Liberal Talk Radio

I’m on a roll here, folks. (I’ll be out of town for 4 days next week, so maybe I’m just overcompensating)

So how to I judge how freaked out the GOP is about this DeLay thing going down? As I explained earlier, I see how their first-responders (the conservative news organs) are handling the story. Earlier today I looked Fox’s reaction, which was spin, spin, spin. Now we look at Drudge. As of this afternoon, Drudge has nada, zip, not a thing on the DeLay indictment. Just stone cold silence. Though he does have links to Madonna’s new song and Google’s plans to build a new office building. This is truly the stuff of scandal!

What to make of Drudge’s silence? You’d think there’s something he could say about it. Like, “Dems send out fundraiser cashing in on DeLay indictment…” or “DeLay indictment is not NEARLY as bad as that one thing that Clinton did 10 years ago that everyone’s forgotten about…”

You know, something.

But instead it’s total silence. What to make of that? Is he trying to shift the news cycle to the California wildfires and the supreme court nomination? Probably. Will it work? I doubt it.

Update 7:50 pm PDT: Drudge is now linking to this Byron York article which simply states that Prosecutor Ronnie Earle is having a film made about him. Big whoop. Careful, Dems — this could be a trap, like what happened with Dan Rather. Let the Dems go on the attack, and then when it comes to nothing, accuse them of a witch hunt.

Tread light on this one. As the Post said today, this might just be a lot of sound and fury. Am I being paranoid? Just ask Larry David.
