Matt Drudge - Self-loathing and An Arrogant Horse's Ass

Now, I've never been a real big fan of the Drudge Report. I can get links o' plenty to news from many, many other sources. And I like reading blogs for the analysis and snark that you just can't get from traditional news sources. But all Matt Drudge does is provide link after link after link. Rarely is there any original commentary or perspective. So where the heck does he get off saying this??

He is no fan of the blogging phenomenon (weblogs linking sites): “I don’t read them. I like to create waves and not surf them. And who are these influential bloggers? You can’t name one because they don’t exist.”

No influential bloggers??? Come on, Matt. Don't you read the news? Or maybe you just read the headlines. Or perhaps you're been too preoccupied with the Michael Jackson trial to know about the media attention and readership that bloggers like Kos, Atrios, AmericaBlog and even the ambiguously gay bloggers at Powerline get.

But if you read the article closely, this fella makes $650,000 pounds a year. Good grief! I know he works hard reading news all day long, but all that just for a bunch of links. Geez!
