KING: One Republican who is staying out of the crowded race for governor of California is former Congressman Michael Huffington. His ex-wife, Arianna, is running as an independent.

Michael Huffington joins us live now from Los Angeles. Sir, thank you for joining us on INSIDE POLITICS. Let me begin with this question. You are backing Arnold Schwarzenegger, not what some might call the established Republican candidate, Bill Simon or Peter Ueberroth getting in. What makes you think Schwarzenegger can win this race?

[PJ-Comix]

HUFFINGTON: Well, I'm going to be very frank with you. Our children didn't want either one of us to run. And frankly, they'd love their mother to reconsider and not run. The day she announced, on Wednesday, the children moved out of her house and came over to mine.

OUCH!

KING: We tried to get comment from your ex-wife. I should make that clear. And she said she would decline to comment on your statement. But you're saying your daughters told her specifically told her, Please, Mom, do not run?

HUFFINGTON: Oh, absolutely, and our oldest daughter has been devastated by it.

OUCH!

KING: Sir, I want to ask you one other question, off the topic of the recall. You are a former Congressman, you also are openly gay....

HUFFINGTON: Let me correct the record, for once. The article is wrong. I'm actually bisexual. I love women. I was madly in love with Arianna when I was married to her. But, yes, I like men also. '

As soon as King mentioned about Huffington being gay, I KNEW that Huffington would object since he claims he is NOT gay but is a homosexual. I guess now he has amended his self-description to "bi-sexual." Come on, Mikey. Just admit it. You're gay, Gay, GAY!!!

The article is wrong. I'm actually bisexual. I love women. I was madly in love with Arianna when I was married to her. But, yes, I like men also.

He likes to double his odds on a slow night...

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Gee, I am so happy Mike is sharing those nasty homosexual diseases with the women.

[daviddennis]

He can obviously function sexually with a woman, in that he was able to have kids with Arianna. More than one, in fact.

I think that makes him bisexual.

I thought the interview was pretty good. I wonder what his kids really are thinking.

[the Deejay]

How old are the Huffington daughters?

[Libertina]

He's surprised his WIFE would be upset he likes men ALSO??? This guy is too dim to leave the house without adult supervision.

"F U L L . . . . . B O D Y . . . . . S H U D D E R"

ROTFL!

[undergroundwarrior]

Another sick bast...

He sounds like a flaming homo to me.

[Dog Gone]

I never could figure out how to bat left-handed at the plate. Switch-hitting is a special talent, I guess.

[muawiyah]

"bisexual" is a cop out. These guys all like to engage in intercourse ~ men, women, whatever. They are just more discrete about some of their targets than others.

[evolved_rage]

Married in 1986, divorced in 1994. So between 9 and 17, but since he's a poof, who knows when he lost interest...

[kezekiel]

Gee, I am so happy Mike is sharing those nasty homosexual diseases with the women.

Which ones are those? I didn't know there were "homosexual" diseases.

Whatever one's moral concerns with homosexuality, the queer-bashing on Free Republic is rank and a disgrace to this board.

[the Deejay]

Thanks. I had it in my mind the daughters were say, under age ten. And then read they left Arianna's house and went over to Michael's house, I thought the daughters were at least 18 or so.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Whatever one's moral concerns with homosexuality, the queer-bashing on Free Republic is rank and a disgrace to this board.

WHy are you upset? Do you guys want to dominate the FR forum too? You folks are sure on a roll this summer!

Swap the position of your hands on the bat, and put your right foot forward. Girls throw like girls because they put the wrong foot forward. Right handed, left foot forward, and swing your arm from behind the trailing shoulder...

Betcha Mikey leads with the wrong foot when he throws...

[jonascord]

Now you got him all hissy. Watch, he's going to cry...

[iconoclast]

I didn't know there were "homosexual" diseases.

You can't be serious.

[Zevonismymuse]

I think that makes him bisexual.

I think that makes him a sexual opportunist.
