Going Viral: Drudge Report edition
Uh oh: Some people in the U.S. House are getting ideas. Between March 1 and March 8 alone there were 244,347 people exposed. Meanwhile, at the Senate during that same period, the number was 149,967: that’s the number of times that The Drudge Report was accessed by people from the domain senate.gov that week. The White House is a smaller operation: 10,825 people from its domain accessed The Drudge Report that week.
What did they find out? Whatever it was, the pooh-bahs in the Senate are worried. The Senate’s “official gatekeeper,” a Foxnews report disclosed yesterday, has warned Senate staffers to avoid the site because they might learn something that upsets the ideological apple cart they’ve been pushing, er, because The Drudge Report is “responsible for the many viruses popping up throughout the Senate.”
Oh really? As the folks at Powerline observed, what we have here is a case of “obsession.” The problem with The Drudge Report is not that it is a source of malignant computer code. The problem is that it has been phenomenally successful at challenging the official Washington narrative.
The Official Washington Narrative—let’s call it OWN for short—isn’t the only game in town anymore. More and more, people are disowning OWN, in no small part because of Drudge and kindred initiatives.
That Senate Censor is right: Drudge is dangerous. Not because it spreads computer viruses but because it through it freedom has gone viral.
How rattled are the leaky powers that be? Here’s Nancy Pelosi explaining that “we have to pass the health care bill so that you can find out what is in it.”
Give it up, Nancy.
Axelrod must be getting an ulcer watching these imbeciles speak unscripted.
Yeah, we have to pass the health bill, etc, etc. That’s like me saying you should jump off a cliff to see what happens.
Nancy makes perfect sense. Most voters had to elect President O in order to find out who he is. Now they know and most of them are having regrets. So, probably Nancy means that we have to pass the bill so that we can find out what’s in it and then (too late) regret having passed it.
“we have to pass the health care bill so that you can find out what is in it.” Not to disagree with scott but my initial simile instinct was “but baby you’ll love me in the morning.” Perhaps my experience with rejection is like scott’s exeperience with cliffs.
The more I look at the how hard the left is trying to ruin everything, the more I’m reminded that the leftists in Washington were elected. The problem with America is that around 22% of our citizens are leftists.
Unless and until the country experiences a demographic shift that drastically reduces their numbers, they will continue to prey upon us and attempt to drag the nation into ruin.
“Through [Drudge] freedom has gone viral.”
HA HA HA HA HA! You guys are deep enough into the Kool-Aid to actually believe that, aren’t you? Good luck with that, white boys.
160,000 hits from the senate and WH.
HA HA HA HA HA
When I saw Pelosi make that statement, I thought it is time to weep for our country.
We should SAY the excuse worked so the dog can EAT the homework.
