Arianna Huffington: Feckless, Not Fearless

Definition of Feckless:
1. Weak or ineffective
2. Worthless or irresponsible

Of all the moonbat liberals out there who are spewing misrepresentations and falsehood, there are none I find more reprehensible (or annoying) than Arianna Huffington.

Huffington began her career in political punditry as a conservative. She was a darned good one, and that's when she really was "fearless" (the title of her book is "On Becoming Fearless," but I decided to edit it to something more appropriate for her).

Arianna often debated liberals on television talk shows where she went head to head with opponents like the leftist lawyer Gloria Allred (appropriately named I must say). Arianna kicked Allred's butt in a discussion of Allred's suit against the Boyscouts of America on behalf of a girl who wanted to join.

Sometime after her divorce to Michael Huffington, Arianna suddenly switched sides politically. Seemingly overnight she became a rabid liberal, with all the denunciations, half-truths, spite and anger of most other moonbats. What happened? Did she lose her prescription for thorazine? Or was it some strange mental reaction to her husband declaring his homosexuality and moving for divorce? Ex-hubby Michael may have gone gay, but he was also a conservative and a Republican. What better way to spite him than becoming a rancorous liberal?

I suspect that her move to the left was a business decision. She couldn't really compete with the Rush Limbaughs and Bill O'Reillys of the world, so she decided to be a big fish in a smaller pond, that of liberalism. There were fewer leftwing pundits and none who were particularly noteworthy. Besides, weren't all the Hollywood celebrities, both actors and directors, liberals? Yes, by becoming an outspoken liberal, Arianna could join the A-List of Hollywood parties and functions.
...
To me, Arianna is a sell-out, not someone of principles. She is a political whore, peddling the ideology that she thinks will gain her the most money and attention.

Since Arianna converted to liberalism, I no longer see her on talk shows debating anyone on political questions. I think that's by choice. Liberalism is difficult to defend because it rests on so many false premises and wrong assumptions. The formerly fearless Arianna now steers clear of a fight, and for good reason.

Arianna now runs the ultra-liberal "Huffington Post" online. I signed up for it earlier today and refuted some of the liberals on it. Very soon after I noticed I could no longer log on. Liberals just can't take the heat.
