Arianna Huffington has become a spokeswoman for the watermelon movement. Like a watermelon that is green on the outside and red on the inside, Mrs. Huffington's recent attack on the manufacture and use of large SUVs has adopted the "green" rhetoric of environmentalism along with the philosophy of coercive utopianism that is the hallmark of "red" socialism.

I think this created a backlash, enormously stupid criticism considering there are gas stations that don't get their gas from the mid-east. Why not encourage people to buy from these stations? That would've been the American thing to do.

You mean this Eurotrash social climbing import is no longer the darling of the "conservative" elites? tsk tsk.

[onedoug]

How come she's still using that...man's last name?

Arianna Huffington is explained on ReasonOnline's "Who Am I?". ;)

[Paleo Conservative]

Mrs. Huffington claims that those who drive SUVs are aiding terrorists because SUVs use more oil-based fuel and oil money inevitably ends up in the hands of international terrorists. This is an insult to every American family in Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska, and other oil-producing states. Terrorists? Hardly.

Especially considering the source of her personal wealth is her ex-husband's oil and gas holdings.

Chairman & General Counsel of Home School Legal Defense Association, which he founded in 1983, Michael Farris is a constitutional lawyer, one of the leading pro-family activists on Capitol Hill, author, ordained minister, and father of ten. He is also President and Professor of Government at Patrick Henry College. Mike was an honors graduate of Gonzaga University School of Law where he was the Articles Editor of the Law Review. His cases include over forty reported decisions as lead counsel in courts across the nation including the United States Supreme Court, five U.S. circuit courts of appeal, seven state supreme courts, and five state courts of appeal. He argued and won a landmark religious freedom case in the United State Supreme Court, Witters Dept. of Services for the Blind (1986). Education Week named Mike one of the most significant 100 "Faces of the Century" in Education. He is listed in the daily prayer guide called "Praying for the World's 365 Most Influential People."

He also serves on the Board of Directors of Christian Freedom International, and was recently appointed by the Governor of Virginia to serve on the Board of Visitors for Mount Vernon (the home of George Washington). And most importantly, together with Vickie, his wife of thirty years, Mike has ten home-schooled children and three grandchildren.

She was never a conservative. I think her ex husband Mike was simply a front for Arianna's political ambitions and when he couldn't buy his way into the U.S Senate, they had a parting of the ways and she kept his name. The funny thing is given her ultra-liberal politics, she'd make a great replacement for Barbara Boxer. Maybe the California Democrats can run her in 2004 on that vicious anti-SUV platform. Let's see then how far she goes.
