Does anyone take Huffington seriously? Did they ever? I'm just glad she's not associated with us anymore.

She'd have a better chance of success if she teamed with a cast of earwigs.

What did she pull? 1/2 percent? She was never a serious candidate. It was just one big publicity stunt.

If journalists want to quote her they should refer to her as a "stuntress."

Oh, While you’re at it, Arianna, take Tom Lantos with you and drop him off in Hungary.

Arianna, Sharpton, Kerry, Hitlery, Jackson, Bloomberg, Ted Kennedy, Bill CLinton...Makes me think that if these dirt bags can get somewhere in politics, I certainly can and so can every Freeper on this website.

I remember when she was Arianna Stasinopolos, president of the Oxford Union and stauch Thatcher supporter. Then she decided to chase cash, married Huffington and earned a pretty penny on her back.

Oh, crap! I forgot TomPaine, MoveOn, and of course DU. Nope, no libs at all online.

I remain firmly convinced that the only way Tina Brown got her job was because of the accent and the storied dinner parties that make or break the Manhattan Elite.

Oh boy, you nailed it with the Big Wigs pic. Oh, the cast of the Huffington clown show must send intellectual shivers up and down Freepers spines.

Oh the Horror! The Humanity!

It's safer, after all, for liberals to bash the government than Hollywood.
