Just as the healthcare drama in the capitol reaches a grand finale, congressional officials are warning employees to avoid the DRUDGE REPORT!

The Senate's Committee on Environment and Public Works issued an urgent email late Monday claiming the DRUDGE REPORT is 'responsible for the many viruses popping up throughout the Senate.'

The committee ordered hill staff: 'Try to avoid' the DRUDGE REPORT 'for now'.

On Monday DRUDGE served over 29 million pages with NOT ONE email complaint received about 'pop ups', or the site serving 'viruses'.

The site was seen 149,967 times since March 1st from users at senate.gov and 244,347 times at house.gov. [10,825 visits from the White House, eop.gov]

The Systems Administrator may want to continue taking her antibiotic until the prescription runs out.

Oh and let me point out on the note of that FCC letter.

The almighty federal govt forces ALL ham and amateur license holder to submit their SSN to that fed database. There is no reason for that other than absolute control over do gooders and volunteers. No SSN then NO LICENSE.

Drudge has many links to OTHER sites. If there are viruses that is where they would come from, but probably the accusation is a BLEEPING LIE!

Let’s not forget Obama said that Fox is “not really a news channel”.

This Democrat controlled government wants to control what you read, what shows you watch on TV, what news you hear and see. They are the ultimate in facism.

I'll vote for "bleeping lie," but if they wish to "go green," they can use oregano essential oil to rid themselves of that pesky virus ...

I just wonder why President Obama and his folks don’t like about Drudge report too much truth

I can’t imagine other US Presidents take on Drudge can you imagine if Nixon Reagan or Bush 41 or 43 take Drudge on

COME ON

Yes, Drudge, and probably the rest of us here, probably do have cooties in the eyes of the left. Ooohhh, scary!!!

The same with me, that’s why I recognized it for what it was. I think it was a Drudge advertisor or something like that. What I experienced was real, not some dem trick, IMHO people are really overreacting.

For the skeptics, I check Drudge about 4 times a day, I experienced a simliar problem a few years ago, when it happened this time I knew what it was. I’m not a techno-geek in any sort of fashion, but this did happen yesterday afternoon and the government put out a “temporary warning” because something was actually happening.

Sorry to rain on all of y’all’s parade, but sometimes paranoids are right :).

Oh, I don’t doubt that there was a problem, but it was either caused by Obama’s stooges, or possibly by leftists who were operating independently.

Much the same thing happened a while back on Orly Taitz’s website. She posted a Kenyan birth certificate that she said was Obama’s, and about the same time her site was infected with various bugs. And then Google started warning people away from her site even after the bugs were gone.

I think Drudge probably has some really good tech people working for him. His site is usually fast despite the tremendous load of visitors it gets. So when it’s attacked, it’s quickly fixed. But no one can prevent attacks if hackers are determined enough.

Drudge has become one of Obama’s most influential critics, right up there with Rush and Fox. So it’s not surprising that they would go after him. Send a bug, then publicize it and warn everyone to stay clear.

They don't want the Senate employees to come to the realization that their work will lead to the ending of all their staff jobs.
Reading Drudge should scare the cr@p out of them IMO.

I think other US Presidents would welcome DRudge to the WH while this guy Obama refuse
