ABCNEWS TELLS WHITE HOUSE OF 'INDICTMENT'
Tue Oct 25 2005 19:08:02 ET

"We have double sourced that the vice president's chief of staff has been indicted," a reporter for ABCNEWS claimed to a White House press spokesman this afternoon.

The White House refused to comment on the claim. The network said they didn't need comment, they were preparing to run with the development on this evening's network news broadcast, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

***UPDATE 7:23 EDT*** Drudge has quickly hedged...now says: "A senior White House source quickly determined ABC was bluffing; the report did not run on the East coast feed of the program. " What are they trying to frame? Are they just trying to set the expectations high? What's the play here?

Drudge is a prick, and his sources are nothing but GOP operatives. Please dismiss anything coming from Drudge until it can be confirmed by someone serious. Please.

Screw Drudge!

:mad:

15. I'll go to Drudge before I'll go to Raw Story.

Most of the time he's actually IS telling it like he sees it, and he's not out trolling boards sucking people into an ad vortex so they can sit at his site punching refresh over and over like a lab monkey..

But then again, unless my site is linked I NEVER go there..

16. You mean to say Drudge might have just gone and made it all up?

Naw ....
