People Powered Howard gives Drudge a smack

Another reason Matt Drudge is a know-nothing hack:

Conservative heavyweight Matt Drudge has all but retracted a story about Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean after receiving a letter from the DNC's lawyers, RAW STORY can report.

Saying he took the DNC at their word -- and declining to mention the fact he had received a letter from a DNC lawyer asking him to take the story down -- Drudge posted an update to a story claiming that Chairman Dean had intervened in the New Orleans mayoral race. His update noted that the DNC had vehemently denied the report.

"The DRUDGE REPORT takes chairman Dean and his spokesman at their word," Drudge wrote. He did not offer an explicit retraction.

DNC communications director Karen Finney said the move came only after the Committee's lawyer had penned a note to Drudge asking him to take the story down.

The only reason conservatives take Drudge seriously is because he once scored on the blue dress story. Being 1 for 258,756 is enough to get you carte blanche with the conservative media.

I love that Dean takes no shit from these cowards.

They'll piss and moan and complain about the "trial lawyer" that forced Drudge to yank his BS, I'm sure. Everyone knows that Republicans hate lawyers. Except the ones that they use to defend them from corruption, bribery and doctor shopping charges.
