Drudging up the dirt

INTERNET newshound Matt Drudge made his name on January 17, 1998, announcing on his website: “A White House intern carried on a sexual affair with the President of the United States.” That intern was Monica Lewinsky, and the President was Bill Clinton.

Within weeks the story was international news and months later Clinton was almost kicked out of the White House for lying about the affair.

Now, right-wing, trilby hat-wearing Drudge is at it again, accusing the Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry over an intern.
