A LOW for even Drudge
Edited on Sun Nov-30-03 11:53 PM by Closer
So, he's reporting on this planned gathering of Hollywood elites called "Hate Bush." He goes on to list names of those invited (and what works they've done) and (get this) posts the telephone number of the lady to RSVP to if you're going to attend.


Whatcha doing there Drudge? Trying to get this lady harassed? Trying to get all the actors harassed and boycotted for not supporting your sugar daddy dubya?


You're as repulsive in nature as you are in looks.

I am sure that even Sully has his limits, although what they might be escapes me.

10. Hate Bush?
I dunno, I think something like "Dump Bush" would be more pro-active.

The list might have been longer, too.

11. This will backfire
Edited on Mon Dec-01-03 12:05 AM by PatrickS
The repukes trying to portray democrats as Bush haters will backfire badly. People will only see the words HATE and BUSH together and nothing else and this will make it easier for them to see the light and hate the pretzeldent.

12. "General Wesley Clark"
Edited on Mon Dec-01-03 12:14 AM by Military Brat
Drudge is slipping, forgetting his lockstep RW talking points. That's Retired General Wesley Clark.

But of course, in my book, once a general, always a general. (As long as that general is a man of honor.)

Edit: LOL on the "pretzeldent" in prior post
