Asshat.
Yeah, we're talking Matt Drudge, the hat-wearing assbite of the Internet. As noted on Drudge's site, former White House advisor Sid Blumenthal has a book coming out detailing the Clinton years. Drudge's immediate take on the book is that it isn't being serialized anywhere (as if all books are) and that it " ranked #23,588 on AMAZON's hit parade Sunday night". Of course by the time I clicked on Amazon it was up to 146 Matt has a special reason for trashing the Blumenthal book before it hits the street...because he's in it and (like Matt) it isn't pretty.
For those who don't remember, la Drudge working in conjunction with notorious woman beater John Fund, completely concocted a story that Blumenthal beat his wife. Blumenthal proceeded to sue Drudge who ran safely into the hands of Manuel Klausner, an LA lawyer also associated with Richard Mellon Scaife. With the backing of the Scaife-funded Center for the Study of Popular Culture, Drudge was able to economically swamp Blumenthal, so that the case was dropped. Afterall, where else would Scaife get a wholly-owned rightwing megaphone like Drudge, who works for crumbs and stays bought?
Between now and when Blumenthal's book gets released, expect the usual suspects like Lloyd Grove, Howie Kurtz, and the gang over at Townhall to join Drudge is more smears, snide asides, and pre-emptive attacks on Blumenthal.
That's how the mighty wurlitzer works.
Oh. And go buy the book, just to flip the bastards off.
