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?

AT HOME WITH ARIANNA HUFFINGTON
Honing The Politics Of Surprise
POLITICAL insiders may debate the motivations behind the latest evolutionary twist in the remarkable life of Arianna Huffington, but one thing is certain: Ms. Huffington understands the element of surprise.
She stood by her desk in her elegant, sun-dappled home office on a perfect Southern California morning early this week, talking about her latest and indisputably biggest adventure. Up on a landing a library wall panel swung open, revealing a hidden room. A young woman popped
out, and then a second entered from another part of the house, climbed the spiral staircase and disappeared behind the bookcase.
It's easy for someone who has maids making
her beds to talk about voiceless Americans," said Bob Mulholland, a California Democratic Party official. "Most Americans get a kick out of somebody like her preaching to the rest of us."
Last week, she took a red-eye to New York for a shadow convention planning luncheon, flew to Athens to pick up her two preteenage daughters, rocketed back to Santa Barbara for a weekend drug policy retreat (and her 50th birthday dinner) then back to Los Angeles for
the party she was throwing for Norman Mailer's wife, Norris Church, who was celebrating her first novel, "Windchill Summer" (Random House).
The crowd included Ms. Huffington's extensive supporting cast, including her wardrobe designer and the Los Angeles celebrity chef Hans Rockenwagner, who is doing the food for the shadow convention, Ms. Huffington announced.
The house is a yellow Italianate, built in the 1920's, with four bedrooms, a foyer with an arched Romanesque ceiling, a French garden hidden behind dense foliage and plenty of room to entertain. "I didn't
want anything big and pretentious, you know, some of these big Beverly Hills homes," she said.
The yard, where she stages events for her children's private school, has a pool, a cage with rabbits and a hillside space where her daughters have their vegetable garden.
