No, Drudge values his integrity. If he loses that, he has nothing. He knows that. And that is why you have not seen this sleazy smear on his front page. There is no there, there.

Even the New York Carnival Barking Empty Suit's friend Pecker was forced to run the story as a "some one said there were rumors" type of story, because they had nothing other that.
