I think the biggest argument for the design of the Drudge Report is that their biggest political/media rival, the Huffington Post, has borrowed their "one giant headline and photo" format. http://www.huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.com
I remember when the huffpo first came out, and it looked more like a traditional blog. I can't help but think they kind of gave in and started to use the ugly-but-effective-with-the-masses style that Drudge has been using for the last ten years.

You don't have to be a mouth-breather to appreciate something that is simply straightforward and readable. "Whitespace" and "clean design" are just aesthetic trends that have little positive correlation with readability or usability.
