Drudge: Come out of the Closet !

[shooga]

Just like the Kerry story, we do not have full proof of Matt Drudge being a raging homosexual ...

Turn on the Radio and listen to DRUDGE savaging Dems right now. But in deference to fellow DUers here, I am going to hit "Alert" on myself right now and let the authorities decide.

The Big Question is how will this affect his Hard Right Wing following ... especially Treason Watchers like Ann Thrax !

p.s. Ann, you might be including a new chapter in your book .. the Impeachment of G.W. Bush.

1. Careful

DU deleted a post of mine refering to Drudge as a homosexual. Personally I thought I was slamming at Drudge rather than homosexuals in general but the moderator thought otherwise.

2. The PC threshold is pretty low here.

No sense of humor allowed.

3. Someone asked for proof

The original accusation for a queer drudge comes from fellow closeted log-cabineer David Brock.

I quote from "Blinded by the Right", p. 308 3rd paragraph

"After the June Washington dinner at my house, Drudge stayed in touch. We made arrangements to have dinner again when I was visiting Los Angeles in late July to celebrate my thirty-fifth birthday. durdge picked me up at a friend's house in the Hollywood Hills in his red Geo Metro, arriving with an impressive bouquet of yellow rose. Jesus, I thought, Drudge thinks we're going on a date. After dinner at the famed West Hollywood restaurant Dan Tana's, he suggested we go barhopping along the gay strip on Santa Monica Boulevard, which Drudge navigated like a pro. At a bar called Rage, I accepted his invitation to dance, but I was much more interested in checking out the two guys who were dancing nearby. When the couple disappeared, I asked Drudge if he had seen where the pair had gone. "Yeah," Drudge quacked, "I saw what was going on there, and I stepped on one of their feet really hard to get rid of them." The gesture was sweet, in a way, but also scary, and I quickly called it a night. (Six months hence, I received hte following e-mail message from Drudge, under the subject heading "XXX." Drudge wrote: "Laura spreading stuff about you and me being fuck buddies. I should only be so lucky.")*

-----
* Drudge later denied a report that he was gay in the 1999 book Dish: The Inside Story of the World of Gossip by Jeannette Walls.
"

What does Brock provide that Drudge leaves out. Names, dates, SPECIFIC places, all verifiable stuff. It isn't some vague accusation that can't be verified like Jennifer Flowers.

I believe David Brock because he was willing to turn AGAINST his own tribe. I am also impressed with "Blinded by the Right" in general. That's why I tell people they should READ it.

So there you go. That's why people believe Drudge is gay.

5. has hDrudge ever been linked with a female date?

4. If Drudge came out of the closet

I'd be great to see the right-wing reaction--especially Rush Limbaugh's, considering Drudge has co-hosted his show numerous times. He would probably spontaneously combust when he found out.

6. What makes you think Rush isn't in the closet with Drudge?

Rush's vitriol is symptomatic of projection of the self-loathing that people who can't face their true sexuality often manifest.

He has to self medicate, he has to hate, he just can't admit he likes boys more than girls.

7. If Drudge was gay....wow...that'd be a GOP bomb shell...I'm not sure they

could handle it
