John Kerry, who is expected to be nominated as secretary of state later this afternoon, has made frequent visits to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad...

...John Kerry served in Vietnam.
Looks like he was just making a relevant point. People post old articles all the time to make such points. It’s not a first.
Kerry and Tah-reh-sah hobnobbing with Assad and his trophy wife is news to most people, so it belongs on the front page, especially now with his cries of “Hitler” when they were @$$hole buddies nine months ago. John Francois has a nasty habit of backstabbing when it suits his purposes (see Vietnam veterans compared to Ghengis Khan) so again, newsworthy.
I have sent him links to several stories for a couple of years now and he seems to always wait another day or two to finally pick it up. Often, it is only after several other places like yahoo pick the stories up first.
Drudge Is simply refreshing people’s short memories. The guy that Kerry is now excoriating as a tyrant was a dinner guest of his just a few months ago. You are off base dissing Drudge on this story.
How dare he? Thousands of celebrities are being ignored!
I sense that rather than looking for ratings....hes making a sort of editorial statement by exposing Kerry VIA of the linked article
the day drudge needs to pump his ratings.....hasnt happened yet.
Barry Soetoro’s sex with Larry Sinclair happened YEARS ago, but if we find new photos of that, aren’t those photos a story?
Isn’t it still relevant that Obama is a communist traitor sabotaging the USA in the name of islam?
Shall we ‘stop reporting’ that too, since it broke a long time ago?
Drudge has ratings?
Why not comment on the issue rather than taking a cheap shot at Drudge?
Obviously you have no idea how much traffic Drudge gets by his simple posting of a siren.
Drudge posted it as a headline. Just short of “breaking”. If I posted the story anywhere else it would be laughed at.
drudge... informing more people by lunch then you will in your entire life
...for the VC.
Well, maybe in thought it was a fairly important tid bit, conflict of interest by Obama’s Sec State for example, maybe even betrayal at the highest levels of the Obama admin for political gain (ie, high crimes and treason).
er, “he” thought...
You’re way off base here. I had never seen that pic of Kerry with Assad and their respective wives dining out on a personal basis. I found it fascinating in light of Kerry’s insults regarding Assad currently, when they were buddy buddy back then. If you just going after Drudge because you get off on it, you aren’t going to get anywhere. And Drudge doesn’t need high ratings he’s already got.
Along side Jane Fonda.
This story is nonsense. It’s certainly news that Kerry dined with Assad when Bush was considering a war against him, and now he’s saying that Assad is an evil dictator when Obama wants to start a war.
It’s extremely relevant. Just as Kerry’s Vietnam doing continue to be relevant, although the media would prefer to forget them.
I suspect that the folks at the Weekly Standard are itching for a Syrian war, so they have their own motivations.
Drudge went off the rails with Romney, but he’s on track with this one.
