The Which Drudge Blare Project, McCain-Land Edition

McCain's new (and bogus) line of attack against Obama started with a headline on Drudge, quickly jumped to FOX News, and was quickly pushed by his own campaign.

What are the chances that McCain-land wasn't involved in getting Drudge to hype the story?

Now, apply the same thinking to the 'B' scratch hoax story. I'm not saying that McCain-land perpetrated the hoax, that would have been beyond stupid.

But it defies credulity to imagine that they weren't the ones who got Drudge -- and shortly thereafter, FOX -- to push the fake story.
