The Dreaded Drudge

As of 7:52pm Eastern Standard Time, the Drudge Report currently has links on the site with headlines reading as follows:

a. "Hillary was in the White House on 'Stained Blue Dress Day'"

b. "**VIDEO** ANTI-OBAMA PASTOR UNLEASHED: 'HE WAS BORN TRASH'... 'LONG-LEGGED FREAK'... 'EMISSARY OF THE DEVIL'"

c. "Lewinsky and the First Lady..."

d. "CHENEY: Iran May Have Resumed Weapon Program..."

That is a sampling of the fare to come as this race for the Democratic nomination winds down. Meanwhile, on the same site, Drudge has a stoic-like picture of McCain seemingly walking around Iraq just past the helicopter that just dropped him off, with an obvious sign of bodyguards, but no body armour...with the headline reading: "POLL: MCCAIN TAKES LEAD AS DEMS FEUD..."

Obama, you can bitch, you can whine all you want about the decency of this bloodsport we affectionately call Presidential Politics. You whine about the Big Hill being unfair, and on, and on.

But, hear me now Mister Obama. You better sack up! You think Hill and the Clinton Clan are tough, they are peanuts compared to the right-wing machine courtesy of Drudge and his "sources." Those headlines are puff-piece headlines for Drudge. So, you need to grow a pair of brass balls, or get out now.

With McCain taking an extended campaign cash vacation, the media has nothing better to do than to beat up on the people running for the parties nomination they virtually all will vote for. It's a sick fetish of the media's, but it exists. That said, it sounds like you made a gutsy speech yesterday on race. I love the high debate, I'm just not sure the basic American voter mind thinks that high and it much more self-absorbed in terms of "What's in it for me?"

Still, beware the Drudge, evermore.
