Five Years

Five years ago, I decided I wanted to work a little in politics. I went with a mentor of mine to a New York Democratic Party breakfast in the restaurant under Barney's. On the program was a panel of strategists, writers and DeeDee Meyers, Bill Clinton's first press secretary. The moderator opened with, "Forget the original topics. I couldn't get this panel to talk about anything other than the Drudge Report, anyway." Then Ms. Meyers simply said, "I'm so happy not to have my old job."

Five years ago, a little, belt-way gossip rag "rocked the world" by breaking a story about the US President and an intern.
Happy Anniversary Drudge Report.
