I'd send him a nice DMCA warning in the e-mail to Drudge and his ISP.

Have you check the URL source to see if he's using your server too? 
If so, you're lucky! I'd replace the photo with a big "MATT DRUDGE IS

Other than from that, there's no recourse.....  That's why I have a 
big ugly copyright text splashed on all my images. :-(
