Slog - Comments on The Drudge Retort http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/the_drudge_retort The Drudge Report is kicking up a scandal at the top of its page right now about three “skeptical” newspaper reporters who were booted from Obama’s campaign plane. The reason, Drudge suggests, is that “all three [newpapers] endorsed Sen.

Sometimes I imagine myself and a gang of others screaming in his face as he wets himself ---"WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGGGG! YOU'RE RUINING THE WORLD FOR YOUR OWN GAIN? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHO YOU ARE? YOU ARE A HITLER OF JOURNALISM!! A FUCKING PSYCHO OF REASON!!!! YOU GO AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT AMERICA STANDS FOR. HOW.DARE.YOU.PROFIT.FROM.WHILE.PUSHING.AND.FURTHERING.OUR.OWN.DEMISE.YOU.MISERABLE.CLOSETED.PIECE.OF.SHIT?!?!?!

It's as if some see our Democracy as only alive in their lifetime. Completely myopic. No sense of future. No sense of sustainably. No sense of DUTY to the tenets that journalism entails.

I would cry TREASON!! if crying treason wasn't such a fucking Drudge thing to do.

Oh my gosh, I have to stop.
