1. I believe his claim to fame is
breaking something about Monica and Clinton

2. No, he doesn't do crack....
But he lives in the same area of Florida that Rush lives in and has the same dealer. But he's not as addicted as Rush...yet. (Developing) :)

4. I think he once bought a "Lil' Giant Cub Reporter's Kit"
He's basically playing dress-up. In fact, he still wears the hat.

9. Rove et al feed him stories that would look bad if they sent to..
the press directly. Thus, little boy dress-up gets to look like "a real reporter".

7. He's an Internet gossip-monger
He usually carries stories that trash Dems, but sometimes, as with Rush's drug addiction and Arnold's groping, he does go after Repukes.

8. He runs a news website, conservative leaning but sometimes fair
Mostly a compilation of conservative news stories, but sometimes he puts up some liberal stuff. Definitely not a site to be trusted.

13. Drudge doesn't get under my skin
He doesn't do commentary, rarely writes his own stories and isn't as predictable as most...actually covers a broad range of topics... I believe his claim to fame was an exclusive story on the Lewinsky tapes?
