Drudge headline and picture are really a bit beyond the pale this morning. If a prominent gay man is getting married is it really necessary to run what looks looks an ass cupping shot as the front and center celebration of his wedding. Shame on Drudge. This is really petty.

I dunno, it wasn’t at all obvious to me. I had to scan the page several times before I saw what you were talking about. ---

> [@Ponder Stibbons](#): > > I dunno, it wasn’t at all obvious to me. I had to scan the page several times before I saw what you were talking about. The picture was a huge front and center when I posted. It’s since been moved to the side. Prominence aside, is it really necessary to run a picture like this as the keystone linking pic of the story? ---

It’s not necessary, it’s the Drudge Report. ---

No libel intended, but aren’t the only purveyors over age 14 of “fag” humor are heavily closeted homosexuals? ---

Don’t bother clicking the link – it’s off the front page. ---

The “With This Bling…” headline was clever though. But yeah, it’s just a brainless potshot. ---

If it’s the same shot as the one on the right, maybe it was just another pic to show the ring? ---

Yeah, you’re probably right, with that caption. ---

It’s the Drudge Report; what were you expecting, fair and balanced? ---
