ABC News' The Note has caught anti-Drudge fever:

'PLAYGIRL' EDITOR FIRED AFTER OUTING SELF AS REPUBLICAN [Drudge Report]

Haha! Oh, man! (Yeah, we've been drinking green beer since about 8AM...)

Oh Drudgey, you forgot your favorite adjectives. Like hot, hungry, and gaping.

We know this may be hard for you to believe, but we re rather convinced that The People's Reporter, our beloved Matt Drudge, is biased. Shocking, yes, we know go ahead and grab a glass of water, sit down, whatever you need to do.

But, seriously: We're sure he reads it for the articles.

jessicagawker: Hey, buddy! Long time, eh?
jessicagawker: Listen, I just wanted to let you know — not to be nitpicky or anything, but...
jessicagawker: It's HOBBIT. But it's okay, we all make mistakes!
jessicagawker: I mean, have you ever read Gawker?

Matt Drudge introduces the world to our children's new plush overseers. Clearly Microsoft is pulling out of MSNBC in favor of the lucrative intelligent stuffed bear market.

The bodybag is a nice touch. Subtle.

Ha, ha! You've been punk'd! You didn't think Drudge was employing a popular metaphor, now did you? For shame; you should know better. Drudge is to be taken very, very literally — the popester isn't dead, he's just being quiet! JP2 is doing his thing, probably napping or reading, or maybe just meditating. Oh man, the look on your face...hilarious. He really got you.

Guess you have other plans, Matt.

Edmund Hillary, maybe.

Your point?

Hmmmm... Is this what The Post meant by third-grade-level jokes at Matt Drudge's expense?

If you're so funny, write your own damn joke.
