39. Local "news" station decided to follow a Dem city councilman
they had "outed" as a "drunk driver"/alcoholic a while back ... got this guy into a lot of trouble ...

Now, on probation, the station must have a cameraman assigned to him to follow him to bars in Cleveland ... videotaped "him" having a few beers in a Cleveland bar ... trouble (for the station) was, you couldn't see what he was drinking, so they had no real proof other than him being in the nightclub ... and you could barely make out who he was ...

So, if there's that much effort to nail a Dem ... why shouldn't Drudge be dragged through they hypocrisy mud?
