 ARIENRON! (Arianna Huffington Pays Virtually No Federal or State Taxes)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Arianna seems to think there’s another kind of anger out there – people who are angry because they want more government programs, more regulation, more bureaucracies, and they’d be prepared to pay higher taxes for these blessings.
Arianna is a loon and a hypocrite, but even so this argument is the same populist/socialist nonsense thrown up at every wealthy republican who seeks office.
I dislike Huffington's politics, social commentary, and economics on the face of the arguments she states, not on her ledger.

 Amazon.ca: How to Overthrow the Government: Books: Arianna Huffington   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Huffington has put together an impressive list of political wrongs, her collection of "success stories" is rather modest (not sure if that is the product of poor research or poor activism).
In her great tongue-in-cheek and slightly sarcastic style, Huffington shows the ineffectiveness of the system, as career politicians on both sides are enslaved to corporate contributions, opinion polls that only ask inane lowest-common-denominator questions, and a lapdog media that convinces people that "character' (actually reputation and personal rumors) is more important than leadership skills.
Arianna is barely a neoconservative,...She is on the centrist fringe, tolerant of a lukewarm welfare state.

 Random House Academic Resources | Pigs at the Trough by Arianna Huffington
Provocative political commentator Arianna Huffington "yanks back the curtain" on the unholy alliance of CEOs, politicians, lobbyists, and Wall Street bankers who have shown a brutal disregard for those in the office cubicles and on the factory floors.
Yet, as Huffington argues, it has been--allowing corporate crooks to bilk the public out of trillions of dollars, magically making pensions and 401(k)s disappear and walking away with astronomical payouts and absurdly lavish perks-for-life.
They are, as Huffington illustrates, manifestations of a megatrend in corporate leadership—the rise of a callous and avaricious mind-set that is wildly out of whack with the core values of the average American.

 OpinionJournal - Extra
Even in their allegedly sinister heyday, Michael and Arianna Huffington seemed less suited to play Macbeth and Lady M than "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"in dinner theatre at Coconut Grove.
Arianna's marketing honchos had printed up mock stanchions for the "delegates" to stand behind on the convention "floor." They indicated not one's state but one's state of mind: "DISILLUSIONED," "DISRESPECTED," "DISENFRANCHIZED," "2POOR4ACCESS." But evidently the DISENFRANCHIZED were too DISILLUSIONED to show up.
Despite her "moving words about her political transformation," it makes most sense in terms of pandering to her own "special interest" group--the Hollywood set and late-night comedy shows for whom the price tag of environmental posturing is too vulgar to be of concern.
