A picture named Drudge.jpgMatt Drudge appeared on the Hannity and Colmes show with his torch a' burning for Chris Rock. (This is only part of the interview.)

He objected to Rock's particular sense of humor for making jokes about Bush, abortion, and gays, and while calling it humor also cited it as social commentary.( Isn't that humor?)

Hannity: Did you talk to Chris Rock for this story. Did you get in touch with him?

Drudge: No, because there's simply enough out there.

When Colmes asked him if he was using his website to try and get Rock removed:

Drudge: Oh, I don't know....

Colmes: ..do you have an agenda?

Drudge: No, I don't...I..I..I...

There's a lot in this interview that I'm not commenting on. What's appalling is Drudge taking Rock's statements out of context. This is clearly an orchestrated move. I only hope that the Oscar's and Rock don't cave in to the pressure that he and his followers will try and apply.
