heck it’s been a long time, it was still washington watch or such I think, almost 10 years since clinton got goobered.. and we still ain’t rid of him or them. ;-)
Why was it ever taken off as a link?
I miss the Yahoo “political lobby” rooms.. Especially #9.. Say hi to everyone for me! ;)
I never heard of Drudge till I joined FR............
That’s so nice mware:)
I just sent an email thanking him and reminding him of some great times in the early days...
I hope this is a sign of some good cooperation to come.
Thanks for making me aware of the link...I guess I don’t go down that far on his site often.
DO you have a link to yourself at Drudge?
It’d be to a pretty empty blog or my FR profile page if I did. ;-)
Those were the days - if I catch your drift. David Sussman, Ray Heizer, Hugh Sprunt, Michael Rivero, Hughie2 ... et al.
Thank you, Norm, Matt!!
Not only are we listed now, but we are listed amongst the major media. Now that's a step up from where we were. Ho Ho!
Thanks, Matt!
I think someone’s never heard the Beach Boys’ song “Fun Fun Fun.”
To wit: “She’ll have fun, fun, fun ‘til her Daddy takes the T-Bird away...”
I’m guessing Norm was riffing off that well-known refrain. It wasn’t an insult or a slam.

Thanks! I hate to admit it but I remember those days well.. but not as well as I should, I reckun,, T-Bird,, arrgghh,, (slaps forehead) not Caddy .. ;-)
Danged if it isn’t! Very cool!
I really miss you guys, too. I was thinking just the other day — on Matt’s last show he specifically said “this is not Matt Drudge leaving radio for good,” but he hasn’t so much as subbed for anyone since that day. The ol’ Drudge Radio ping list is gettin’ cobwebby.
But I’m glad to talk to you and thank you for the ping. I’m surprised (a little), but not shocked to see him add FR again. Much breaking news has come out of this forum, and he knows that. It’s also an election year. Also, it’s clear that FR is in it for the long haul. Longevity on the www is 80% of the game, right?
Speaking of election years, it’s going to be sad not to have Matt every week for the next 7 months!
Well, he also links HuffPo and DailyKos. Did he just add those too, or have they been there awhile?
Yes, I found it from Drudge in about May 1998 as WHITEWATER FILES. I had just gotten my first 486 computer.
I arrived here from Drudge.. Four years before I had the nerve to sign up! I did my pre-FR time on Yahoo. God, it was brutal :)
Meanwhile, Breitbart no longer shows links to FR in its “Forum” section on the main page, and the FR link at bottom shows articles from 41 days ago...
Has anyone commented on why this is?
