I'm impressed with myself!

It' probably unfounded hubris on my part but the results are cool.

Yesterday Matt Drudge had a headline and link about Clinton's mystery bracelet. The link didn't mention it at all but the crochet bracelet was visable in a photo. I emailed drudge the following. No response to me from Drudge but this morning the headline is gone and I couldn't find it in his recent headlines. WOW!

Here's the email-with out changed to ought-Ah pride goest before the fall:

What are you trying to say. I read the following using the link on your page to the Guardian. Maybe you out(ought) to follow this link, but if you are pressed for time here's the answer to your "mystery."

Excerpt from Guardian (UK) interview with Bill Clinton

http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,1243547,00.html

We ask him about the red and blue crocheted band around his right wrist - an incongruous clash with the statesman attire. For the first time in the interview he becomes emotional, the voice catching and his eyes redening. "I've worn it for two years. I went there and met these unbelievable kids from a village on the edge of the rainforest where the narco-traffickers are dominant," he says. "They sang and danced for peace and I fell in love with these kids. I asked them to perform at the White House one Christmas. They came with the culture minister, a magnificently attractive woman called Consuelo. The bad guys hated these kids because they made them look like what they are. The guerillas couldn't kill these children, so they murdered her ... I can still hardly talk about this.

"Two years ago they asked me back and I said, 'I'll come, but you've got to bring those kids to see me.' So I turn up - and the children greeted me at the airport, along with the new culture minister - the niece of the murdered woman. And they gave me this bracelet, which I've never taken off."

4. I saw that picture

last night on drudge. I had e-mailed him too about the so called "mystery". No reply from him of course.

5. And if you look at Drudge now...

...the pic and the bracelet reference have been removed.

He was probably looking for a blow job tie-in. It actually showed him as a caring guy.

Unless it shows Clinton as a cruel, evil, dishonest man, it's not newsworthy for the Drudge Report.

6. I knew there was a reason he was my favorite President.

Almost makes me wish he could have run for a third term.
