Janet Napolitano Is Not A Fan Of How The Drudge Report Treats Her

» 47 comments

The Drudge Report is one of the most influential news aggregators around. However, Matt Drudge’s headlines, shortened to achieve maximum lean to the Right, do tend to ruffle some feathers. One such ruffle-victim appears to be Janet Napolitano who spoke out to Politico about the way the site depicts her, calling Drudge “just wrong” about her privacy policies.

On the site, Napolitano has been given the nickname “Big Sis” and features prominently in less than flattering headlines like “Big Sis defends 6-year old’s pat-down” and “Big Sis’ Latest Terrorists: More White Americans…” While she’s previously gone on record as being “amused” by the nomenclature, in a conversation with Politico, she explained why it doesn’t apply.

From Politico:

“‘I think my nickname is ‘Big Sis.’ I don’t think he means it kindly, actually,’ Napolitano said Tuesday, accurately recalling the moniker that often accompanies scary-looking photos of her on Drudge’s popular news site.

‘I think that what he means is we are watching too much—kind of an Orwellian view. He’s just wrong. I mean, he’s just wrong,’ Napolitano declared during a POLITICO Playbook breakfast at the Newseum. She said the privacy impact of new airport screening technology and similar programs are thoroughly vetted before they are implemented.

‘We want to be conscious of civil liberties and civil rights protections—and we are,’ Napolitano insisted.”

So Napolitano told a huge political website that she doesn’t like Drudge’s nickname and pictures. That’s a fun news story. I wonder how Drudge will aggregate it. Lets take a look at the front page:

Yep. We could have seen that coming.

    BooHoo… I’m not a fan of how her minions treat us at the airport.

  • stepshep

    Boohoo. I do no like the whiners.

  • Anonymous

    She is quite whiny… isn’t she?

    Grow up Big Sis…..

  • TruDat

    The fact of the matter is the woman is another left-wing hypocrite.  Contrast her illegal immigrant stance as Governor of AZ with her current position as an Obama lackey.

  • Anonymous

    She’s an idiot.

  • Ortizgarciajennifer

    I hate her. Shouldn’t she be at some all girl’s bar playing pool?

    She’s smart:
    “I think that what he means is we are watching too much—kind of an Orwellian view.”

    Glad she’s in charge!

  • TruDat

    They should make a short film of her putting in her tampon.

    And then show it to the Palin mongrels

    “Crisco-Napolitano” is the perfect example of a political-hack, who will do and say anything to appease her dog-handler. As Governor, she wrote many letters to the government about the need for securing our borders and ridding this country of the illegal alien parasites feeding off of legal American citizens. As Obimbo’s lackey, those issues have mysteriously disappeared and in their stead, we hear the regurgitation of Obimbo’s failed immigration policies. Freeing this country of Obimbo will reap many benefits. Kicking “Lard-ass” Napolitano down the road will be among the blessings.

    Big Sis is certainly more complimentary than the more apt “Incompetano” that is attached quite frequently.

    She should really consider shaving that stash.

    Are you kidding? She used Orweillan tactics right there to claim that a lie was true. The next thing she’ll tell you is that this is “peacetime” right? Because war is peace…

    I think calling her ‘Big Sis’ is just awful.

    I prefer ‘Mrs. Butterworth.’

  • Anonymous

    I agree. Calling this woman “Big Sis” is disrespectful…and, worse yet, wholly untrue.

    Instead, Drudge should call her what she is:

    ONE BIG SMELLY AND UGLY-ASS LESBIAN WHO AS GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA FUCKED THE STATE UP SO BAD IT HAS TAKEN THREE-PLUS YEARS JUST TO TRY TO FIX THE DAMAGE SHE DID, AFTER WHICH SHE GOT A CUSHY GOVERNMENT JOB THAT SHE WAS AS UNQUALIFIED FOR AS SHE WAS UNQUALIFIED TO BE GOVERNOR.

    There…that’s a whole lot better. And accurate, too.

    I bet her public hair looks like the hair on her head.

    Same thing with Ralph Maddow and his mustache…

  • Ajolily

    Being from AZ I can tell you that her stance on illegal immigration has not changed. She fought for illegals having drivers licenses and for no ID’s for voting. She undermined the bill the voters passed to require employers verify citizenship. She tried to block the sheriffs’ who tried to enforce the law. She was a proponent of not enforcing the laws she didn’t want enforced just as she is now.

    Hahahahahaha. And you get bent out of shape when you’re called a RACIST SOB

    Mr. Big Sis Napolitano reminds me of Jamie Gorelick, the Dep DOJ chief under Janet Reno, another very gender-confused [as they are in ALL of life's departments] DNC operative.   Gorelick erected the firewall which encouraged the bureaucrats at the CIA to keep the FBI ignorant that Al-Qaeda terrorists had flown into San Diego from Malaysia, in pursuit of their 9/11 Project.

    Gorelick of course was unknowing of her own perfidy, but to appoint her to the Commission of Inquiry after 9/11 was simply a method for her to cover her tracks—-she also made close to $100 million running FanFred before the CRA mortgage crisis induced by Dodd-Frank & other Dems guilty of “reckless endangerment” caused the economy to collapse.

    This is conveniently all blamed on GWB by the Zombie-in-Chief currently ruining the American Economy.   Good at finger-pointing and reading teleprompters—bad at firing incompetent gender-confused imbeciles like Mr. Big Sis….

    You don’t need Drudge to know that her vision of security is Orwellian. LOL

    Keep patting down the toddlers, Janet. We’re all safer for it. 

    What a tool.

    That was sarcasm.

    You’re actually complaining about people who can’t think for themselves Staci?

    You really made me laugh with that one.

    ROTFLMAO

    She missed all those assault weapons crossing the border to arm the drug lords who killed the Border guards.  YUP, she’s right on the ball.  She thought those guns were in the Adult Diaper of the 98 year old lady in a wheelchair so she had the TSA strip her naked at the Airport while she cried because of the humiliation.

    What’s she hiding in her Adult Diaper?
