Maybe he's out tonight, drinking cocktails and eating a medium-rare steak topped with sautéed onions.
Drudge could very well away from his typewriter.
But one of the people he has monitoring FR day and night can put something on his site.
Fox Hannity, O’Reilly Van Sus etc as well as other news orgs, cable and MSM and talk radio, Rush, Beck etc all have people watching FR because most big stories get brought out here first.
FRee Republic is always on the job. Drudge, not so much and much less in recent years.
