Drudge Posts A Picture of Hillary Clinton With Squinted Eyes, Says She’s ‘Feeling Japanese’
Hillary Clinton is breaking from tradition by making her first overseas trip as Secretary of State to Asia. She is expected to stop in China, Japan, South Korea, and likely somewhere in Southeast Asia. Last month, Clinton told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that she was particularly interested in visiting Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country and the place where President Obama spent part of his childhood.
Today, Drudge prominently links to an AP story about Clinton’s trip. Here’s his photo and caption highlighting the story:
Drudge seems to have deliberately chosen a picture of Hillary that hints at Asian stereotypes — slanted eyes, arched eyebrows, and prominent teeth — to pair with the caption that she’s “feeling Japanese.”
This, unfortunately, isn’t the first time that Drudge has played up ethnic stereotypes:

Didn’t Drudge know that Obama was on an official trip to Kenya for the Senate? When Bush went to China, even he wore traditional Chinese robes to show respect for his hosts. It’s wearing the attire of the country out of respect and maturity, but the conservatards use it to spread the falsehood that our president is a Muslim.
What if he was? Are all Muslims wicked now?
February 3rd, 2009 at 1:59 pmDrudge is so yesterday — and he knows it. So he does what he can to pander to his base of conservative, narrow-minded bigots and racists.
I’d like to see a parade of photos of Bush in traditional garb that he has worn over the years.

Ur-Fascism grows up and seeks consensus by exploiting and exacerbating the natural fear of difference. The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.

Seriously? This is his best shot?
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:06 pmThe only thing I use Drudge for is wiping my butt when I run out of paper. Print and wipe….it feels so refreshing…lol.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:06 pmIt’s a two-fer–misogyny and xenophobia in one fell swoop. If he could only work homophobia in there…
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:07 pmAnd Dredge is an idiot.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:08 pmDrudge is a moron—a rich one, but still a moron. I could care less what he thinks but it disturbs me that the media use him as some kind of authority because they are sooooo lazy.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:08 pmAhhh, poor, poor Drudgey just can’t quit the Clintons!!

Let’s see, he could have included some crack about a gay-sha…
But that might require some wit on his part.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:14 pmQuestion: In Drudge’s closet, it there a white-hooded robe, or just a brown uniform with a swastika?
The media had a field day with David Duke’s comments about Michael Steele, but it Drudge any better? Since when is open racism embraced by society, regardless of whic side of the political spectrum is talking?
PEACE
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:14 pmI don’t know which is more appropriate, insulting Drudge or grumbling that this is considered a news story in the first place.

February 3rd, 2009 at 2:26 pmWindsor… perhaps you can spend more time sniffing at Drudge’s a$s to see what comes out of it.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:28 pmMaybe this is what Drudge was thinking…

February 3rd, 2009 at 2:35 pmThe right side simply cannot fight a fair fight. They have no ideas and no solutions – so what do they do? They call people names. The make fun of photoshopped images of politicians they don’t like. All types of high school, childish behavior. Our world is dying and that is how the right side acts. I am sure all the water carriers will be chuckling about the photo of Clinton but what solutions do they offer? None. What strategies do they support? None. What words do they share with the American people? None, they make fun of a Hillary Clinton photo. That is their solution to this countries problems. No wonder the are wandering through the darkness hoping Sarah Palin will stay relevant. Losers…
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:41 pmWindsor rambles.
You wouldn’t know a clown if it was the President of the US for the last 8 years.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:48 pmMaybe Hillary has been hanging with Olympic swimmer Mr Phelps….He’s gotta have the skunk.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:52 pm“Clinton eyes Asia…”
Cute. Wouldn’t have noticed it if they didn’t think they were so clever.

To the wingnuts, yes. They believe that Islam is the army of Satan that will attack Jerusalem, bringing in the Christians and signaling the End Times.
I’m not kidding.

Dude, don’t disrespect your butt like that.
I went to Drudge once… Once. I can’t look too long at a site that can’t even get it’s stylesheet or layout right.

It’s his only claim to fame. The more they are brought up, the more reflected light shines into the rock he lives under.
Once upon a time, a blogger scooped the MSM by less than a day. He’s been living on the glory of that one post ever since. And wearing a hat.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:57 pm“He’s gotta have the skunk.”
She does look pretty happy, doesn’t she? Bill looks a little bleary too.
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:02 pmMaybe he held it in this time.
I’ve got your picture, I’ve got your picture
I’d like a million of you all ’round myself
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You’ve got me turning up and turning down
I’m turning in I’m turning ’round
I’m turning Japanese
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:06 pmI think I’m turning Japanese
I really think so
Awwww, look at the racist gossipmonger! Ain’t he cute??
NOT.

Nevar,
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:13 pmI actually saw them in Hollyweird in 1982(?).
I used to crank them up while I made pizzas in Pinetop, Arizona.
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:15 pmDrudge is a bigot…and a lame one at that.
He is demonstrating the fine art of humor by conservatives…
…they just don’t understand it and think being bigots is funny.
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:21 pmI’m starting to feel a little nepalese…

February 3rd, 2009 at 4:04 pmDrudge is one sick effer!
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:29 pmI’ve heard that Matt Drudge and RushBo are on the down low.
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:30 pmSurely racism charges are in order here. What garbage & hatred.
February 3rd, 2009 at 6:39 pmDruge’s name is misspelled. He has no Dr. (PhD, MD, EdD, or otherwise). Give him an sl and treat accordingly.
I’m sorry to be juvenile but the context seems to call for it.
February 3rd, 2009 at 7:06 pmWhose hat is dumber? Drudge or Imus?
February 3rd, 2009 at 8:56 pmI can’t believe Obama picked Clinton as his secretary of state.
I think I am going to throw up.

February 4th, 2009 at 3:53 amDrudge is homo erectus.
February 4th, 2009 at 3:57 amTP, you trivialize real racism with stories like this. There must have been several honest ways you could have taken a shot at drudge without using a minority group for your own purposes.
February 4th, 2009 at 10:25 amIt is kinda funny, tho. Dwagon Wady.
February 4th, 2009 at 11:45 amI love all you liberals. So kind and loving. A silly joke and your into the KKK, Nazi’s Fascists nonsense.
Your ignorance is showing but that’s what you folks do, isn’t it.
OBTW The KKK was established by the Democrat party.
February 4th, 2009 at 12:53 pmWell, Drudge looks a bit muslim…with that idiotic beard1!!!
