I'm so angry I could chew NeoCons a third asshole.
Just look at this piece of DRIVEL from Drudge.
McCain heckled by CNN reporter
Sun Apr 01 2007 13:50:38 ET**Exclusive**
During a live press conference in Bagdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press conference called Ware’s conduct "outrageous," saying, "here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I’ve never witnessed such disrespect. This guy is an activist not a reporter."
Senators McCain and Graham flew into Iraq and drove into Bagdad, making stops at an open market and a joint Iraq/American military security outpost before appearing at the press conference.
This is not the first time Michael Ware has taken issue with Senator McCain’s comments about early progress in Iraq. Last week, after Senator McCain told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he needed to catch up on the news coming out of Iraq, Michael Ware responded, saying:
Look at the goddamned time on that thing. It is now 9:28p EST.
WHERE IS THE REST OF THE FUCKING REPORT DRUDGE?
Oh, sorry..... HERE IS THE REST OF THE REPORT.

WHO SAID THIS MR DRUDGE?
WHAT DID MR WARE SAY MR DRUDGE?
There is a HUGE goddamned difference between "taking issue" with someones statements and FUCKING HECKLING THEM!!!
I swear to retract all the nasty shitty horribly splenetic things I am thinking about Matt Drudge at this moment if he backs this story up.
But he won't.... because it's not meant to be true or "sourced".
It's just meant to get the Mighty Wurlitzer up and running for the Right Wing Echo Chamber to drum a another fucking pretend controversy.
************Update************
It is almost 11p EST and not a single thing has changed in this report.
It is still "Developing" and "Exclusive".
Yes Mr Drudge, most of the things I MAKE UP IN MY HEAD are exclusive just like the SHIT YOU MAKE UP IN YOUR HEAD.

Mike Ware Responds to Drudges BASELESS Acusation.
Soledad: Let me ask you a question. There was a report that said you were heckling and you were laughing during the Senator's press conference. Was that true?
Ware: Well, let's bear in mind that this was a report that was linked by an unnamed official of some kind to a blog, somewhere on the internet. No one is going to put their name forward. We certainly haven't heard Senator McCain say anything about it, or has any of his staff come forward to say anything about it.
I did not heckle the Senator, indeed I did not say a word. I didn't even ask a question. In fact, when I raised my hand to ask a question, the press conference abruptly ended. So what I would suggest is that everyone that has any queries about whether I heckled, watch the video tape of the press conference.
Video of the above (I think).
******UPDATE 13:50p EST April 2nd, 2007*****************
And now, EXACTLY 24 HOURS LATER, Here is the video with 3 video clips, 2 for the presser and one for Wares rebuttal.
Where is the damn apology Drudge? I notice it's off your page, but no retraction or apology?
