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.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.
`There's a lot of rumors out there that I cannot confirm or deny,' Mr. Breitbart said yesterday."
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.
was married to a gay US House member?
No, they don't.
Whatever... I've debated them too many times over the years to accept your assessment.

And he has guts. He hasn't backed down from anybody.
Do you know who writes Gawker and Defamer? Wonkette is in their little media group, too.
I can't tell why, but something doesn't seem right. If Andrew was stabbing Matt in the back, he'd have been really livid last night. I can't imagine he didn't know about this little detail, so what gives?

She has the Dick Morris problem. When you live in the middle and play both sides against the other, as soon as they find out, neither will trust you.
Maybe he knew about but just isn't that upset. If a friend of mine got an offer I couldn't match, I say God bless you go for it.
Could be. Or maybe he's willing to pass the torch. It's got to be tough doing this thing he does every day for years on end.
It's just.....Arianna......uch. Slate-style blogging from Jon Corzine and Tina Brown? puhleeze. That chick has her own TV show already, what more does she want?
LOL Somebody to pay attention.
airiana likes gay men.
What FReepers left?

Well Matt was digging on Arianna last night.
But he never mentioned Andrew and the Arianna stuff seemed more bemused than angry. I don't know. I'd be really ticked off.
