Drudging up Dirt

Notorious internet pundit Matt Drudge created an on-line feeding frenzy yesterday, when he posted allegations of sexual misconduct on the part of the Democratic front-runner, Senator John Kerry. Drudge has yet to provide any evidence to support his accusations but the story has already begun to get traction in other media-outlets. This morning, on Imus, Senator Kerry categorically denied the unfounded claims against him.

Drudge also reported that General Wesley Clark, in an off-the-record chat with reporters earlier this week, predicted that the Kerry campaign would soon implode due to an "intern." A dubious claim considering
the AP reported Thursday afternoon that Clark in fact would endorse Kerry today.


Online periodical slate commented on the drudge induced scandal as well.
