Drudge Team May Break Up

Andrew Breitbart – long the number two man at the Drudge Report – is rumored to be working behind the scenes with Arianna Huffington's new Webzine, the Huffington Report, according to Washington Times "Inside the Beltway" columnist John McCaslin.

The Huffington Report is scheduled to launch sometime this month, and will cater to the radically chic. Its liveliest feature promises to be a group blog where movie stars, New York media mavens, Hollywood film moguls and other wealthy proponents of class struggle and proletarian solidarity can sound off on politics (see "Arianna Huffington Launches Group Blog for Celebrity Leftists"). In the Washington Times of March 31, John McCaslin writes:

"It might have conservative-turned-liberal pundit Arianna Huffington's name attached to it, but we're told that Matt Drudge sidekick and story contributor Andrew Breitbart is the brains behind the soon-to-start blog, Huffington Report.

`There's a lot of rumors out there that I cannot confirm or deny,' Mr. Breitbart said yesterday."

That's what we call a non-denial denial in the news business. If indeed Breitbart is slated to edit the Huntington Report, it seems unlikely that he will stay with Drudge.

Since 1999, Breitbart has worked fulltime for the Drudge Report, in a capacity that is probably more accurately described as co-editor than mere "sidekick and story contributor." His departure would certainly be a blow to the Drudge Report.

Breitbart and investigative reporter Mark Ebner co-wrote the Tinseltown exposé Hollywood Interrupted, published last year by John Wiley & Sons.

Hmmm, I detected a bit of sarcasm in his voice when he mentioned Huffington but the mere mention of her name elicits the same reaction from me. His website is quite popular and I suspect he'll have little problems hiring someone else.

Yippy skippy.

Now that is perfect.

They should call it Fag-hag for the limp-lib

He is going from Drudge to Arianna? Ugh.

I thought she was a lightweight even as a conservative. Now she is a lighweight and stupid. She is nothing more than a rich woman with too much time on her hands and a rabid desire to be in the limelight. I love when she is on Hannity because he makes her look like an idiot the first time she opens her mouth.

Arianna is a TENTACLE from Hillary-Medusa's
plot to revive the players from the Third-Party
revolution, she and Bill enlisted in 92 & 96.

Beware Medusa.

Beware Hillary.
