We know that it's something of a slow news day, but Drudge might want to hold back that siren for news that's slightly more explosive than ABC's lawyers decision that the Primetime Live AI special can go forward tomorrow night. What's he going to do if it's confirmed that Paul Abdul was sleeping with that contestant, put up a cartoon of a little penis in a fedora ejaculating all over the headline?

Luckily, Reuters has a less man-spackled version of the story.

UPDATE: Now ABC News is teasing the story: "'I want to look out after you like I'm your mom.' He said Abdul then quickly changed her mind and said, 'Well, maybe more like your special friend.'" Oh, the explosive incest overtones!

Drudge, of course, reproduces much of this in a paroxysm of delight.
