Where Else?

This from Drudge:

The political director of ABCNEWS and the national politics editor of the WASHINGTON POST make it official in their new insider tome on DC politics and how it's played: The four words in every newsroom and campaign headquarters are: Have you seen DRUDGE?

In an extended 15-page homage to the glories of this site, they report: "Matt Drudge is the gatekeeper... he is the Walter Cronkite of his era."

"In the fragmented, remote-control, click-on-this, did you hear? political media world in which we live, revered Uncle Walter has been replaced by odd nephew Matt."

I don't know how long I've been following Drudge, I would guess it's been close to five years or so, but I'm glad to see that he's finally getting some mainstream props for all the good work he does. Accountable only to himself, Drudge is able to go after people and entities no one else will touch.

If you don't read Drudge, try to make it a habit to stop by at least on occasion. It's well worth it.
