'More Dunham, please': Matt Drudge hopes actress keeps 'helping' Hillary Clinton

Matt Drudge doesn’t tweet often (and even then his tweets don’t necessarily hang around long), but he seems particularly happy to feature at the top of The Drudge Report today a New York Times piece suggesting that Lena Dunham of HBO’s “Girls” doesn’t seem to be working out as a mini-Hillary surrogate on the campaign trail.

Dunham, who in mid-December tweeted how excited she was to be asked to stump for Clinton on the road in January and beyond, did bring her “millennial cred” to New Hampshire and Iowa, but we’re not sure how effective her campaigning was. While Clinton is an old-school feminist not above planting a question about equal pay with a young girl at a town hall, word is that Dunham teared up speaking of the “horrific gendered attacks” that Clinton has survived.

The New York Times notes that these are different times, and women attending a Clinton speech on a college campus where neck touching is considered sexual battery are having trouble reconciling Clinton’s shielding of her husband from “bimbo eruptions” and standing by her man after a very public affair with a young intern. Clinton’s trying to get with the times …

@DRUDGE there's a ringing endorsement. A statutory rapist for a rapist enabler.

@DRUDGE Good thing I hadn't eaten breakfast before looking at that pic. Would have hurled my raisin bran.
