Drudge only has that on his front page. It's a developing story.

When the House passed the Medicare prescription drug plan, there was a lot of talk about vote buying and a great deal of pressure applied to legislators who didn't want to pass the bill.

This sounds more serious than that original charge. It would be okay with me if they killed the bill because of some irregularity.

When it all come out in the wash, I doubt they'll be able to prove bribery.

There's a very real possibility, that some 'true' Conservatives voted in favor of the bill because of other things which were in the bill.

For instance: the increased funding levels for Rural Hospitals, which have lagged behind Urban areas in the reimbursement dept. I know for a fact of at least one CongressCritter who held his nose and voted for the bill due to the increased funding for Rural Hospitals. NEVER in a million years would he have supported the bill if it had been 'stand alone'.

Situations like this could very well be what Drudge has pulled together and decided to call bribery. Drudge is always looking for some attention getting angle on Sunday night to increase his radio number.
