Will someone tell me who Matt Drudge is? |

Is he supposed to be some crack reporter?

2. No, he doesn't do crack.... |
|
But he lives in the same area of Florida that Rush lives in and has the same dealer. But he's not as addicted as Rush...yet. (Developing) :)

4. I think he once bought a "Lil' Giant Cub Reporter's Kit" |
|
He's basically playing dress-up. In fact, he still wears the hat.

9. Rove et al feed him stories that would look bad if they sent to.. |
|
the press directly. Thus, little boy dress-up gets to look like "a real reporter".

7. He's an Internet gossip-monger |
|
He usually carries stories that trash Dems, but sometimes, as with Rush's drug addiction and Arnold's groping, he does go after Repukes.

8. He runs a news website, conservative leaning but sometimes fair |
|
Mostly a compilation of conservative news stories, but sometimes he puts up some liberal stuff. Definitely not a site to be trusted.

13. Drudge doesn't get under my skin |
|
He doesn't do commentary, rarely writes his own stories and isn't as predictable as most...actually covers a broad range of topics...
I believe his claim to fame was an exclusive story on the Lewinsky tapes?
