On the evening of January 17th, 1998, Matt Drudge of
Drudge Report fame posted the headline that ultimately made he and his website famous:
"NEWSWEEK KILLS STORY ON WHITE HOUSE INTERN
X X X X X
BLOCKBUSTER REPORT: 23-YEAR OLD, FORMER WHITE HOUSE INTERN, SEX RELATIONSHIP WITH PRESIDENT"
The headline also marked the start of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which would dominate the media for the next year and ultimately lead to the impeachment of President Clinton. Regardless of your views on the Lewinsky matter, Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton, I think you'll have to admit that this is a pretty clever bumper sticker, and it's how
"Bragging Writes" will commemorate the ten-year "anniversary" of perhaps the biggest media feeding frenzy ever...
