...and the vultures converge

In a Drudge exclusive, Matt reports:
The DRUDGE REPORT has learned from exclusive sources that Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.’s 90 year-old mother Rose has become a prisoner in her own Hamilton, NJ home because of a barrage of media requests.

The quiet neighborhood Mrs. Alito has lived in for over 50 years has been turned upside down all week by a swarm of national reporters who have phoned and shown up at the doorstep of not only her but many of her neighbors.

In the last 24 hours alone, she and her neighbors have been contacted by national reporters from NEWSWEEK, CBS’ “EARLY SHOW,” THE BOSTON GLOBE and THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.


This reminds me of another example of how the Left used this tactic to attempt to get an elderly parent of a target to "trip up" as a means of acquiring more mud to sling. I find it interesting, though, that I don't recollect this tactic ever being perpetrated on another liberal.
