Rhoades has since been seen as a pipeline to the reclusive Drudge, who now has two veteran Washington reporters working on the site as well.".... Source

These machinations were documented in an article in The Environmental Forum, a magazine published by the Environmental Law Institute — an article Gingrich cited favorably in his own book on environmental policy.".......
What’s wrong with FR Moderators they insult Jack Wheeler who wrote this I placed in editorial and moved it to chat. What an insult to one of the top true conservatives left in this country.
BTW, a few people left before the vote because of flights they needed to catch—the airport at Houston was two hours away from Paul’s ranch.
