Of course the media is infantile when their main news source is a baby!

By clock on June 21, 2007.

Thanks to Jeff over on Shakesville (or should it be IN Shakesville?):

Election Central reports that Drudge (who the hell and why still reads that sleazeball of all people!?) tried to slander Edwards by insinuating that his daughter Emma-Claire supports Hillary:

Her comment came in response to a Drudge item quoting a local newspaper account that suggested that the Edwards' nine-year-old child supported Hillary, not her father.

Election Central has learned that Elizabeth put a comment in the comments section of another Web site's post debunking the Drudge item.

Elizabeth claimed the daughter was joking and mocked Drudge as follows:

"It was Emma Claire, who pointed to a Hillary pin slyly and then, smiling pointed to her father. A nine-year [old] sense of humor -- you would have thought Matt Drudge would have been able to pick up on that."

I thought the conservatives were arrested at an adolescent stage of emotional development, but some like Drudge were, apparently, left behind even earlier - in temper-tantrumesque toddlerhood.

Elizabeth Edwards and Kim Tinkham: A tale of two victims of breast cancer
Two women died of breast cancer yesterday. One was named Kim Tinkham. One was named Elizabeth Edwards. In some ways, these women were similar. True, one was older than the other, but both of them died far sooner than they should have, one at age 53, the other at age 61. Both engaged in activism…

You've just _seriously_ pissed off one nine year old by calling her a baby.

Er, Drudge is a baby. Obviously Emma Claire is the mature one in this whole thing.
