Cleveland Plain Dealer citing Drudge as credible source
If you took a look at the Drudge Report Friday morn ing, as I did, you may have noticed two stories that had a certain similarity, although one of them was about a schoolteacher in Manchester, England, and the other about Linda Ronstadt, the singer.

<snip>

Next we come to an interview with Linda Ronstadt in USA TODAY, and we hear this singer railing about Americans so confused and benighted that they did this utterly stupid thing. They re-elected President George W. Bush this past Nov. 2. Horrors await.

"People don't realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves," she is quoted as saying, adding later:

"I worry that some people are entertained by the idea of this war . They don't know anything about Iraqis, but they're angry and frustrated in their own lives. It's like Germany, before Hitler took over. The economy was bad and people felt kicked around. They looked for a scapegoat. Now we've got a bunch of Hitlers."

1. Pathetic news lately except for the Internet
They can't do their job and even work at their propaganda. Useless tripe.
Do some real research instead of pandering to the ignorant consumers they weaned away from real news.
