Anyone who checks the Drudge Report on Sunday night knows Matt Drudge has a radio show. (And no, it s not the FM version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.) Being that we have a totally obvious crush on Drudge and seeing that Henry the Intern will soon have his Sunday nights free we had K. Eric check out last night's broadcast. What did he hear? Plenty of dance tracks and concern over a super gay solar storm. (Kidding, kind of.) After the jump, his report on all this magic plus Drudge's blog hatred.

How do you feel after listening to three hours of Matt Drudge, from 10:00 PM ET to 1:00 AM? You feel like you want to dance.

Drudge starts his show with an unusual personalized soundtrack, a weird Pet Shop Boys-like song cut with a high pitched female voice saying DRUDGE. Four beats. DRUDGE. Eight beats. DRUDGE. (Recording coming soon, I promise.)

Admittedly, that s about where I tuned out last night. (NBA playoffs were on. Phoenix lost.) But while my left brain was engaged with Steve Nash, my right brain caught Matty s highlights.

On politics: Drudge licked his lips for Hillary Clinton, wishing for a Cheney/Hillbilly match-up in 2008. Cheney, you say? According to Drudge, Bob Woodward dropped a stink bomb on Chris Matthews MSNBC show on Sunday the one people watch and labeled Cheney as serious dark horse candidate for 2008. Fuck me.

Around this time, another dance track started with a man bizarrely singing lyrics about the windmills of the mind.

On his usual topics, weather and abortion: Watch out! We re apparently in the middle of a solar storm, with a 9 on the K Index. (Presumably, similar to the Saturday night KY Index.) It s the maximum deviation of the earth s magnetic field, he said. We re in the thick of it, and we re still on the air. Thank God for that.

He yabbered on for a good ten minutes on women who have abortions for lifestyle reasons, pointing to an article in the British media about a woman from London had six abortions in 12 months. (Beats my record, if you count the ones I paid for.)

On so-called blogs: Drudge, btw, hates the word blog. He prefers the term websites run by non-corporate entities. Don t quite know how he got on the subject something about not trusting the media because of a problem in Islam world. Anyway, he cited a poll saying 2 out of 10 regular folks read blogs, while 8 out of 10 journalists read them. Yes, that scared us more than the solar storm.

Did I mention it was a call in show? 1-866-4DRUDGE? Sadly, I got a busy signal the whole evening. However, a number of insightful listeners did get through, including the last caller: I think Michael Jackson is in trouble and [insert insane rambling here] Drudge responded: Wow, if he was more manly you don t think He s got the jail cell next to Charles Mason if he s guilty. The show ended. I danced.
