Drudge is both a closet case and a republican. he's a homo who supports those that oppress him and his kind. He's got serious issues.

Drudge is an ass.

Actually I'm watching a TV News report with him now, and i'm really quite suprised, he sounds reasonably intelligent! Maybe it'll be on YouTube?

Aw - william's written to him; and at one point he refers to "my dad...."

My guess is that if it were 10 weeks.... he was back by the 9th feb....

It's disappointing this has leaked. It's dangerous enough even being there, but add to that he is a prince, it could just end quite bad. I hate 'war'.

Prince Harry listens to a briefing before going out on patrol through the deserted town of Garmisir.

Prince Harry is on a plane out of Afghanistan, a source told Usmagazine.com.
"He has left the base and is en route to another location," the source told Us.
The 23-year-old royal has been serving there with British troops since December, it was reported today.
"We will not comment on the whereabouts of Prince Harry," a Ministry of Defense spokesperson told Us.
Defense Secretary Des Browne told Us in a statement, "I am delighted that Prince Harry has had the opportunity to serve on operations in Afghanistan with his Battlegroup. In common with all the other British soldiers in Afghanistan he has done so with courage and distinction. We can be proud of him and all his fellow soldiers - we owe them all a great deal. The British media have shown great restraint in not reporting his deployment and I would like to thank them for doing so. It is however a great pity that the news has now been broken by media overseas."
Reporting on Harry's deployment was embargoed but the news was widely posted after an item on the Drudge Report.

Its been pointed out how the leak also puts other soliders lives at risk.

I don't agree with him going, I don't agree with anyone going though as this war is wrong wrong wrong! But on to more important matters, Harry looked so damn hot in the interview he gave on the bbc news!

That's my response to Matt Drudge, dirt-disher for the Far Right (he calls himself a "libertarian", but we all know that's bullshit), on the occasion of his being "outed" as a practicing homosexual by MSNBC's Jeanette Walls.

As Ms. Walls reports in her Scoop column for MSNBC, the take-no-prisoners Drudge dishes out dirt much, much better than he can take it:

I have written a book called Dish, which is being published by Avon/Spike next Tuesday. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the gossip industry and it examines the people who have been instrumental in the tabloidization of the media. There is, for example, a chapter on former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown — now running Talk. There’s also a chapter on Matt Drudge and his role in pioneering gossip in the Internet. I have nothing personal against Matt Drudge. I find him a complex, fascinating character, and I think the chapter about him is quite sympathetic. But, Drudge is upset because in my profile of him, I quote several gay former friends, including one named David Cohen who says he used to date Drudge.

I’m not out to hurt or embarrass Matt Drudge. I’m certainly not passing judgment on him. I do, however, find it hypocritical that a man who has become a spokesman of the far right has led a lifestyle at odds with the ultra-conservative values he supposedly embraces. Moreover, I find it ironic that a man whose entire career has been based on revealing the sexual behavior of others has a sexual history of his own that he now seems at pains to hide.

How did our hero react to his outing? Here's how, according to Ms. Walls:

...At first, Drudge denied the story, but later he became more evasive. "My youth to me is a blur," he told Rush. (Read Rush’s column on the Daily News online.) The next day, Drudge went after me on his Web site. "You’re becoming a laughing stock," he wrote. "Even by MSNBC standards."

In other words, Drudge attacked Ms. Walls for making a series of alleged errors -- but in doing so, made several far greater errors of his own.
