Sludge backpedaling

[the Kelly Gang]

this man has no shame..now he's toned down his 'forgery' stories and pasted a link to another item that blames the spread of this phony 'forgery' scam on bloggers..puts the story out there ..fans the fires..then when it comes crashing down shifts the blame.

I know ,I know I shouldn't be reading the slime ball.

1. I go there too.

And each time I do it I kick myself for adding to his daily hits.

8. Here's another way

If you use a RSS reader, load this into your RSS feeds:

http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/rss/recap.xml

Has much of the stuff linked to Drudge, and doesn't bring on tons of pop-ups.

2. You say that, but you've probably bookmarked him.

There's no shame. Often enough for me, some of the latest-breaking stuff can be found there. Besides, I don't get fox news here, so if I'm feeling like seeing a bushkissing take on things, that's where I go.

I assuage (I know how to spell it, but don't know how to say it) my guilt by responding to headlines in his "scoop" box.

Stupid website refreshes too often, though, so put it in there quickly.

3. That's two backpedals we've seen, at least...

I think I saw CNN backpedaling just a little while ago...

4. Stop doing that!

If anything that he has to say is legit, it's reported soon enough elsewhere (usually here among other places). If it's not, he's laughing all the way to the bank and you go back for more, saying, "I shouldn't be reading the slime ball." Don't give him the hits! It's the only thing that keeps him alive.

5. Maybe every time we give him a hit we should send

$20 to the Kerry campaign.

6. Yeah, but every now and then you get a link you wouldn't find elsewhere.

Like this one, just now.

7. Drudge picked the wrong fight

60 minutes has been on 30+ years. I don't believe they've ever retracted a story. Their crediblity is miles above Drudge's.

10. becuase there are facts

9. Betcha watch porn sometimes, too!

I'm so looking forward to after Kerry is elected and we can start to repair a few things. One of those things, IMO, is to raise the standard for libel/slander, since dipshits like Drudge can never seem to understand you can't unslime someone, once you've piled on.
