Two things I like about Matt Drudge: 1) the way so-called important and influential people kiss his butt; and 2) that he rarely responds to reporters’ requests for interviews or politicians’ requests for meetings. (See Clinton Finds Way to Play Along With Drudge – New York Times and Watching Matt Drudge – New York magazine)
He built the Drudge Report from nothing, and now he’s making millions with advertisements on a site that does nothing more than point people to news and gossip stories. Occasionally, he breaks news. Elusive. Genius.
Addendum: I used to want to meet Matt Drudge. Why? Just to say I met him. That’s it. I like meeting people I’ve read about (and admire).
By the way, new visitors, I’m looking for recommendations on where to stay in the UK.
