First, let me congratulate Arianna Huffington on selling The Huffington Post to AOL for a reported $315 million. Isn't America a great place? Arianna came up with a great business model. Create a place where liberals could tell each other how smart they were, where they could write blog posts without being paid, and where they could create a community of commenters who routinely attacked the evil Republicans...and then sell out for mucho dinero.
It always amazed me that HuffPo bloggers (not the handful of well paid staffers, but the great unwashed) thought they were so special by being allowed to blog at HuffPo, when in fact they were being treated as unindentured servants. They were able leave, but they were working for free to help Arianna build a business.
Who knew that the website devoted to a living wage and moral imperatives actually manged to get liberal bloggers to work for free to make money for the boss-lady and her investment banking investors.
There's a sucker born every minute....
Well, on the rich side, if she's made a habit of convincing other people to work for free, that could go a long way to explaining it.
You think she'll become muslim? Wear a burkha on TV?
The best take on this ever, far better than any MSM media story.
Good animation and accurate reporting. How refreshing!
Ariana Huffington = female George Soros
The spooky dudette!
The fudgepacker husband was loaded, as in high-society rubbing elbows with the Bushes and Gettys, a former congressman, senator and Reagan admin official.
Now they know what socialist foot soldiers everywhere and always feel like when the bosses climb their backs to victory. But it won’t open their eyes. They’ll continue to believe in their abusive irrational dream.
Don't be silly. It isn't about the money. She wants to feed poor and shelter the homeless (and pay off foreclosures for the masses) /s
Sure she will. When pigs fly!
Also commonly seen:
Greedy libtards who denounce others for being greedy.
Intolerant libtards who denounce others for being intolerant.
Libtards full of hate who denounce others for being hateful.
I always suspected she was just “an act”. Her transformation from Republican pundit to liberal wench was go complete that it almost seemed like an entirely new person.
It lead me to conclude that one of the following was happening:
1. Still at her core a Republican, recognizing that Libs were desperate for their own “Limbaugh” (and that she would never compete for market share with conservatives), she built this alter-ego to get rich;
2. Or perhaps she never had any true convictions and she will fade whichever way the political winds blow. It was expedient to be conservative when her “husband” was in Congress. Much like #1, it was expedient to “switch” sides once it suited her financial and personal goals. If she could get away with a switch back to the conservative side she would do so if it had a large enough payday.
3. She really was a conservative, was in a horrible unreported accident and a piece of steel pipe shot through her skull thus altering her personality.
The pipe through the head might have been forgivable...the others suggest an opportunistic wench.
As much as I wanted #3 to be true...I’m guessing #2.
Or, as I like to say, when monkeys fly ouy of my butt.

If she walks her talk , she will divide the money amongst her registered members.
Ms Huffington used to be a Conservative, but changed to a raving lunatic liberal, it seems literally overnight.
She sold out the Conservatives, now she is selling out the liberals...hey whats the problem?...all's fair in love and war, is it not?
Maybe she is just looking out for #1?...maybe she has a lot of mouths to feed.....or maybe she is just an opportunist business mogul....or maybe just a greedy bitch.
..who knows what lurks in her mind?
