ARIANNA Huffington is suffering some backlash for her anti-SUV campaign. This week, the syndicated columnist was booted off the Oregonian

[finnman69]

bump for the SUV hypocrite

[EggsAckley]

Hey Arianna, I'm buyin' and SUV next week! I think I'll name it after you.

[EggsAckley]

oops. and = an

[Argus]

I'm damned if I'll let this idiot Gabor sister, who flies on a private jet everytime she wants to go someplace, tell me what to drive.

[Inspectorette]

This is the intellectual giant who thought that Warren Beatty should run for President in 2000. This silly little dilettante and her buddy Norman Lear, who has a 21-car garage, can’t resist telling the rest of us peasants how to live and what to drive. Arianna’s private-jet lifestyle and the drivel that comes out of her mouth burn more gas than an entire fleet of Cadillac Escalades.

Poor little rich ZsaZsa, er, Arianna - has she ever had an original thought in her head?

[Mark]

Others agree with you. I posted "Americans 'Keep on Truckin' in Their SUVs" a short time ago.

[JAWs]

I view this with mixed emotions. While I enjoy her comeuppance, I wonder if they'd ever be so swift to censor someone who has never been regarded as a conservative. She may not have ever been a real conservative, but she pretended to be one...

[paltz]

She was Republican when it was convenient for her. Reagan mad e being a Republican fun during the 80's and all the glamour that came along with it appealed to a snob like Arianna. However, during the 90's, when it was no fun to be a conservative, she found no more Hollywood party invites in her mailbox. SO she turned on us.

[Phantom Lord]

Be the hypocrite conservative or liberal they will get bashed for their hypocracy. Just as when Barbara Streisand sent out her list of suggestions for Californians to save electricty during the black outs last year. She sent out her suggestions and her spokesman was contacted to ask if Barbara was doing these things herself. He said no. A big backlash ensued.

"I'm damned if I'll let this idiot Gabor sister, who flies on a private jet everytime she wants to go someplace, tell me what to drive."

. . .agree - except she is Greek - THAT said; does anyone have a picture of her house. . .swimming pool?

How many BTU's does she waste on her life style?

[Illbay]

"Clearly this has more to do with pleasing their advertisers,..."

Oh, my, NOOO!!!

Why, we CAN'T have ADVERTISERS dictating policy, now CAN WE?!?!? The entire FIRST AMENDMENT is in danger, then!

They should just pay their money and shut up!

Oh, what's that you say? They didn't tell them what to do, they just told them they'd take their business elsewhere? Never mind.

[Doug Loss]

I sold my SUV. It got too good gas mileage. I'm getting one of these instead!

[Dick Bachert]

“…AS THE SMALL WHEELS TURN…”

“…IN A YUGO.”

[EggsAckley]

SOOOOO funny!

[Inspectorette]

As Watergate taught us, when in doubt follow the money."

Yes, Arianna, dear, let's follow the money. Where does the money come from that's supporting your lavish, Dynasty lifestyle, hmmmmm???

Let's see: could it possibly be from your divorce settlement from OIL TYCOON Michael Huffington?

>Hey Arianna, I'm buyin' and SUV next week!

About the same cash
will get you two or three of
these little babies...

[EggsAckley]

LOL! I COULD use one of those.

The SUV I'm looking at isn't all that pricey. It's a Pontiac Aztec AWD, and I can get it "loaded" for under $25K.

[woofie]

Is that one of them John Denver things?

[Petronski]

Oh God, not the Aztec! Them things is ugly.
