Dreadful, even for Drudge

The top headline on the site currently reads:
THE HUNDRED DAYS: SUPPORTERS INSIST HE IS GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER
It links, naturally, to an achingly lazy Politico piece which pretends to know what WH aides want reporters to write about Obama's first 100 days. But here's the thing: nowhere in the article does it even come close to suggesting that supporters think Obama's the "greatest president ever."
Drudge just made that up. Fantasized it. Manufactured it. Describe it however you want. But there's zero in that Politico piece that even remotely hints at the headline Drudge dreamt up; a headline designed to portray Democrats as loony Obama worshipers.
FYI: Sadly, I don't think this is a joke. From the Politico piece [emphasis added]:
Full disclosure: POLITICO plunged in with our furrowed brow appraisal of Obama’s first 100 days, which will be published on Friday in a special glossy 100 Days magazine.
Yeah, I have a former associate who said that the liberal media thinks that Obama is the messiah. I explained that this claim is an invention of people like Rush Limbaugh, and he insisted that it was undeniably true.
It is driving the righties and DC media BONKERS that they cannot convince "real America" that Obama stinks. They keep slammin him yet his numbers are through the roof!
