Am I the only one that laughs at Matt Drudge's style of reporting?

Jim, Drudge has developed a very sarcastic style which borders on slander / libel at many times, except that his headlines are his "editorial opinion" and not fact. As a result, he gets away with calling people names, making backhand comments, and so on. He is also one of the very few "news hotlinkers" that most news sites encourage, because he drives so many hits. With 10 million page views per day claimed (although if you leave his site sitting, it auto-refreshes which I am sure pushes up the views) he is certainly a powerhouse site. Did you ever see him on tv? He was such a schmuck!
