Drudge admits to being a gossip columnnist, and has stated maybe 10% of
his exclusives are true.
But he also will not stop reporting his exclusives, no matter now
dubious the source. If any besides Drudge's own imagination.

Media Matters backs with other sources including Politico, their
reporting.
They also back with video and/or audio clips if available, what the
right-wing and the news media report.
And the article I posted is no exception.
Drudge's rumor about Baucus being drunk is still, *JUST* Drudge's rumor.

And I didn't make up the "Sludge Misreport" moniker.
It's been knocking around legit news sources ever since Drudge first
compared himself to Walter Winchell, more than a decade ago.

Just for the hell of it, I went back and watched the video in question.
I really couldn't state Baucus was drunk, or not.
I say that Stan is a drunk because he acts like the nasty drunk of an
uncle I used to have. (He drank himself to death.)

YET... I've known people who talk like Baucus all the time, it's just
the way they talk. No drunkeness involved.

Once again, you let *YOUR* boy (in this case Drudge) off the hook,
attack a source that is backed up (unlike Drudge,) and attack me.

You are so predictable. That's how I made so much money betting on you
and your cronies.
