Arianna: The Neo Gray Lady

To think Al Franken once referred to her as "The beautiful but very evil Arianna Huffington"... Is there a better daily publication, on-line or on the newsstands, than The Huffington Post? When it comes to effectively casting grappling hooks in order to haul down the towering but darkly corrupt Gullivers of our time, Huffington goes for the jugular, be it Tim Russert's of Meet The Press or Arthur Sulzberger's and his New York goddamn Times:
It’s pathetic, really. And wildly counterproductive. For far from rallying support for Miller, today’s pitiable plea instead calls attention to how little support for Miller there actually is… even among the Times’ own op-ed columnists. Not one of them has written a single word about their incarcerated colleague during the entire month of August[.]
I'm looking forward to the day when Judy Miller is released from the slammer. I suspect she'll be expecting garlands and cheers, when, out of the sea of microphones and flashing bulbs, someone, not buying into the Joan of Arc routine Miller will inevitably be attempting to project, and ask, "Did you sleep with Ahmad Chalabi?"

"How about Karl Rove?"

"Has your husband returned from La Cote D'Azur yet... ?"

What was that line in RoboCop... ? Ah yes...

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
