drudgeOn his Sunday night radio program, Matt Drudge blasted Keith Olbermann as a “phony,” calling him “complete and utter camp.”

Drudge — the operator of the right-wing pseudo news site Drudge Report — was talking about the Venezuelan government’s shutdown of the country’s oldest private TV station when he veered the discussion into a hit piece on Olbermann. “When we start hearing that the National Guard is seizing television stations, alright then I’m on board,” Drudge said. “Then I’m on board, Olbermann. Until then, it’s all pancake, makeup, and Edward R. Murrow ‘good night and good luck’ and…complete and utter camp.”

“What’s being peddled over there at MSNBC” is “phony — phony lights, phony music, and everything there,” said Drudge, an Internet gossip who frolics in “the most salacious aspects of American politics.”

In 1998, Matt Drudge ran a TV series on Fox. Olbermann said at the time that Drudge “has gone from being an idiot with a modem to an idiot with a modem and a television show on the most irresponsible network in America.”

Digg It!

Transcript:

DRUDGE: When we start hearing that the National Guard is seizing television stations, alright then I’m on board. Then I’m on board, Olbermann. Until then, it’s all pancake, makeup, and Edward R. Murrow good night and good luck and all… you know. Camp. Camp! That’s the right word to describe what’s being peddled over there at MSNBC. Complete and utter camp.

OLBERMANN (voice over): “Good night and good luck.”

DRUDGE: And some people are taking it seriously because they think it’s on TV so it has to be real. Please. And then they take off the hair, they take off the teeth, and they peel the face off — and then it’s you know, it’s all this phony — phony lights, phony music, and everything there.

“complete and utter camp.”

Drudge should know.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

I find it hard taking anything Drudge argues seriously. OTOH, I hope Olbermann is as tough on the Ds as he was on Bush. I haven't listened in a while, but some of his anti-Bush stuff was excellent.

I can't understand how Drudge still has this radio show.

He drones on and on about the same two or three topics for the entire three hours.

Ad sales must be extremely lacking.

In our local market, they play horrid 'bumper music' in slots that should be used for commercials.

Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!

Edward R. Murrow ‘good night and good luck’

Obermann is indeed a Murrow phony. Has been since he adopted Murrows mantra.

Owners of MSM play both sides of the street, this clown is pimping the right side presently.

A most excellent rant, thanks V. I'm glad KO is keeping all politicians in his sights.

Drudge's job is to fool Freepers into hating the designated targets, not to make sense to rational people. The GOP gave up on the half of American with IQs over 100 years ago. You need only look at the target audience for Fox News or the ads on Limbaugh's show to see this. Do thinking people breathlessly follow Lacy Peterson or buy penis extension pills?
