I visit the Drudge site everyday. I have no idea who Mike Allen is.

And I'm sure that that's just why the smirking elites like it!

I have never heard of Mike Allen.

Mike Allen is a lib reporter who runs a Journolist-type email list and web page called Playbook that lazy reporters use to get their stories each day. He puts his playbook together each night based on talking points and leaks he gets from government insiders and other media contacts.

Moreover, the GOP-e uses him as its weapon of choice to backstab Conservatives, and he was originator of many of the worst Palin hack jobs that occurred from 2008 to 2012, when Team Romney was desperately trying to stop her.

For example:

Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin

What’s a Mike Allen, and how could he possibly be more influential than Matt Drudge?

Funny you should mention lack of photos. I used to see Matt Drudge in photos all the time, now, I only see pic of Matt that are about what? Ten years old. No, it’s not my business, but I wonder if Matt does not want to be seen in recent pictures because he has changed in some way. I don’t mean changed as dramatically as the movie reviewer Ebert did, after the removal of his jaw due to cancer. I mean something like the former actor. now director Ronnie Howard, who, to this day, hates being seen without that damn ball cap to hide his shiny bald head. Matt may just like being a man of mystery, because this business can quickly destroy you if you let it rules your life.

I guess better a Greta Garbo than a Howard Hughes, who died rich, demented and alone.
