Breaking: Hillary Clinton Campaign Connection to Drudge Report
Detailed by International Herald Tribune (NYT) in October of 2007
-- A BuzzFlash Editor's Blog

An International Herald Tribune story of October 22, 2007, covers the irony of the Clinton campaign feeding stories to the Drudge Report as part of its strategy. (It was a repost from the New York Times, which owns the IHT.)

And the Clinton campaign wasn't hiding their new found interest in using Drudge to get attention for stories. They had a designated "liaison" according to the International Herald Tribune:

"Clinton's communications team, led by Howard Wolfson, is not leaving Drudge to the Republicans. Five current and former Democratic officials said Clinton has on her side the closest thing her party has ever had to Rhoades in Tracy Sefl, a former Democratic National Committee official. The officials said that Sefl had established a friendly relationship with Drudge and that Clinton's campaign often worked quietly through her to open a line of communication with Drudge."

Damn!

On edit: Massive Multiplayer Political Game



Hillary Clinton is joined at the hip with her husband. "I never did anything without discussing it with her first" says Bill Clinton. That refers to Bill's two terms and also, apparently, every one of her primaries. Hillary's theme is – "experience." She's been there, she knows how the world works, and she's got that special "wisdom" that comes only from the experience of listening and watching great events. If we were a royalty, she could be our "Watch Queen."

Snip

Lady Macbeth Clinton

She's had enough! She will do anything
to claim her right to rule.

27. He and buzz are the best..anyway,

I seem to agree with practically every take they have over the last 6 years. They're all about progressive+facts.

3. Ms Clinton also has a fox producer embeded

Her name is Aaron Bruns, it became clear just how closely she is embeded with Ms Clinton when she called in the accident with the officer last week from Ms Clintons car as it happened.

5. The Republicans are running the Clinton campaign.

[workinclasszero]

31. Thats because there ain't a dimes worth of difference between

a DLC'er like Hillary and a neocon, pro war, free trade slimeball rethug!

Hillary will work with the rethug party to defeat Obama so she can run again in 2012.

Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh and George Bush will no doubt help her out as well!

[KittyWampus]

9. I do remember earlier that the Clintons admitted giving something to Drudge. It was months ago

when Biden was still running.
