BEN SMITH GETS HALF CREDIT

He writes about the TSA kefuffle:

There's no doubt about who won on this issue: Matt Drudge chose it and drove it, illustrating both his continued power and his great sense of the public mood, and it now seems a matter of time until he gets results.

He would get full credit if he mentioned that the biggest radio gasbags - Limbaugh, Hannity & Beck - very effectively promote Drudge headlines.
