Drudge and a caller are teeing off on Ahnuld.
I am listening to the radio show because someone mentioned some breaking news regarding the US, Iraq and Putin. He is on with some guy who knows dirt on Ahnuld. They are just letting it fly. Drudge says it wouldn't be right of him to ignore the charges. He would lose credibility for going after Clinton. Listen of you want at www.wabcradio.com

1. Interesting
That explains Drudge being so hard on Arnie. I hadn't quite figured that out. He's had anti-Arnold splashes every day - to my surprise.

15. Same with WLS...
it's http://www.wlsam.com

I figure if people have that set on their web radios it would be quicker access.

7. Drudge's Hero is Walter Winchell
Kind of a pseudo-populist muckraker. So this fits the profile.

9. This is Connally...Reported the Groping stuff in 2001
He reported Arnold was Gropping in 2001 in England while filming a movie.

10. Pinch Me...
...I'm saying "Go Drudge Go"...

:crazy:

But isn't this piling on now? Does it matter if what's said now, those who feel Ahnold's being a victim are only going to feel this vindicates their conveluted position.

12. They're going through the Love Child Stuff
I dunno folks...you'd think something this high profile, while kept hush-hush from us "little people", it'd be all over Hollywood and outted within hours of the Gropinator being on Leno. At least if I'm gonna drop the bomb, in retrospect, that would have done the job.

23. It was all over Hollywood... but in Hollywood, it's normal
It's pretty much a "use and be used" town. It doesn't really make headlines because the stars don't intend to attempt to be "leaders." Look at how quick the LA Times was able to put the stories together in a "libel-proof" form for publication. It was only a few weeks. Not much time at all as these types of investigations go.

17. Honestly, What's Drudge have against Arnold or the California GOOP?
He was on Ahnold like white on rice from the outset? Is he an operative for McClintock?

He hasn't gone after anyone this hard since Clinton. Not even Condit. Any thoughts?

19. There must be more dirt
on Arnold... i.e. something that is not only bad, but will make his neocon handlers embarrassed once he takes office... somebody at the top does NOT want him to win now...

21. Nope...
Drudge has made a huge discovery. He must attack everyone who is vulnerable, in order to keep the cash-flow going. He cannot afford to let any opening to scandel go unexplored or unexploited. As long as he keeps his hit numbers high, he can get sponsors.... He is turning into an honest Journalist in spite of himself....he will attack whoever is in power, he has to...or his ratings fall... which brings down his revenue stream... we might call this the Rehabilition of Matt Drudge.

18. This is depressing - such denial by the callers
don't believe the charges because "no one would act that way".

Hope that the calls more represent the rw nature of the general listeners for this station than for the public sentiment.

20. Welcome To Hate Radio
This is my fun listening to Sludge right now...usually I can't stomache the slug...but tonight's he's fighting trying to eat one of his own. It's like watching a scorpion and cobra. Maybe this should be on Animal Planet

22. Will Drudge Mention Enron
Doesn't this thing end in 30 minutes?

Don't mind me, I'm ignoring all the All Cubbies on all the Chicago TV stations right now :hurts:

'Tain't easy being a White Sox fan right now :argh:
