Yes We C… Yes It Has!

Just to reiterate, but isn’t it funny that the Republicans nominated the guy Matt Drudge hates more than anyone? [Drudge Report]

    Matt Drudge is just jealous he saw a dildo bigger than himself.

  2. tunamelt says at 5:53 pm, August 6th, 2008

    I find it hard to comprehend anything Matt Drudge writes without the aid of an animated gif.

  3. columnv says at 5:53 pm, August 6th, 2008

    I like it when Drudge wears that stupid fucking hat that makes him look like a 1920’s sleuth.

    Good job, asshat!

  4. Canuckledragger says at 5:53 pm, August 6th, 2008

    What’s that tiny object in the screen grab? Drudge’s penile implant?

  5. Spence says at 5:54 pm, August 6th, 2008

    What, no sirens?

  6. tunamelt says at 5:55 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Canuckledragger: anal probe! for aliens!

  7. wheelie says at 5:55 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Why is AP headlining this story as being about ‘tide pressure’? Is Barack Obama really King Canute?

  8. tunamelt says at 5:56 pm, August 6th, 2008
  9. weirdiowasculpture says at 5:56 pm, August 6th, 2008

    So the guy who’s main claim to fame is breaking the blow job story is now shocked that politics has been so trivialized that we’re arguing over whether keeping your tires inflated saves energy?

  10. The Real JR Revisted says at 5:57 pm, August 6th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: I totally thought it was a dildo at first blush.

    Which actually says more about me than anything.

  11. wheelie says at 5:57 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Canuckledragger: It’s an ergonomic hash pipe, I think. Now I’m even more confused.

  12. Fata Morgana says at 5:57 pm, August 6th, 2008

    That’s a rectal thermometer, right?

  13. weirdiowasculpture says at 5:57 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Can we please get the SWIM girl back up above the Cindy McCain wanted poster please? I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

  14. The Real JR Revisted says at 5:58 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Seriously though. It amazes me how even though his site is wildly followed, he still hasn’t updated the look of it since, what, Prodigy?

  15. GlennBecksTaint says at 6:02 pm, August 6th, 2008

    i once saw matt drudge eating arugula and drinking chardonnay

  16. Canuckledragger says at 6:02 pm, August 6th, 2008

    wheelie: I think you’re right. Let me just check with Rivers Cuomo, OK?

  17. EnBuenOra says at 6:05 pm, August 6th, 2008

    I don’t see what Drudge would be complaining about. A Democratic triumvirate would allow him 4,000,000 screeching flashing light emergency headlines per day.

  18. pinko-commie says at 6:05 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Matt Drudge is such a fucking idiot we can no longer use that term for anyone else, except current and former members of the Bush administration. He can’t stand that someone has made a valid point that shows that the Republictards desire to drill, drill, drill everywhere they fucking can is short-sighted and of no benefit to our current oil/gas-troubles.

    God, I can’t live through another four years of a Republican presidency.

  19. Mr Blifil says at 6:08 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Looks like a rejected character from Wall-E.

    Drudge I mean.

  20. fishcanoeski says at 6:08 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Someone should send Drudgy this article.

    http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1829354,00.html

    I would but his site gives me flashbacks of when I worked on my high school newspaper.

  21. Check out the “smoochies” picture of Barry and Hillary at the top of the page. Heh.

  22. sike101 says at 6:12 pm, August 6th, 2008

    has JOURNALISM come to this? Robert Novack must be rolling over in his grave, er, wait….

    what, too soon?

  23. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 6:39 pm, August 6th, 2008

    And his name! Wouldn’t you have changed it before you embarked on a career of asshattery? Connotations abound: Dredge, Sludge, Drugs, Dregs, Druids…

  24. Speed Ball says at 6:39 pm, August 6th, 2008

    That’s not tire-change we can believe in.

  25. kellygrrrl says at 6:40 pm, August 6th, 2008

    oh, matt, it’s almost as cool as a “cigar”
    maybe you can find obama’s tire gauge and run some DNA tests on it

  26. loudmouthredhead says at 6:40 pm, August 6th, 2008

    tunamelt: Damn, you beat me to it.
    Yes, Matt, is has come time for you to be sodomized with a tire pressure gage. Long overdue, in fact.

  27. Sinfonian84 says at 6:55 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Fata Morgana: I swear I hadn’t seen your comment before I discovered what Drudge really meant:

  29. JimNewell says at 7:26 pm, August 6th, 2008

    pinko-commie: umm, the point is that he’s making fun of mccain for making this a campaign issue…

  30. wheelie says at 7:42 pm, August 6th, 2008

    It’s August; silly season. Even your intrepid and earnest scoop-artist Matt Drudge is yawning at the headlines. Shouldn’t everyone just take the rest of the month off?

  31. JeffGoldblum says at 7:52 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Jim Newell: Um, last I checked Matt Drudge’s only campaign issue was “doing guys” like all the time. Dude’s gay.

    f0r R3aLz0r!!!

  32. JeffGoldblum says at 7:53 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Oh yeah, and vote Hillary(z0r).

  33. jagorev says at 8:04 pm, August 6th, 2008

    The Real JR Revisted: Personally, I think the Drudge design is timeless, sort of like how the New Yorker’s look hasn’t changed in 80+ years. I like how it doesn’t even remotely try to be fashionable. Designers dream of being able to come up with this kind of lasting power… you may laugh now, but eventually (around 2070) the Drudge homepage will be featured in a MoMA retrospective.

  34. wheelie says at 8:27 pm, August 6th, 2008

    jagorev: Right. And Britain’s Tate Modern will be celebrating this timeless design classic around about the same time.

  35. jagorev says at 9:33 pm, August 6th, 2008

    wheelie: And generations of college students will sit through Art History lectures where they discuss the finer points of LOLCAT form and the post-colonial meta-narrative of 2 girls 1 cup (in fact, given that those girls were in Brazil doing a shoot commissioned by a white American, I could hammer out a 10 page paper on this right now).

  36. wheelie says at 9:49 pm, August 6th, 2008

    jagorev: Oh you could write a paper right now? Ooh, I’m so scared. I guess I will see you at the symposium in Amsterdam in 2065 when I deliver my Cats on Treadmills public lecture, and we will find out then who is the more astute internets historian. See you in 57 years, bitch!

  37. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:13 pm, August 6th, 2008

    pinko-commie: WHAT? REPUBLICANS WANT TO DRILL? I am in hell right now. Please someone get a throw up bag from Delta for like $30.00 and ask if they can take it out of the stow away charges. It’s nice to see a troll from the left however. Very refreshing.

  38. gliberal says at 10:42 pm, August 6th, 2008

    I think Matthew shat in his hat.

  39. gliberal says at 10:43 pm, August 6th, 2008

    PS what’s the deal with the American Apparel girl in the swimsuit. She’s on here every night and she’s starting to get to me.

  40. RuperttheBear says at 10:53 pm, August 6th, 2008

    “You should all take the tires off your rims, and drive around making sparks and shit.” –John McCain.

  41. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:05 pm, August 6th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: Oh good he’s appealing to the Oakland folks now. Hyphy. Perhaps later we can all murder-out our bikes and wield a knife for Wheat Thins.

  42. glamourdammerung says at 11:09 pm, August 6th, 2008

    I think the GOP needs to go back to having Senator Larry Craig be their spokesperson regarding drilling.

  43. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 11:22 pm, August 6th, 2008

    Oh, this is about the campaign. I thought Drudge was just letting us know the only thing he can get off with any more.

    sike101: What? Did he decided to stay in it this time?

  44. valobama says at 11:32 pm, August 6th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: you said rims

  45. WonkaBee says at 11:39 pm, August 6th, 2008

    wheelie: oh my god

    I think you have indeed found the worst site design of all time.

    Put me in the column of admirers of DrudgeDesign, though. Especially after that abomination….

  46. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 11:50 pm, August 6th, 2008

    fishcanoeski: That article’s estimates of the amount of oil produced by drilling offshore is based on a 2003 estimate that assumed a $50 barrel oil in 2010. The price is already more than twice that. Oil companies will be able to invest more and produce more if they are getting today’s higher price.

    Moreover, the savings by the inflation of tires would only occur if every single person went out and inflated their tires to the proper level immediately upon Obama telling them to do so. McCain’s plan is would result in real increases in supply. Obama’s plan is a thought experiment.

    McCain could tell everyone to stop commiting crimes. If everyone obeyed him it would be an effective crime plan but is it realistic? Obama seems to think the power of his words will heal the world but doesn’t seem to be offering real world solutions.

  47. Darehead says at 12:06 am, August 7th, 2008

    I guess we can go to Drudge for probing news anal-ysis.

  48. sanantonerose says at 1:07 am, August 7th, 2008

    Looks like a slide whistle to me! Oh yeah!

  49. Just…can’t…take…the pressure. Oh, wait. Now I can.

    sanantonerose: Hahaha, dirty. Hm.

  50. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 7:56 am, August 7th, 2008

    Drudge actually made me click on his headline to find out what the hell that thing was, which got me thinking: He should replace the siren with an object so inscrutable and random, it forces people to click to find out what it is. Item 1: McCain’s removed blotch of skin…

  51. Darehead says at 9:00 am, August 7th, 2008

    Obama is too elitist to know how to use a tire gauge. Like when Bush, Sr. went to a supermarket for the first time in 40 years and didn’t know what a bar code was.

  52. liquiddaddy says at 11:39 am, August 7th, 2008

    I find those things very handy for smoking crack.

  53. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 12:50 pm, August 7th, 2008

    Are these ‘Obama Economic Plans’ made in China?

  54. textbasedboy says at 6:20 pm, August 7th, 2008

    The best part of this headline is that Drudge has spent all week headlining the Obama=Paris Hilton=celebrite=elitist=bad ad, but he points out Obama’s comment on tire pressure as being some sort of ridiculous scheme. At least Obama is able to stick to policy matters when poking fun at McCain.
