Yesterday we posted here about Politico’s unhealthy obsession with the Drudge Empire.

We speculated this:

So why the love fest? Perhaps it has something to do with the regularly appearing Politico stories that hit the front page of Drudge only seconds after they’re filed.

Well, well – less than 24 hours after the Politico gave this reach-around, Matt Drudge returned the favor- with this big, fat, wet kiss.

Ah, the joys of teamwork.
