As my colleague Kate Conway noted on these pages yesterday, the Washington Times proved yesterday that they will miss no opportunity to attack President Obama, no matter how much of a stretch that attack may be. Today, The Drudge Report has proved the same. Drudge is currently hyping the completely false suggestion that President Obama skipped Polish President Lech Kaczynskis' funeral in favor of playing golf.

Observe:

Of course, Obama was unable to attend the funeral due to the fact that a cloud of volcanic ash has wrecked havoc on air travel in Europe, a fact which Drudge is clearly aware of if he read his own site. Indeed, his suggestion that Obama “goes golfing instead of attending Kaczynskis' funeral” is directly below this:

Apparently, putting two and two together isn't Drudge's strong suit.
