Why would you want such a thing? Without getting into the pathetic excuse for journalism that Drudge purveys (okay, I got into it, sorry), Drudge's Web design is deliberately very no-frills, bland, no graphics or images.almost 1990s-style. I'd think you could replicate it with tables, Impact and Times fonts, and everything in boldface. Not tough to copy. It's also very recognizable, so if you use his design thematic for your own site (I'm assuming you're putting together a news site as well, forgive me if I'm wrong), people will quickly recognize it and may conclude that you're trying to emulate him/rip him off.

HTML Tidy says his front page has 145 warnings. He's using the old code (which I guess works for him since he's forcing our browsers into quirks mode). He's using embedded CSS commands instead of a style sheet. He's not using Courier after all, but he's using that ancient code to force text into 'typewriter' face. This is a terrible design. You can do better. Even if you want to replicate the design, you can avoid those basic mistakes.
