I actually go to his site everyday simply because it's an easy portal to use. But I do have to admit I've never clicked through and basically don't even notice the ads. I think the type of site reduces some of the effectiveness, not necessarily the content.
People don't use the Drudge site to read what Drudge has to say. They go there and leave immediately to another site. I think that's less attractive for advertisers, but I'm just making an educated guess.

I don't notice most ads anymore because I don't ever see most of them. Safari is blocking pop-ups, and I modified my hosts file to look for typical ad servers at 0.0.0.0 instead of their actual addresses.

It just sounded like you were going somewhere with the validity of advertising on his site. Perhaps that there was no good reason to.
I OF COURSE can't let you do that.
