I used to feel that way. Then I just got tired of reading lies and bullshit. Visiting his site never helped me in any way.

NOTE: Are you hotlinking that image?

3. Some people eat their ice cream cones like that.
Maybe he was just in need of a double chocolate fudge chunk on a sugar cone with sprinkles.

7. well, if you watch the video, the "context" is that it was an unexplained half second action
of course Drudge is oversensationalizing it. But that's what Drudge is about.

9. Drudge has been simulating being a journalist for years now
To say nothing of his frequent oral satisfaction given to the far right.

15. Out of context....
Here is what was going on:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=14&entry_id=15090

"The video posted on Drudge is linked to the website of San Francisco-based ABC7 reporter Dan Noyes -- who has had several high profile run-ins with the mayor. Some of the Noyes' blog's comments excoriate the mayor for "going down" on the mike and other strange behaviors.

snip...


...The still is taken from a recent press availability, during which Newsom -- surrounded by journalists -- opened it up for questions and took a quick and playful bite at it, journalists there say.

"He's goofing around, he's taking a bite out of it," said one news executive at a competing station who says Drudge's representation is "just wrong."


snip...

...Noyes, at this week's press conference, tried repeatedly to get the mayor to answer questions on Laguna Honda hospital. The mayor ignored Noyes and said he would be happy to answer queries from other reporters, then smilingly took a big bite out of the closest mike.
