Time's Joe Klein, on Matt Drudge's hysteria of the day:
Take a look at this Drudge front page, all red and crazy. Over a CNBC commentary? It's obvious that Drudge, like Rush Limbaugh, is rooting for Obama to fail. But this sort of, well, crap, is downright pestilential. Real human beings have real investments -- 401ks, homes, small businesses -- that are on the line. Again and again, I'm infuriated by those in the media who somehow don't understand that this crisis is real and can become worse.
