Howard Wolfson on Drudge
Via Kos:

Obama's team wasn't obsessed with Drudge.

By the end of the campaign, I was seeing the Drudge siren in my sleep. As people in politics know all too well, Matt Drudge, the Internet provocateur who runs the Drudge Report Web site, posts a flashing siren whenever he wants to alert readers to major campaign news or rumors. The siren haunted my dreams and was always in the corner of my eye — except when it was in plain sight, on my computer screen, signifying success or, more often, terrible failure and impending doom. As soon as that siren started flashing, instant messages would pop up, just below the siren, one after another — each one beginning with "Seen Drudge?" until my entire computer screen was filled with instant-message boxes illuminated by the light of Drudge’s siren. It might have been beautiful if it hadn’t been so frightening.

HOWARD WOLFSON

Dumbasses.

2. Poor Howard.
Years behind the curve. Just like Drudge, come to think of it...

3. does anyone think that Wolfson might be coming with Clinton
as a "staffer" or "spokesperson", if she is indeed SOS? I saw something that alluded to/speculated about it on the Huffington Post the other day. He can stay at Fox, as far as I'm concerned.

5. I sure hope so.....
Prosense would be delighted too. That is why so many Clinton related threads are issued by the OP. I feel the love.

9. who knows, maybe Penn will tag along too...
after all he's into that Colombian union skull cracking and a SoS can make things a bit easier for him.


o, and Blackwater.

10. State Department Spokesman is a pretty low visibility position
If Clinton feels Wolfson would do a good job then she should appoint him. But honestly I think he'd probably rather make money in the private sector.

12. with their eyes?
:shrug:

si⋅ren: –noun

3. an acoustical instrument for producing musical tones, consisting essentially of a disk pierced with holes arranged equidistantly in a circle, rotated over a jet or stream of compressed air, steam, or the like, so that the stream is alternately interrupted and allowed to pass.
4. an implement of this kind used as a whistle, fog signal, or warning device.


(sometimes in the rush to be critical, one gets too nit picky)

8. What the heck was he doing reading Drudge?
He and Penn shouldn't try to do this again. Epic Fail.

18. I think that would be you
with all your scrapping and whining and holding sentry in these 'difficult times' when Hillary may again be up for a big job like VP, but will probably fuck up the interview again.

19. I think you're mistaken...
After all, I'm not posting multiple threads on her daily... or whining about her.

14. Sounds like a lot of Drudge-obsessed DUers during election season.
