3. Wow, drudge DOES know he exists.

6. heard matt on his radio show
no, i don't normally listen, but i was stuck in a terrible truck stop sunday.

in his irritating nasal voice, matt kept saying the story was no big deal and he wasn't going to "waste time" on it. "the guy only had a day pass!"

of course we know that's not exactly an accurate summary of gannon's press corp status

and let's look at some of the other things matt's not "wasted time" with
-claiming that clinton's cabinet included wifebeaters-still waiting for that retraction, matt
-kerry's "affiar"-ditto on this one
-acting like the future of the republic hangs on chris rock's stand-up routine
-janeane garaflo making fun of senators with their fingers dyed in ink during SOTU-he actually put the siren up for this one

there's so much more hard-hitting matt drudge journalism we could cite, but this is what come to mind immediately

10. You forgot "Found 'em"
Pictures of aluminum tubes, complete with siren :eyes:

Even his Monica "scoop" was a fraud, IIRC. Wasn't the story basically handed to him? No matter, that was some seven years ago, and those laurels smell mighty moldy, not to mention a lot like drudge's ass.

9. Who believes those numbers, compliments of the corporate media?
Edited on Fri Feb-25-05 08:39 PM by oasis
And my question for Drudge: Do you pitch used cars too?
