While I agree with your general point, I’m not sure why you’re choosing Drudge in particular to blame this on. He’s not particularly influential in the world of journalism, nor has he been hiding stories embarrasing to the current administration.

That was a little inside joke. Mark Halrpin said that “Drudge ruled his world” while he was at the Note and ABC.

[...] Lean Left sees much hope in news that 64% of the public believe that there are grounds for the impeachment of President Bush: [T]here are literally no major political figures out there making the case for impeachment. The public, it seems, is quite capable of making up its mind based on the facts of the matter, despite media spin. This is actually quite heartening and goes some distance toa llay my fears about the pernicious effect our rather poor media has on our democracy.

So, whatever happened to the Congressional Contempt citation and the Harriet Myers lot?

Hi folks:) I don’t see any grounds for impeachment. Bush didn’t deliberately lie about the WMDs. The intelligence services of Russia and Germany had the same information!

I’m interested more in what would happen should we suddenly pull out of Iraq, with the Iraquis being more or less passive in their own defense against terrorists. Would Iran take over Iraq and the region?

If that happened, what would happen to the price of oil, do you think? Saddam said that the Iraq war was about oil, and Greenspan seems to validate that in his memoirs.

Personally, I’m an isolationist a la Ron Paul. I think it’s our business to stay out of the business of other nations unless they do things that interfere with our legitimate interests in the region.

Any other thoughts along these lines?
best wishes,
Mike
