America's new "Most Trusted Man In America" NBC'S LISA MYERS STEALS DRUDGE REPORT She said it was "Breaking News." She said that she had just learned it... "Monica Lewinsky had a sexual encounter with the president in his White House study, hours after Clinton attended Easter services with his family," rushed Myers. NBC's Myers broke the "breaking news" on MSNBC Wednesday evening. She then rushed it over to the network, breaking the breaking on NBC NIGHTLY NEWS. There was fallout all over the peacock. On CNBC's Chris Matthews HARDBALL, White House sex on Easter Sunday dominated conversation. HARDBALL guest, TIME magazine Karen Tumulty, told Matthews, "The White House has known this was coming for three days now." Well? Of course White House staffers knew the sex/church story was coming -- they read it in the DRUDGE REPORT. And so did Lisa Myers. Late Wednesday, a senior NBC producer explained that he was "aware" of a DRUDGE REPORT slugged "exclusive" that moved late Sunday night: "Sex on Sundays." The producer went silent when asked why there was no credit given to its original author. DRUDGE: "One date in question, Easter Sunday, April 7, 1996." MYERS: A Lewinsky visit on April 7, 1996 - Easter Sunday. DRUDGE: President Clinton attended an Easter Sunday church service that was filled with references to the death of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and the other 32 Americans killed in a plane crash in Croatia earlier that week. MYERS: Clinton was publicly mourning Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and his staff on that Easter, days after they were killed in a plane crash in Croatia. DRUDGE: After attending Easter Sunday church services with his wife Hillary Clinton, President Bill Clinton reportedly shared some private time with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. MYERS: [Lewinsky] had a sexual encounter with the president in his White House study, hours after Clinton attended Easter services with his family. ...And to think that it was just last week that NBC NEWS forever-tanned-anchor Brian Williams referred to the DRUDGE REPORT website by saying: "It rhymes with 'grudge.'" "You mean 'sludge,'" laughed NEWSWEEK reporter Howard Slimeman. Well. All is better than FUDGE. Myers did not return repeated phone calls seeking explanation on Wednesday. NBC NEWS president Andy Lack was on vacation and not available for comment on the Myers theft.
