Matt PUDGE's "awful awful life" - talks only to LIMBOsevic, COULTERgeist, BREITBART
&, no, "PUDGE" has no weight connotations. How can something be coined that is worse than "DRUDGE"?

Matt Drudge Goes Into Hiding


By John Cook, 11:46 AM on Tue Apr 21 2009, 1,232 views

Days after Matt Drudge popped up to tell New York magazine about how he doesn't enjoy having sex with men, The New Republic looks into his descent into Howard Hughes-like isolation.

As Gabriel Sherman puts it, Drudge fears the media, which for some reason want to know things about the man who basically decides what will be on cable television every night. ....

...Now Drudge supposedly only talks to Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Andrew Breitbart, which is just an awful, awful life. ....

He moved out of his condo at the Miami Four Seasons, Sherman suggests, in part because a Los Angeles Times reporter tried to reach him there by asking a concierge to slip a note under his door. "Reporters' means have been questionable," a friend of Drudge's told him.

Of course, Drudge has always been a notorious recluse, and the same week that he emerged to give his first on-the-record quote to a reporter in perhaps years seems like a strange time to come forward with a story about how he doesn't talk to anybody anymore. (Though it's not unlikely that Drudge, knowing that Sherman was working on a story premised on his solitary life, decided to undermine it by offering a public quote.)

How Matt Drudge Helped Nudge a Friend Out of the Closet

.... Their chats could touch on intimate subjects:

For the most part, we didn't discuss a lot of personal stuff, but one time when we were talking about gay people, I told Matthew that I couldn't imagine kissing another guy. He looked me in the eyes and said, "Of course you can," recognizing something in me that I wasn't ready to acknowledge.

Drudge later wrote Seymour a handwritten, five-page note reading, "Whatever happened to us?" As it turned out, something was about to happen to him, and Seymour became part of a past that post-fame Drudge guards closely. Maybe that's out of awkwardness about his own sexuality, but maybe also because there are parts of even a gossip's life he holds close and dear.

2. Ask that idiot Lynn Samuels on Sirius "Left"
She seems to think that Matt Drudge is the pinnacle of fine reporting and journalistic integrity.

Worst excuse for a talk show on a supposedly "left" channel.
