Drudge Screams 'Ethical Firestorm!' Over ABC News Broadcast from the White House
Loud noises!
Let there be no doubt that Matt Drudge is the world's biggest douchebag. The gigantic screamer headline above leads us to this ridiculousness, written by Drudge himself:
On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!
Ethical firestorm? How is broadcasting from the White House an ethical firestorm? Even someone as thick as Drudge should know that every major press agency has a reporter INSIDE the White House every day reporting the, you know, news. Many of them -- GASP! Siren Light Animated GIF!!!! -- report live from inside the West Wing press room or on the front lawn.
By the way, remember when Fox News Channel's resident Monchichi Brett Baier did a whole thing from "inside the White House"?
O'Reilly, too. And then there were all of those Bush White House press releases that FOX News Channel aired verbatim.
But since Drudge is making a big pee-pee dance about this, expect all of the press to soon follow -- despite reality.

Matt Drudge = "world's biggest douchebag?"
I agree he's a douchebag, but I could rank others like Beck, Limpballs, John Ziegler, and others right up there as "world's biggest...."
Drudge is the biggest douchebag. Beck is the biggest nutcase. Limbaugh is the biggest schmuck. Ziegler is the biggest asshat. O'Reilly is the biggest heinie wipe. Hannity the biggest GOP ass licker.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
I stand corrected!
is the biggest cyst
Let's be clear...Limpballs is the biggest pilonidal cyst! That is, one near the buttocks!
With so many douche bags it's hard to pick a top douche bag. You almost have to categorize them and have elections.
Top Douche Bag Politicians
Cheney, Bush, Rumsfield, Goonzales, Gingrich, Rice...
Top Media Douche Bag....television
O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity, Coulter
Top Media Douche Bag....radio
Limbaugh, Neil Borscht, Mike Weiner Savage
Top Media Douche Bag....newspaper
Jonah Goldberg, Charles Krauthammer, Cal Thomas
Top Douche Bag....Supreme Court
Scalia, Alito, Roberts
Top Douche Bag.....Democrat
Lieberman, Bayh
Top Republican Douche Bag
Which one isn't?

Hahahaha! I love that!
I never knew the ranch in Waco/Crawford had 1600 acres. What a cool number, Obama lives at 1600 Penn Ave! I wonder if GW ever had such a cool address...
He was on vacation most of the time. He probably didn't even know the address.
and pretend to get a handjob
"It is a tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing."
Not that pee-pee dance isn't good too.
Okay, I'll bite. WTF is Drudge talking about? Oh and what was he smoking before he said this?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
And the Welcom Mat he'd find there.
Holy prostatitis Batman! Not the Pee-Pee dance! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
It's kind of funny to see someone else use the phrase "pee-pee dance" as that's what we call what our little dog does when he wants to go outside. I started laughing when I saw Bob had used it in this post.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Poor Matt. He's a non player and he wants attention (and advertisers).

WATB's in one place before. What losers.
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught
will we realize we cannot eat money.
Oh boy, wait until Billo sinks his teeth or gums into this. He's gonna raise hell and stomp his foot and hold his breath and everything.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
he's as much an employee of the oligarchy (as is the FCC) face it this is not the same Country we we're prior to 2001.
It's Corporate Hell at best
...is the world's biggest douchebag.
I'm sure Joe Lieberdouche would contest that.
I don't believe it is possible to definitively name the world's biggest douchbag, though Drudge certainly deserves consideration.
Just put them all together to create the world's biggest douchbag.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
They're being nominated faster than anyone could possibly . . uh, measure(?) them!
I just heard on msnbc that Sen Ensign has admitted to having an affair with a staffer. Oh and yes, I believe he is a republican.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
The staffer wouldn't happen to be male, would he?
That would complete the hypocrisy.
he was one of the ones ranting about Bill Clinton. The "Family Values" party strikes again!
Drudge is a worthless hack. It is fairly tempting to put him in the running for biggest douchebag, but as long as michael weiner, rush limbaugh, michelle "Tokyo Rose" malkin, and ann coulter (none of whom deserve capital letters in their names) are alive he'll be stuck in the "Bush Leagues" forever.
Looking at all the comments so far, it's sad there are so many right-wing douchebags from which to choose the "biggest."
And this is somehow worse than having Jeff Gannon, a fake "reporter" with phony credentials, in the WH press corps, whose sole purpose was to ask softball questions of Bush?
Never mind that he was actually a male prostitute?

By Michelle Malkin • June 16, 2009 11:23 AM ABC News should be required to register as a federal lobbyist.
On June 24, Drudge reports, the network will broadcast from inside the White House to air a propaganda special for Obamacare.
Opposing voices will reportedly be excluded. ABC News says “thoughtful” and “diverse” points of view will be allowed. In other words: Shills of all colors!

Rush calls ‘em our state-run media.
I call it government-controlled stenography."
...End of Malkinization...
Okay, I'm back. No irony to see here. After the Preznit Bust and Darth Cheney lied us into an unnecessary war, and the press just "stenographied" for them so uncritically...
Seems to me ABC was very abject in their reportage on the Repubs.
Of course, whatever Drudge and Limbaugh say, Must Be True!
While I agree that Drudge is over the top, the ABC inside-the-White-House coverage was an utter hack job and bordered on sycophantism. I learned nothing significant from it; no tough questions were asked.
Granted, more conservative news outlets than ABC had similar access to Bush, but that strengthens the argument that neither ABC nor FOX do good critical reporting. The Obama administration has a lot to answer for, and I hope Crooks and Liars calls him out as vocally as it called out Bush.
will call him out on it. Yer in Demland dude! Oh and in a related story:
Can ya all feel that change? Oh, but, but, but, he's only been in power ___ amount of days and you WANT real change like he promised in all his fancy teleprompter speeches!!!
to anyone who is interested. None are.
