After returning to Los Angeles, Breitbart met Matt Drudge, founder of the conservative Drudge Report. It was the mid-1990s, and the Web was in its infancy. Breitbart went to work for Drudge and served as his legman for 15 years, learning how to excavate news items from databases and wire-service feeds. More than that, he adopted Drudge's contrarian worldview. "Matt rejects entrenched thinking," says Breitbart. If Drudge (who did not respond to messages seeking comment about his protégé) taught Breitbart a new way of seeing, it was another former employer, Arianna Huffington (who also...
...Party Tycoon It is a brilliant weekday afternoon, and Breitbart is at the wheel of his Range Rover, driving to the Los Angeles bureau of Fox News to make a live appearance on Fox's politics and business show America's Nightly Scoreboard. He'll then tape a segment for the late-night talkfest Red Eye, whose host, Greg Gutfeld, is a contributor to Big Journalism. On Scoreboard, Breitbart takes another jab at Blumenthal.

French newspapers and television news channels said Sarkozy's address meant the carbon tax was "dead and buried" - most of all because of the high improbability of all 27 E.U. members voting in an identical measure. Even Sarkozy's own allies are questioning the President's logic. "If we wait for Europe to make a decision, the carbon tax will be put off indefinitely," lamented Sarkozy's Secretary of State for Ecology Chantal Jouanno in the daily Libération Thursday. "I despair this stand-down...
...news has been relentlessly bad for the Pope. Two weeks ago, Germany was scandalized by revelations that a pedophile priest was allowed to work again with children after being transferred in 1980 to the Archdiocese of Munich, which was then headed by the future Pontiff. Over the weekend, an apology the Pope issued for sexual abuse by Irish priests was deemed insufficient by many of the victims. Now the New York Times has run an article accusing Pope Benedict XVI, who as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was head of the Vatican's doctrinal office, of not responding to requests...
