From Variety:
In a move unlikely only because it’s taken this long to happen, pundit-about-town Arianna Huffington is extending her hosting largess to the blogosphere.
This month the wannabe California governor is launching a Slate-like Web site where a cast of bigwigs, including Sen. Jon Corzine (D-N.J.), David Geffen, Barry Diller, Larry David, Tom Freston, Ari Emanuel, Jim Wiatt, Tina Brown and Harold Evans will each have their own blog from which to spout Big Thoughts about politics.
Huffington wouldn’t comment, but it was confirmed that a soft-launch of the Huffington Report would be up and running before the end of April.
Reached for comment, former SNL bit player and Air America “star” Al Franken congratulated Ms. Huffington on her new venture, then hit me up for some pocket change and the rest of my Harvest Peach yogurt.
(via Drudge)
Al Franken didnt star in ‘Air America’.. The stars were Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. Assuming that Al Franken could fly an airplane, he could never have passed the rigorous Agency background security check.. being that he’s a stinking militant, far left, liberal, communist, America-hating American and all… which in a way is too bad.. It would have been kinda fitting if he had gone down at the Bay of Pigs.. maybe with Michael Moore as his wing man..
Is it possible Ariana’s 15 minutes of fame will soon be over? Her notoriety is due to a marriage to California political candidate Michael Huffington over a decade ago–and she has a big mouth.
And don’t you just love the line-up of Hollywood hot shots. Shy and retiring types, they are–never get enough of them shouting their political views from the ramparts–never tire of hearing from them either…
Drudge eats Harvest Peach yougurt??
EXCLUSIVE—CHERRY IS EVEN BETTER! DEVELOPING HARD…
Listen closely. What’s that noise? The faint rumblings of a million fiskings just over the horizon? Yes, I think that’s it.
Feh. Bunch of industry execs spouting off about politics. I much prefer my unreasoned and insane political insight from musicians. Springsteen, Timberlake, Moby, and 50 Cent speak far more eloquently about the privations of modern American life and the need for more effective wealth-transfer systems.
Extreme socialist dogmatic tripe from ultra-high-visibility capitalists is vastly superior. Really!
Bill Maher-total dick. Comedian Al Franken-NEVER funny until he went political. But, don’t take Ariana lightly, she is nothing if not persuasive. Didn’t she convince her husband that sex with another man was better than sex with her?
Heh, I dated one of Bill Maher’s ex-girlfriends a couple years back. Hot, but bitchy. She had some very funny Bill stories though.
I’m trying to think of what you get if you cross Arianna Huffington with Ana Nicole Smith.
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Arianna fancies herself a populist, but she really is like Eva Gabor in Green Acres mixing with the little people. Her gubernatorial race had all the credibility of Lenora Fulani
Or Imelda Marcos. A little detective work would likely reveal a similar closet full of shoes, too.
Huffington Report? Well, that’s fucking original.
I absolutely can not wait to see the comments!
spam word: stooge
If I was anyone involved with this “project”, I’d make sure I was paid up front.
An Ana Nicole Smith political blog – now that would be cool.
