Drudge gives the button movie some much needed publicity

I think I may have been at the theater at the same time as Sen. Biden to try and watch the Benjamin Button movie. I got in; he did not. Of course, that theater holds like 70 people, so it's no wonder it sells out all the time. For $10.25/ticket, you're almost better off going to the Bridge in Philly for just a couple dollars more ($12.50) and get a much better experience in a much nicer theater. You can even pick out your seats in advance.

It was sort of funny to read the headline Drudge put out about this rather mundane story: "CURIOUS CASE OF JOE BIDEN: No one notices VP-elect at sold out movie; Refused entrance..." Well, I think "refused entrance" is a bit over the top - the movie was sold out and so he would have had to see another show, see the show at another time, or go and do something else. And this is Delaware, we see famous people all the time and nobody cares. This city is like the New York of the east coast, give me a break. I chalk this one up to the "who cares" category right along with that sketch of people who couldn't remember what year was September 11. FYI, the answer (even without the sketch) is sadly pretty low.
