Drudge Pooh-Poohs Hot Air

As an affiliate, I'm going to borrow a little slight by association.

Just ugh. The things I want to say right now. But we’ve got an FCC. The things I want to say. Maybe we’ll do, uh, uh, a commentary on the Internet like Michelle Malkin. Maybe I’ll stand in front of like a blue screen and hold a banana and start talking into the Internets. (Sneering tone) ‘This is Matt Drudge reporting on Hot Air.’ Agggh. You know. It’s ridiculous. Looks like, you know, Captain Kangaroo time, Michelle. Get real.

(The disparaging audio is also available at the link.)

Given Drudge's quaintly primitive interface, it's mildly ironic that he'd deride the production values of Hot Air's daily video installments of Vent, The Citizen Journalist Report, Press Play, and Jihad Watch.

Satisfyingly, Michelle has responded with a thorough and salubrious retort.

While we're at it, here's some unsolicited Web 2.0 advice for the Drudge Report:  for a nearly exclusively text-based website, it's shockingly cumbersome for mobile viewing.
