But in the late 1990s, Huffington began to reinvent herself. She covered the '96 political conventions for Comedy Central with Al Franken. She broke with Gingrich. She disparaged Bob Dole. She promoted Warren Beatty for president. She published a book favoring campaign finance reform. In 2000, she hosted a "shadow convention" protesting both parties.

I used to think that Arianna was just someone who really craved celebrity. Now, I'm convinced she has no core beliefs. In fact, she's only in it for the money. Ideology for sale.

Not mutually exclusive ... indeed, one expects those things to go together.

I think it helps, too, that she's batsh!t crazy.

I never understood how one man could look at another man's hairy - pimply backside and think; “MMM mmm mmm”, till I heard her voice.

I believe that almost all pundits are that way. Many of our Conservative "friends" in the media don't care about us at all.

I trust no one.

Milbank writes about Ariana Huffington but you know he craves Palin. His self-imposed Palin blackout for February has to have him itchin’, twitchin’ and doolin’. PDS stage IV.

She married a bi-sexual rich guy, Michael Huffington (natural gas exploration).

She always follows the money.

I was watching a program on the early career of Hitler the other night on the History or Military channel. Historians have never been able to definitively pinpoint when Hitler began to hate Jews. One suggestion was that he merely saw that Jew hatred and his identification with it stood him in good stead in Munich where anti-Jew sentiment was high. He may have simply adopted Jew hatred as a means to political popularity.

I don't think James Carville has any core beliefs, either. I think that is why he and Mary Matalin stay together. The two of them know he is paid well to be a hired gun for the left, so they take the money and run.

Like Michael Moore. Talking the liberal crap and living like a capitalist baron. I'll bet he doesn't believe any of his own BS either. I don't buy his ballcap clown outfit for a second.

I do like that all those earnist leftists blogged for free for years and Arianna walks away with millions. How much content did she actually produce, I wonder?

I just looked at the Huffington Post for the first time ever.

All I can say is that if the Huffington Post is worth $315,000,000 then Free Republic must be worth at least half that.

Ed Rollins ran Michael Harrington’s 1994 Senate campaign. In his autobiography he calls her the worst human being he ever met in his life.

Personally I don’t hold it against anyone to make a profit so good for her.

I rightly or wrongly always thought she was a gold digger type but aside from that I give her props for selling.

Who really knows the full story maybe there’s medical issues none of us are aware of...so what.

I’m glad those lefties have a site of their own ...makes it easier for me to find out what going on in the enemy camp...big deal, many of them probably think the same about FR.

For a guy that use to spend his spare time in library’s back in the day I just love the www and all that it offers us. Today is a great time to be alive.

God bless America and death to all her enemies.
