Arianna Huffington

Generally speaking, however you feel about their ideas, the Left are generally known as pretty good writers, whether they be semantic geniuses like Chomsky or humorists like Hightower. Being Comparative Lit geeks, rather than Economics or Business Majors, they can usually turn a phrase. As cloying as Michael Moore can be, even he can spin a pretty good yarn. I don't know if it's because Huffington is a reformed Conservative or if it's because English is her second language, but she honestly comes off sounding like the Liberal Ann Coulter. I mean, what's with all the superfluous question marks and explanation points???!!!!! Still, for all the "Oh, really?"s and "No shit, Sherlock!"s, she makes a few good points. Bush and his cronies really did lead us into a war based completely on lies and wrecked the economy in the process. Also, while she doesn't shirk from insulting the Right, she doesn't go in for the sort of "let's-fry-them-all-in-hot-oil" type of baiting that Coulter and Co. tend to favor. All-in-all, it's best said that she should leave the writing to her writers at HuffPost, but this was still mildly interesting.… (more)
