THE DRUDGE DODGE...OR, HOW TO AVOID THE OBVIOUS...

From May 2, 2010





Anyway you parse it, you can tell that the GOP didn't have a good day yesterday.  The evidence was right there this morning if you looked at Matt Drudge's page.  Instead of crowing his little head off, the neo-con cheerleader and Murdoch toady's page features groundbreaking coverage of an Administration plot to stifle free speech by silence the tweets of the White House chef...GASP!

And the other important 'above the fold' breaking news included;  "(the) Race to 'downplay glamor (misspelled) of state dinner'..."  How could they?  And, "BAN LIFTED: Will allow one reporter to see dinner set up in East Room 'for few minutes'..."  I love the capitalization callout of "BAN LIFTED," as if there was some secret agenda to keep the flower arrangements a secret.

There was also an insightful ditty that Drudge re-titled; "'Green ceviche with cucumber... Mole has 28 ingredients in it'. "  NO!  Not 28 ingredients!  Holy smokes.  Did you know that Che Guevara was born in 1928??  Coincidence?  I think not.

Now the Democratic establishment may not have done very well, but you can bet that had the Republicans won in the only actual election yesterday - the one they repeatedly referred to as a 'bellwether,' the 12th congressional district in Pennsylvania -  that Drudge would have proclaimed  it a referendum on Obama and the Democrats, complete with his signature bold, red type and sirens.  But since a Democrat won John Murtha's old seat, the report was buried below a story about the scandalous 'lesbian' song that Ellen Degeneres picked for an American Idol contestant to sing.
