| Matt Drudge |
Matt Drudge, still bitter because Republicans lost the White House and got spanked in the Congressional races gleefully points out the verbal mis-steps during President Barack Obama’s swearing-in, saying Obama “FLUBS THE OATH.”
The right wing nut job must be off his medication, again, figuratively speaking.
To be sure, he forgot to report the fact that Mr. Cheney, who fought to the last to avoid the transfer of his records to the National Archives, obviously managed to move so many vice presidential records from the White House to the safety of an undisclosed location, that he pulled his back and needed a wheelchair for the Inauguration.
It doesn't pay to flout the requirement to preserve a truthful record, and perhaps, Bush supporters now think they can replace the truth about Obama's presidency with the Drudge Report.
It is certainly entertaining to watch the nutjobs try.
The truth is, the classification process is so convoluted, it is extremely easy to abuse, and the Bush administration has successfully cloaked the truths of the presidency, making undocumented speculation the only way to approximate truth.
In the meantime, we are left with the trash journalism of Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'reilly, and every other politically motivated nutjob who opposes the policies that Barack Obama has not even introduced.
Recently, Drudge touted the headline, "NO BIBLE USED AT OBAMA RE-SWEAR..." to try to further manufacture a scandal of the sort that he and co-horts like Lucianne Goldberg and Ann Coulter garner, to generate publicity.
These are the people who offer entertainment and seek to manufacture and/or exploit scandal for political reasons, and that's very dangerous.
