Dear Readers:
This newsletter usually makes fun of people like Britney Spears and Russell Crowe. But news this month about an intern and a presidential candidate's affair -- which started on the Drudge Report and resulted in international headlines before it was reported that apparently there was neither an intern nor an affair -- have compelled your Scooper to turn her snarkiness in the direction of my porkpie-hatted colleague Matt Drudge. Only people who follow the Drudge Report will get this. So, to those of you who don‚t read Drudge, my apologies. To those who do, however, brace yourself for a
WORLD EXCLUSIVE REPORT!!!!!
Breaking NEWS!!!! Shocking Story!!!!
(If used, you must credit The Scoop ˆ which is desperate for credit on a story no matter how inane or flimsy it is.)
The Scoop Newsletter has learned that several news organizations have looked into rumors that Cyber Sleuth Matt Drudge has had gay relationships!!!!
The Drudgies are furiously annoyed by the shocking rumors, which if true, could rock the Drudge Report at its very foundation and rattle his gay-bashing fan base!!!
The rumors may or may not be true. The Scoop is merely reporting the existence of the allegations ˆ and the undeniable fact that reporters have looked into them.
Other news organizations have thus far held back from reporting this story because they are cowards and wimps and because for some bizarre reason they don‚t believe in reporting unverified details about a person's private life.
The Scoop Newsletter also holds to these high standards but this is not a story about someone‚s private life. It's a story about a media cover-up!!!!

Drudge, for the record, says that he is opposed to outing gay people. In fact, the whole topic of outing makes Matt Drudge sort of squirmy and prompts the man who brought us the Monica Lewinsky scandal as well as the more recent intern faux-scandal to declare that he doesn’t like sex stories at all.
“I don't do a lot of sex stuff,” Drudge told Radar magazine in 2003 when an interviewer asked what he thought of stories that out gay people. “I tend to stay away from all that, because I don't know where it will end. I was even uncomfortable with the story about Bill Bennett's gambling, because he's a private citizen going to a casino. I'm trying to maintain a site that is going for action and intrigue, but if I just start printing who's gay, who's straight, or who did a mound of coke last night, it all goes downhill very quickly.”
Developing……
Pioneering new frontiers in action and intrigue, I remain, as always,
Your Faithful Scooper,
Jeannette Walls
