Ouch ...

... Michelle Malkin on Ariana Huffington's newest vanity project.

Arianna is very good at what she does, which is to collect people like curios and throw sprawling house parties for them--parties that attract never-ending hordes of looky-loos simultaneously bemused and repulsed by the grand spectacle of obsequiousness and megalomania dressed up as political dialogue. ...

In the blogosphere, looky-loos equal traffic. And Arianna will get it. Despite ourselves. Face it: Many of us will go to the site and crane our necks to see who's making an ass of himself in Huffington's virtual living room, who's passed out in the powder room, who's plotting in the library, and who's kissy-kissing in the foyer. Much of the time it will be stultifyingly boring, but some of us will keep going back in hopes that we'll get to see Walter Cronkite trip or Ellen DeGeneres belch or Maggie Gyllenhall start dancing on the blog table in a drunken stupor.

The blog equivalent of the 70's Studio 54.

Heh.

- Early on when I was first intro'ed to blog sites, it happened to be at a time when the Cal gov. thing was in full swing. I use to visit her so-called blog from time to time, mainly to see which party she was throwing a party for that week....She has, hands down, some of the most brain-dead, HitlerBush spouting moonbats on the planet commenting in there, and of course they hate everyone and everything. All you have to do is drop one conservative "truth" bomb and it touches off a furious frenzy of frenetic fantisizing, and mindless personal attacks, accusing you of everything from single handedly destroying the environment to raping their sisters. It must be sheer hell living with that sort of self-imposed angst every day. The topper is that she hires student journalist majors to write the crap that spews out on her blogsite. But she'll sell her soul for the adulation, no matter how pointless and mis-guided. She provided an endless source of humorous material during the Govenors race, from waiting 4 hlours till Arnold's afternoon press conference one day so she could waltz out in her CFM Bill Blass slut-dress and stelletto's, to the exit of her three kids to go live with their Dad the same day she threw her girdle in the ring.....Shes a trip....
