Wolfson: Drudge Siren Gave Me Nightmares

Via Politico, Former Hillary Clinton campaign flack (and current Fox News contributor) Howard Wolfson tells the New York Times how the Drudge siren drove him mad:

By the end of the campaign, I was seeing the Drudge siren in my sleep. As people in politics know all too well, Matt Drudge, the Internet provocateur who runs the Drudge Report Web site, posts a flashing siren whenever he wants to alert readers to major campaign news or rumors. The siren haunted my dreams and was always in the corner of my eye -- except when it was in plain sight, on my computer screen, signifying success or, more often, terrible failure and impending doom. As soon as that siren started flashing, instant messages would pop up, just below the siren, one after another -- each one beginning with "Seen Drudge?" until my entire computer screen was filled with instant-message boxes illuminated by the light of Drudge's siren. It might have been beautiful if it hadn't been so frightening.

Uh, Matt Drudge—scourge of the defeated?! Why give the Drudge idiot that kind of power?

[Horus45]

Drudge lost all credibility when he decided to make a big deal out of Ashley Todd who claimed that a black Obama supporter had carved a B in her face for revenge of her support for McCain.

I refuse to give Drudge the hits he needs for advertising dollars.
The less that people visit his site the less money he makes!

[kissmygrits]

And then he scrubbed his site of any mention of her, hilarious! such a loser...

Odd.....

considering the outcome, Drudge's siren seems to have elicited only chuckles from most of us.

What a coincidence. Your candidate gave ME nightmares.

Thank the gods we all woke up from that bad dream.

LOL

Item 202 of the things I'm thankful for...no PE Clinton

Looks like somebody needs to grow up and realize it's the People who rule this land, and not some pipsqueak gossip mongerer.

Seems like he's advertising for Drudge.

Drudge siren? I was seeing the Obama girl in my dreams!

[Tropiholic]

I hope he wears his famous sweater again this winter!

I forgot I made this about Wolfson during the primaries. I was scrolling through my photobucket because I uploaded some dessert pics highlighting what I made this year. And what do I find? Why it's none other than that l-iar with gray teeth.

That wasn't a Drudge siren - that was the sound of the gay and lesbian community leaving your candidate in droves because the Clintons still won't apologize for Don't Ask Don't Tell.

or maybe it was Drudge - he's a closeted gay Republican so maybe he was whistling at you.

[naeldwyck]

Wow, you manage to sound both liberal and homophobic at the same time!

[functor]

Nop! He is the "one", a sodomite!

[Eric8869]

It's not homophobic to point out someone is closeted.

[jetgirl]

Drudge was totally pointless in the election, as hard as he tried. He did a little better in the primary, but he's done and over. HuffPost is where it's at now.

[hmmmmmer]

Anyone who would listen to Drudge deserved to lose. Drudge is irrelevant.

[Darthwave]

See that's why you lost Wolfson! Instead of reading and paying attention to Huffington Post and other liberal blogs you spent your time worrying about what Matt Druge is reporting. Please do us a favor and don't join Hillary at state. Maybe you can join Hannity as the resident weak-knee liberal.

well said

The guys a wimp. He should have been more concerned with what the progressives thought of their campaign, rather then far right wack jobs.
