Drudge has been doing this since the day after landfall. He is desperately trying to get it off the radar. He knows as well as we do that it can only hurt Romney having Sandy in the news.

can we please, please, please go after Vitter en masse?

I send him emails all the time about his stance on abortion and contraception (my favorite line is 'How are all your prostitutes supposed to deal with your babies if they can't use contraception? Are you going to support them if they are forced to carry these little Vitters to term?).

After a few days he sends me an auto-reply, smarmy email thanking me for my 'support', and I have to remove my name from his email list again. But it's worth it. He is a true piece of shit!!! I'm so embarrassed that my state voted to reelect this turd!!!

But they need to throw gotcha journalism. And last minute scandal stories into the mix? Desperation. They are going down. And they know it!

No one is going to give a shit or hear about this. With five days left, all the media is about sandy. Drudge will not have enough time if any of this is true.

On the Daily Caller website (supposedly the origin of the Drudge story) they have an article on how Sen. Menendez is being accused by prostitutes in the Dominican Republic of paying them for sex and short changing them.

I'm not linking to the story or even quoting from it because merely going over to Tucker the fucker Carlson's website makes me ill.
