was deeply skeptical of a Web site operated by Hollywood liberals. And he rebuffed Mr. Beatty’s characterization of his site as slanted toward Republicans. "I still refuse to be put into the category of feeding completely Republican talking points," Mr. Drudge said. "That’s ridiculous. If they’re accusing me of doing Republican, we can assume all Warren Beatty is going to do is be putting out Democratic talking points."

"I look forward to the Warren Beatty News Network," Mr. Drudge cracked, before asking: "So they really are serious about this, aren’t they?"

2. Who bothers with that self loather anymore?

It's been years since he stole Isikof's notes about Monica. His web page is primitive, it sucks, it consists mostly of links from Asian and European publications that put the wire service shit up a half hour ahead of the western hemisphere, and there's NO NEWS.

He makes his living copying and stealing....and he's a "force?" I understand he is on the radio, but I do not know a single soul who has ever heard his program.

Egg Boy...a loser. He needs to find the shark and start jumping.

3. He isn't exactly bi-partisan, he is pro-Repub and anti-Dem.

News that embarasses Republicans always appears verrrry late, if ever. He is on a tight leash. He owes his existance to Repubs.
