Selective Details... 

Compare this USA Today story with Drudge's coverage of it.

It'll take a while to find what Drudge is so pissy about in the story. In fact, you won't find it until the last paragraph, as a throaway. In case the links are gone, here's the short version: the news story is about various Democratic leaders gathering at DNC National HQ to give their support to John Kerry. It's a generally spin-free story, and the tag is somewhat humorous, a final detail on the description of the new headquarters building.

It seems that the DNC HQ has a door mat with W's face and the words "Give Bush the Boot." Rather innocuous and, frankly, far more benign than any of the mudslinging the Republicans have done. (Compare this sentiment with any of Ann Coulter's typical columns, in which she frequently calls for the death of liberals.)

And yet, Matt Drudge gets his little panties all in a twist, going so far as to track down a photo of the door mat. Gosh. Makes me wonder what he'd make of the T-Shirts and other items available here...
