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'.

Fahrenheit 451. Not just a movie anymore.
I’ve been checking in with Drudge several times a day for the past decade and never had a problem with viruses. This is B.S. I hope they don’t intimidate Drudge. He’s been doing great work informing the people. This administration is downright scary trying to shut down free speech. I’ve had about all I could take of this “transformation”.
I guess they’re claiming that truth has gone viral.
And, so it begins. Little by little the erosion of Freedom of Speech. This will only be a foretaste of things to come.
This is why Carter supports OB hands down. It makes him look better.
I think self-preservation is kicking in. They’ve been useful idiots, and now they know that the purge is coming.

The RATs probably picked up a virus at Tight_Butts.com
“Back in the 90’s the Drudge Report sent me to FR and I’ve been stuck with it ever since.”
Right there with ya brother! I must check this site at least 20 times a day for news. I am addicted.. I write software, and every time I do a build, I check Freerepublic.. Hey, linking takes time!
Why? Drudge links to all types of news sources, not just the ‘right-wing’ kind.
