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.

Look in the dictionary next to the word expediency and you will see Arianna Huffington's picture.

I know Matt Drudge is losing a lot of sleep worrying about competition from Arianna Nothington ... Not!
Shall we dub this "Dead Air America II" ??

Agreed. A total joke. Why anyone would hitch their wagon to that wannabee is beyond me.

What is a 'radically chic'? I guess if I have to ask, I ain't? LOL.

A feminist with a tatoo of Bill Clinton pushing a reel mower just above her pubic area.

That Arianna just has to beat the gay men off with a stick, doesn't she?

"The Huffington Report is scheduled to launch sometime this month, and will cater to the radically chic."Sounds like a relatively small clientele, made even smaller because I'm not sure they have computers in rehab.

Am I the only one that didn't know that Matt had a partner? I always thought it was a one man operation.

Why anyone would hitch their wagon to that wannabee is beyond me. and listen to that annoying yapyapyap. Stupid is, what stupid does (x2).

"Arianna Huffington Launches Group Blog for Celebrity Leftists"Well that sure explains all the opuses we've had the last few days.
We went through the exact same nonsense just before Trixie launched HER website.
LOL! If anybody want to opus and jump ship to Arianna's, it's fine by me!!!
To: theDentist
As I understand it, the bucks are big at the Drudge Report, as there are only a couple of people on staff, the ad revenues are huge, and bandwidth is not too expensive because they very rarely host any of their own media.
If Breitbart is jumping ship for more money, it would be interesting to know exactly who's footing the bill.
