Romney and Drudge

It's a widely-publicized fact that Mitt Romney's campaign chief practically has a private line to the Drudge Report page. So this morning, when Drudge splashed the latest headline designed to make Governor Huckabee look ignorant, it was not TOO surprising, although one wonders if any of Drudge's readers haven't caught on yet to the fact that he's shilling for Romney bigtime.

Also conveniently enough, Romney's response to Huckabee's criticism of President Bush's "bunker mentality" gets a spot right underneath, along with an article meant to make Mitt look tough.

And now, apparently all that wasn't good enough, so Romney's people had Drudge paint the headline red, as if it were reporting something that hasn't been said before. Huckabee has been critical of Bush's mentality from the start.

It'll be interesting to see how much more "dirt" wafting out of Camp Ken Doll finds its way onto Mr. Drudge's page. Ugh. Is this how the so-called "conservative" media has always worked? No thank you.
