Closeted Homosexual Matt Drudge Does Rare Interview: I Go Where The Action Is

Via Mediaite:

Matt Drudge, who has owned and operated The Drudge Report website for nearly 20 years, gave a rare interview Friday to his hometown radio station of WTOP in Washington, D.C. During the short chat, he shared his thoughts on the current state of the political media landscape and defended his site’s conservative slant. “The D.C. I’m seeing now is so vibrant. This is the center, this is the heartbeat of the nation, for good or bad,” he said of the town where he grew up. When one of the hosts brought up “gridlock” in the nation’s capital, Drudge said, “Thank goodness for some gridlock. Can you imagine what would be happening if there was no gridlock?” He predicted that the upcoming midterm election could leave the division of power exactly as it is, proving that America “doesn’t want things changed” and actually likes the gridlock.

Drudge: "I'm a heat-seeking missile. I go where the action is.

Buchanan: Obama Should Go To Sochi

Three-times-failed GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan has written a World Net Daily column in which he calls on President Obama to attend the Sochi Olympics in solidarity against the recent terrorist attacks in Russia.

Vladimir Putin, who has his prestige fully invested in the Sochi games, would see this as a magnanimous gesture, a reaching out of America’s hand, to him and to Russia. What would be the downside? Those who have been calling for stiffing Putin and boycotting his Sochi games to protest Russia’s law prohibiting distribution of pro-homosexual propaganda to youth have already had their point made. In an in-your-face gesture, the U.S. delegation is headed by Billie Jean King, tennis legend and lesbian, who will travel to Sochi with gay athletes Brian Boitano, the ice skating gold medalist, and Caitlin Cahow, a two-time hockey medalist. “This is the grandest of snubs, to Putin and to Russia,” exults Chad Griffin of the Human Rights Campaign.

When it comes to the war on terror, we are in it together. If Russia’s end of the boat sinks, how long do we think ours will stay afloat? A quarter century ago, Ronald Reagan was being cheered as he strolled through Red Square. Is Putin responsible for the fact that the Russian people themselves no longer view America as a friend? Or did we, by pushing NATO onto Russia’s front porch and cutting her out of the Caspian Sea oil, contribute as well? And did not Americans collude with the oligarchs who, in the Boris Yeltsin years, looted Russia of much of her national wealth? Obama going to Sochi would turn a page, start a new chapter. Perhaps it would not be reciprocated. But what does Obama have to lose with such a brave and bold beau geste?

PREVIOUSLY ON JMG: Last month Buchanan praised France's neo-Nazi Manif Pour Tous for its anti-gay rallies. In August 2013, Buchanan declared that "Russia has it right" in their campaign against LGBT people. In April 2013, Buchanan called for Christians to commit civil disobedience against LGBT rights. Also last April, Buchanan declared that America deserves a fate as "the next Sodom and Gomorrah" for allowing same-sex marriage. In 2012 Buchanan claimed that "militant gay activists" had gotten him fired from his commentator gig on MSNBC, a charge backed by the Family Research Council. In 2010, Buchanan declared that there are too many Jews on the Supreme Court.

ARIZONA: Obama And Gov. Jan Brewer Exchange Terse Words At Airport

Moments after he stepped off Air Force One at the Phoenix airport this afternoon, President Obama exchanged terse words with wingnut Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who apparently began the incident by shoving an letter into Obama's hand. Brewer later spoke with a local reporter.

"He was a little disturbed about my book, Scorpions for Breakfast," Brewer said. "I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt. So." Asked what aspect of the book disturbed him, Brewer said: "That he didn't feel that I had treated him cordially. I said I was sorry he felt that way but I didn't get my sentence finished. Anyway, we're glad he's here. I'll regroup." On the letter, she said it was personal letter asking him to sit down with her to discuss the "Arizona comeback." She said she "reiterated an invitation that I've extended to him before with regards to coming to Arizona and going to the border with me." She said she would take him to lunch. "We've had a remarkable comeback here and I want to share that with him."

In support of their anti-gay and racist hero, hate groups and Tea Party supporters immediately began tweeting that the president had been verbally "whupped" by Brewer. Kapo blogger Gay Patriot changed his avatar to the above photo.UPDATE: The New York Times notes that Brewer's book claims that Obama allows illegal immigration because it provides more votes for the Democrats.

FLASHBACK: Here's Brewer famous meltdown at a debate during her 2010 run for reelection. You may also recall Brewer literally running from reporters after press conferences.

Missouri Billboard Calls For Revolution

JMG reader Arthur, who blogs at AmeriNZ tips us to the above billboard just posted along I-70 in Lafayette County, Missouri. Arthur writes:

There are two problems with all this rhetoric, beyond the sedition and violence they espouse. First, and most obviously, they will encourage the legendary “lone wolves” to commit acts of actual, real violence (there’s really no such thing as a “lone wolf” actually, because the violent right is interconnected through the Internet, even if individuals act alone). The second thing wrong with this is that the supposed “mainstream” of the Republican Party doesn’t condemn this utterly and without equivocation. They demand that liberals apologise for every loony thing that some leftist ever said, but they flat-out refuse to disavow the increasingly violent rhetoric of the right wing—folks who in most cases are members or voters of their party. The rhetoric of the far right is increasingly becoming a clear and present danger. The Republican Party has a duty to disavow it in the strongest possible terms now, and not feign remorse after something terrible happens because of that rhetoric.

Far from condemning this open call for treason, the Freepers are ecstatic. Typical reaction: "Locked and loaded!!!"

Gravity: Fact Or Jewish Conspiracy?

Warren Chisum, the wingnut head of the Texas Appropriations Committee, doesn't believe that the earth revolves around the sun, and is sending his fellow Texas legislators a memo promoting FixedEarth.com, a site devoted to "debunking" Copernicus. Accorded to the site, everything from Darwin to the Big Bang is a "Kabbalist" conspiracy. According to a Daily Kos diarist, Chisum may just be the "craziest winger of all time". THAT is a fearsome accomplishment.
