Did Arianna Huffington defend Romney on Bin Laden issue?

The ad and its undertones drew tough criticism on Monday. As the Huffington Post's founderArianna Huffington said on CBS "This Morning" : "There is no way to know whether Romney would've been as decisive. And to actually speculate that he wouldn't be is, to me, not the way to run campaigns on either side."

that aggregate current news stories well... I suppose DailyBeat is ok on occasion, Salon, maybe Slate, but to be honest I just can't get excited about any of these.

HuffPO is popular only because it is a comprehensive aggregator and easily navigated. Period. But, AH is an absolute asshole IMO. Totally exploitative and while she professes to hold progressive opinions and even seemingly DOES on occasion, everything about her screams 1% and her RETHUG roots.

She always has been. I knew her in California. She was a Republican then, and she's a Republican now. Nothing has changed, except that she's willing to make her money wherever she can.
