"Bafflingly self-centered and short-sighted" was the perceptive Matthew Yglesias's reaction to the first rumours of the Hillary Clinton campaign's apparent pact with the notorious Matt Drudge of Drudge Report fame.
Drduge has been the recipient of several timely leaks from the Clinton campaign during the primary campaign. According to the New York Times:
Typical of a campaign with a reputation for exploiting every advantage and trying to neutralize every disadvantage, Mrs Clinton's communications team, led by Howard Wolfson, is not leaving Mr Drudge to the Republicans.
But as a poster on MyDD points out: "Bill Clinton's 'Bimbo erruptions' were nurtured via Drudge. What does it say about people that collaborate with those that exposed a families personal bad behavior and aired it to the world?"
