Shut Up, Drudge!

Jeez, Drudge, shut up already! Today, rumored Short-North resident and story thief Matt Drudge has been all over Chris Rock, using his hyper-sensationalistic "red font" to highlight that Rock has said some controversial things about the Oscars and MSAmerica. Memo to Drudge: who cares? Rock is right to call the Oscars out on their pretentious stuffiness, and Drudge should know better than to take what Rock says, at least in the fashion he says it, at face value. Actually, I suspect that Drudge DOES know better, and that instead, it's a race-baiting way to anger heartland conservatives:

Dean's C-Flag Truck guy: "Them Negroes talked bad about the Oscars! And he used 35 F-words in a minute! That's one every two seconds! There's no way it might be part of his bit, because we all know that the F-word has no context!"
Me: "Did you know Drudge is gay?"
DCFT guy: (head explodes)

Criminey, who cares!? Rock's funny, he has insightful, if liberal, vantage points on life, and he projects them. Leave him alone, Drudge, and stop being so over the top.
