Fox News ^ | May 4, 2012

The good news for Arianna Huffington is that she gets to keep her share of the $315 million that AOL shelled out for her website. The bad news is her duties as editrix of the once-mighty Web conglomerate are being scaled back.

Way back.

When AOL boss Tim Armstrong announced he was adding the Huffington Post to the company’s stable of websites, he crowned the liberal doyenne editor of all properties, including TechCrunch, Patch.com, MovieFone and MapQuest.

She fell of the party line when she criticized the Obama Ad on Osama.

Arianna’s mistake was thinking she's important. To the left, she's just another useful idiot.

It’s crystal clear that’s the reason. She strayed from the reservation “Once!!!”.

For $315 million, you can’t be too picky.

To the left, she's just another useful idiot.

And not so useful anymore now that she criticized ObaMao. Even Pravda was allowed to criticize the Politburo once in a while.

Other than her cute Greek accent and former marriage to a fudgepacker, I can't figure out why she is even famous at all.

Can you imagine being a married woman who gets thrown under the bus by your husband because he wants to marry another man?
Say what you want about Arianna - - she has an excuse for being a crazy liberal goofball.

Should also be noted that under her editorship, the pageviews (and therefore readers and eyeballs seeing ads and revenues) have dropped precipitously, especially at TechCrunch.
