1. Tarantino's new movie is about a slave revolt

Of course a film set around the issue of slavery is going to have that word in it, Tarantino's use of the word is in a very different context than Drudge's.

2. One guarantee:

Drudge has not seen the film. I agree with freedom of speech, so his use of the word does not shock me, either, as he hopes it will. Of course, I never read his drivel anyway so I would never know what he spews unless I see it in another media outlet.

3. Only Drudge...

4. I wonder if Drudge ever saw "Blazing Saddles."

7. It's odd that nobody cares if he has Samuel L. Jackson say it, but he can't say it himself.

You're worried about the dead what in your garage?

8. Judging by the headline, could he have meant nagger?

12. Locking - not of national interest

Drudge's use of language, or racial bias, is not 'breaking news'. Perhaps GD would be a better place for this.
