“Not if you use your head and refuse to be manipulated.”

I figured Drudge must have done some basic fact checking before blaring a headline. I’ll admit it- my blood pressure shot up 30 points when I saw that big red headline on Drudge about the “mutiliation” of a young woman. That’s a very emotional accusation, which means Drudge should have been extra careful before reporting on it.

Well, it was initially a legitimate news story in that a police report was filed.

Then her story began to unravel.

What a shameful thing for someone to perpetrate—whatever her motivations were. I trust that if she were a McCain volunteer, she’ll be quickly cut loose. The last thing they need are people like that on the team.

Are you familiar with Mr Drudge's work?

Well, you figured wrong, then. Didn't you?

Back to my point about using your head.
