There are many, many legitimate news stories that need to be written criticizing the arrogance, missteps, and outright lies of the Obama Administration, but Matt Drudge's attempt to drum up "PeaGate"—insinuating that Michelle Obama faked her White House garden, is really reaching...

... and more than just a little incompetent.

You'll note that there are two links in the photo, the first goes to the press release about the March 20th planting of the garden,and the second links to the press release about the June 16 harvest.

That's 88 days... well within normal boundaries for many plants grown as early-season vegetables, including those mention in the harvest press release.

Peas? They can be ready in 60 days. Lettuce? Looseleaf, butterhead, and romaine, range between 40-75 days.

It took maybe 20 seconds on Google to look that up. That's 20 seconds that could have saved Drudge from making a complete ass out of himself.
