The imagery isn't lost on Matt Drudge. He's a just a plain old pig---no matter how many times Mark Halperin praises him. Take a guess at how he'll frame Obama next. Might it include a hood of some kind? (h/t Chris)

Color me naive; but why the hell the picture focused on her hand?
Drudge is desperate for attention, now that he's not the only blogger.
I don't get it. What are we supposed to see in this?
any chance we here at C&L can stop doing the same? That is, posting pictures of people we dislike in unflattering poses? Just look at the pictures of McCain, et. al...
cuts both ways...can't criticize others when you do the same...
kiva
Apparently I'm stupid and I'm not seeing whatever you're seeing.
i see it - you have to think a little
Dirty, typical Drudge.
Matt Drudge is a pig . . . Republicans aren't human. Isn't this so VERY old news?
And for those that are asking, the nature of the picture is the phallic nature of the mic and the way she is holding her hand as thought it is wrapped around the mic.
I don't get it either. I went to Drudge's site and all I found was yet another pic of Hillary in front of her supporters who were carrying signs. Where was this page taken from?
Whatever. That's juvenile but sometimes juvenile is where the funny lives.
I just wish Republicans would exhibit the same kind of subversive sense of humor when talking about their Personal God and Savior, George W. Bush.
in other words "she's just jerking us around"
get it?
Come on...don't blame Drudge...you guys have a dirty mind...I've been staring at this thing for ever and what you are apparently upset about never came to my mind...I wonder!
Yeah, it took me a while to figure it out. But once you see it ... that's some imagery!
Lol. . .before reading the comments, I thought he was taking a dig at her marriage or something (since her ring is in the forefront). . .I see why its so bad now. . .
A good idea is worth inifinitely more than any number of bad ideas.
got to admit: this is rather funny when you think about it! :)
SK @ 14:
I was thinking the same. I go to that site daily (as well as many others including this one) to read the same stories, just in different versions. I don't recall ever seeing this page though. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
with this and all the other things,like Culolter and Limpbaughlls.This is all just a ruse to divide the Dem party.They would like nothing more than for Dems to be so pissed off at either candidate,that they just stay home on election day.The repugs will do Anything to keep in power.With the vote totals that came in from Super Tuesday ,their running scared now. 8 mill R's and 15 mill Dems.
yeah,you bet yer ass their scared.So expect more and worse from here on out.
Tequila @ 2:
He is not a blogger, just a basic news aggregator and a bad one at that.
Scy @ 8:
You've got it. Their minds are in the gutter. You can find similar references on cigarette packs etc. The photographer probably waited a long time to catch that image.
Wedding ring. Her campaign is strong just like her marriage. Is that it?
John you dirty dirty man... When do we get married?
Speaking of tools Bernie Goldberg is on a 3 min run slamming NBC and KO without mentioning his name,
LOL
The guy makes a small fortune cutting and pasting news story's onto his page that advance the con agenda.
A complete sell out.
The party of former grade school bullies.
Whip it!
That picture would've been perfect ... for Larry Craig!
Cat Atomic @ 26:
Drudge is rarely seen in public. Which tells me he's more like a total WIMP.
I think if you click on the links and read the story, maybe you can figure it out. Come on, you have to be smarter than a republican.
Insinuated or not, I don't ever want to imagine that again!
The ran the wrong headline, this picture was supposed to run with the story titled "Hillary says she knows how to handle Bill"
This subliminal stuff is ubiquitous. On "Larry King Live" last week (Bill Maher was the guest) they had an e-mail question for Maher. It had "Republican" and "Democratic" candidate in the question.
I'll leave it to you to guess which was capitalized (thus emoting strength) and which was lower case.
It's not like they scanned the e-mail and showed it to viewers - someone typed that out and I daresay intentionally. Sad.
A lot of lefty blogs look to MSM for topics of discussion.
Much better, in my opinion, to look inward.
Drudge is a nancy-boy, is he not? One can only imagine what photo he'll eventually post of obama.
Title should read:
"Drudge's Imagined Phallicy?
C'mon -- Bill had his Monica; Hillary is entitled to her Mic.
Drudge is fantasizing again.
Dodd is giving a great speech on C-Span 2 on FISA.
Lets see, we have Barrack OKennedy, a Clinton and McBushie.
Change?
Where?
Does the mic represent a penis and she is jerking it off?
If she had done this when he was president, we wouldn't have had a Constitutional crisis.
That's Drudge? Looks more like something Huff Post might put up.
How about just ignoring drudge?
I've been drudge-free for over a year now and it saves me from reading tons of non-stories and distractions.
Erase him from your bookmarks today.
John was right about what they will do with Obama ... see the Drudge site now. 8:00 pm central 2/11
Jeez John! Are you seeing penises everywhere? I saw here wedding ring. Get a grip
I don't read drudge and I don't like Hillary.
Drudge is just thinking about Obama's mic. Not there's anything wrong that.
My first instinct when I saw the picture was that it was somebody holding a water bong, until I read everyone else's interpretation.
Same kinda effect, I guess. Not flattering.
The republicans are messing their pants holding all the crap they have on obama back. They want him for the candidate so McCain will win...and they will start swift boating the little pouty boy wimp right away if they were not told to keep it in by their corporate masters....
Obama says he won't be swiftboated but if he had 1/1000 of the crap thrown at him Hillary has had, by the MSM, the republicans and his supporters he would be sitting in one of cheney's undisclosed locations crying his eyes out.
fellow dems, he slimes Hillary every single day and for the most part gives Obama a pass. Doesn't that make you just a little suspicious?
Well I failed that Rorschach test. All I saw was the ring and wondered WTF?
Now that read the header...
Well, I had to read about 10 comments before it dawned on me what the deal was with the picture.
Brian @ 39:
Yes
Hillary Insists Her Campaign Is Strong?
isnt she still leading? and even if she werent wouldnt she still be ridiculously close?
thats pic is pretty disgusting and tasteless...it is, on the other hand, pretty friggin funny and im sure you guys would post that pic over and over again if it were larry craig...which, quite frankly, would be even funnier
Just think, if she had done what Drudge is insinuating more often, Drudge would never have made it big. His blog would be as important to Rethuglicans as some 15 year old's Myspace posting if Monica hadn't gotten her dress stained.
Someone should photoshop a pen nib on the end of Drudge's dick and make that available as a non-royalty image.
She's choking the microphone's chicken. Right in front of her mouth. Get it now?
John, get a grip (sorry for that pun).
This picture is more a figment of conspiratorial imagination.
I do begin to wonder if some people look into every image to see if its an attack on Billary..
Here's a perspective to think about..Is drudge just pulling your chain (sorry for than pun also, neither was intentional), with an expectation you might over react?
one second she a lesbian next one shes jerking us off looks like something the huffington post would use to dump on her
Believe me, that imagaery is not lost on Drudge! He's had more than his fair share of 'mikes' at his mouth!
Drudge, Halperin, Harris are all closet cases. Think about it, they don't exactly do any hard investigative reporting ie., this Administration, etc., they go for scandal-and how to bring anyone more powerful than they are down. These 3 stooges are not even comfortable in their own skins and with their own sexuality--they stage petty, vindictive witchhunts on people who they perceive as threatening to them.
I used to watch Charlie Rose religously, not since Halperin joined him. I won't even watch Charlie Gibson anymore--because I am very suspect about some of their reporting. These people are a bunch of wusses.
I suppose it's significant that the mic is black, right?
So much for the "party of values".
i didn't get it till it was explained...
methinks ya'll looking too deep, but i wouldn't put it past him.
i must ask the gay contributors
other than taxes, why the fuck are there so many gay repugs?
why are so many of them so outspoken?
i just dont get it
i dont get why there are so many orthodox jewish repugs either, but they arent being bashed on a daily basis like gays are
please explain this to me
thank you
uncle joe mccarthy @ 65:
$?
Hmm. Perhaps the fact that there were quite a few different interpretations of the picture suggests it wasn't as dirty we're led to believe. I thought it was a focus on the wedding ring - and still do. For the record, I'm a gay, hard-left liberal and my mind didn't come anywhere close to the image many of you saw. And some of the comments here from my liberal brethren regarding Drudge's homosexuality are far more offensive.
Contrast that with the image posted a few days ago on this site that appeared to be John McCain grabbing George Bush's package while hugging him. There was no question what we were supposed to "see" and yet it was posted by this very site! I've been reading C&L a long time, and will continue to check-in, but try and be a little less hypocritical (and, perhaps, a little more respectful of war veterans wounded to the point that they hug funny).
Online definition of drudgery: hard monotonous routine work," work that does not require a great deal of skill". His name is delightfully appropriate.
Drudge has mic envy.
she's even wearing blue...
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Matt Drudge is a pig but I had no idea you were up to repeating and posting pig shit on your blog. Take this post down and I'll believe that your not in the same ranks as a pig named Drudge.
Didn't your Mother or kindergarten teacher ever tell you not to repeat non-sense!
Moon-bat territory. Who's to say that pictures not just a coincidence? And if some C & L'ers didn't get it I highly doubt your average joe would realize the supposed dirty nature of this picture. Some people are such babies.
I see Pee-Wee Herman in my head winking, "Hmm...phallus-y!"
Before we all get off on what Druge and the Repubs are doing, let's not forget that o-MOB-a played the race card against the Clintons. Let us not forget the turncoat Dems that are working hard to get to Loserville again come November.
Let us not forget that the media has revved up o-MOB-a-mania, and that way too many Dems are falling for it, just like they did for Kerry in 04.
Let us not let all the Obamorons move on with their travesty without forcing them to look in the mirror and admit they are no better than the Drudges of this world.
You call Clinton a racist and then expect my vote if you steal this thing.
I say no. I say hell no.
I can't believe how many people missed that was going on in that picture.
As for JA looking too deep? Um, did you people completely miss the framing of the image? The cutting off of her face on a headline story? Proximity of the mic to her mouth? Hand position? Direction the mic is pointing? Her partially opened mouth?
That's not a closeup of her wedding ring.
reuters original photo
it is a focus on the ring with a sub-emphasis on dick. her gender and history is just a treasure chest of emotions to be played upon.
its fairly obvious to anyone in advertising. dont be neive, people.
dude, people are REALLY messing with hillary these days. Damn, how hard was that guy trying to get that shot? terrible. that was an AP photo too.
BlueIndependent @ 76:
Wow. You're having way too much fun with describing this thing. Funny how this photo has ended up being nothing more than a Rorschach test for C&L readers.
loubie @ 75:
Umm. At whom are you barking, exactly? Not only is it completely random, but a true joke of political commentary. With folks like you supporting her, Obama is a shoo-in. And the way you changed Obama to o-MOB-a is just SO damn cute!
It looks just like a Telefunken U-47!
Tonite's Drudge ran a photo of Chelsea with the caption, "NOT PIMPING." What a jerk.
Drudge's mug has "scat muncher" written all over it.
Professor Falken @ 81:
You'll love it, it's a way of life!
Really, John. The imagery is not clear to me. What are you talking about?
Drudge is a self-hating gay man on a scale all his own...
Don't mind Drudge, his mindless followers are unknowingly supporting his lush drunken stupor/coke habit on a daily basis....
I've hard many arguments with Drudge-ites....each time, their pathetic Weekly World News BS pulled from his site was debunked in under 15 minutes...
Lets be realistic, he's a self proclaimed 'white house gossip'....between appletini sessions & shoe shopping excursions with Coulter, the only other thing he does is pull things out of his rear (interesting paradox here) and 'attempt' to pass it off as journalism...which is somewhere on the humor scale between a Richard Pryor performance & a George Carlin HBO special. (Note....I'm a big fan of both Pryor & Carlin)
Can I coin a new name for the guy: Matt Dung?
Matt Drudge is a closet homosexual. David Brock outs him in his book, Blinded by the Right. He also details how Drudge dredges up non-existent facts to smear anyone and get quoted on his blog. Drudge is just what his name suggests...and worse. He's poison.
Kiva @ 4:
Excellent point. This is such a nonstory. Stick with stuff that really matters and stop being so sensitive.
Tasteless? Yes. Clever? Certainly.

I saw the imagery right away and yes,it was intentional to post it as such. If that means I have a 'dirty mind'-so be it. But 'reading too much into it'?. Nope. I've been on this planet 55 years. To paraphrase a old quote 'if your politics ain't dirty,you're doing it wrong'.
This calls for a parody drudge report website with imagry of him fondling eggs. In a lewd way.
Overreact much? To paraphrase Freud: Sometimes a microphone is just a microphone.
OOOOOH. A HAND JOB.
fair when you do it to the people you dislike; unfair when others do it to the people you like?
take a look how how bush is portrayed in that clapton video linked on the same page. I'm not a fan of bush, but just pointing out the hypocracy of your 'outrage'
Ha! Nice one, Matt. This is pretty tame and apparently difficult for people to figure out. Lighten up.
This is the stupidest post I have ever seen on here.
Call me the next time Drudge calls the acting US general in Iraq "General Betray Us" or suggests a Democrat is a nazi. Until then, members of the left, look to your own for stunts like that.
I don't get it. Should they have shown her eating a taco?
