Nice company, Arianna. You are the real voice of the true progressives

Look at madam Huffington's circle of friends:

1. Same facial features as President Obama.

Although I don't fall for the CGI as news and internet delusion.

[jenmito]

31. He looks more like Bill Frist to me. n/t

[otohara]

2. Millionaires Club

I laugh when I hear Arianna talk about the disappearing middle-class.

She's always pictured with millionaires.

[baldguy]

3. Oh, yeah. Because he had his pic taken with her, that means he owns her.

[golfguru]

27. Nice pics! who is that guy with Mrs Carter?

4. Impik, who is the guy in the picture? (sorry to be so clueless)

I gotta tell you I have always felt a little wary of Arianna.

5. She used to be very involved in California GOP politics. Was married to a...

...Republicon Congressman. She crossed over from the dark side. Our gain, I think.

If that's Issa in the pic with her, it'd only make sense that she knows him. California GOP politics.

:shrug:

NGU.

9. Yes I remember her Republican years well, as a Clinton-attacker on the Geraldo show.

At that time , to me she seemed to be the second string member of the Ann Coulter and Barbara Olsen "rabid blonds" attack force.

My uncharitable tin-hat theory is that at some point she decided the vengeful right-wing women field was too crowded and she needed to relaunch herself into another less crowded arena.

I am embarrassed to write this, as I do believe in redemption and changes of heart.

[SunsetDreams]

10. Yes I remember those years as well

I believe in redemption too, but in this case I am just not so sure.

[ClassWarrior]

11. Who knows? It appears sincere to me. Certainly she's done more good...

...for the progressive movement than bad, even if it is a schtick. :shrug:

One of my first memories of her was in bed with Al Franken on Politically Incorrect:



NGU.

[emulatorloo]

13. adorable. Thanks for the picture.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Looks like Issa to me. n/t

[flpoljunkie]

24. It is Darrell Issa who has his arm around Arianna.

[polmaven]

14. Why THAT,

is none other than Daryll Issa.

[emulatorloo]

15. Thanks. I guess she beleives the hype that "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas"

[Armstead]

6. Yes she is evil because she dares to criticize Obama

I suppose if she just stuck to being a cheerleader nOne of this would matter.

[dionysus]

7. she's barave, and a hero...

:rofl:

[SunsetDreams]

8. Fearless!

I adore her!

:rofl:

[emulatorloo]

12. Like the goddess Athena, guiding Perseus in his quest to behead Medusa!

[Armstead]

18. Not saying she is perfect...

But she could have chosen to be a down the line Obama cheerleader and a progressive, and had an easier time of it.

[krawhitham]

19. She is Evil because her criticism is mostly just BS misleading headlines

She puts whatever crap for a head line that she thinks will get the most clicks, 90% of the time the article at no points makes the statement or conclusion she used for the headline (when I say she I mean her Huffpo staff that have been told what to do by her)





She is a galore whore, anything for publicity, she is always trying to inject herself into the news cycle. She need to report news not try and become news

[NaturalHigh]

17. I think Arianna is the voice of Arianna.

Frankly, I think if she could get more attention by veering to the right of Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, she would gladly take that route.

[FrenchieCat]

20. She works on the same results as they do, just from the other end.

at the end, the consequences will be the same; to attempt and boost a Republican candidate in '12, by the simple act of holding Obama to an impossible standard, and criticizing every move he makes in the meantime as he makes it, and even before he makes it. She reminds me of a pedestrian that causes two cars to collide into each other while avoiding her as she jaywalks against a red light.
She then continue on her walk unscathed, without stopping to review the carnage she caused and leaves behind.

[CitizenLeft]

25. well said.

I'm sorry to say, I have never trusted her 180-degree turn-around. This is in stark contrast to David Brock's 180-degree turnaround, for which there is at least a reason (homophobia slapped him hard when he came out, and the right snubbed him). And, so far, David Brock has shown no evidence of it having been a superficial conversion.

[Jakes Progress]

21. OMG. Why I saw a picture of Obama with Putin. Does that mean

our president is an agent of the KGB. There are even rumors of him being in a picture with boehner. I guess that makes it positive proof that he's a closet republican.

Golly. Thanks for this carefully thought out OP.

[Safetykitten]

22. I think she is fabulous.

26. Arianna has one purpose and one purpose only...

and that is to drive traffic to her website. Controversy and pseudo-medical woo seem to be ways of successfully doing that.

29. Bingo.

:thumbsup:

[emilyg]

30. Correct.

[Uzybone]

32. spot on
