We’ll put this nicely since we don’t wish to become victims of Gawker-style HuffPo blogroll revenge: GIVE THE POOR DUO A CHANCE, FAIREST ARIANNA! She writes in this column of hers, “It’s a Nora Ephron romantic comedy. When Hillary Met Barack. Sleepless in Chappaqua. You’ve Got Fundraising Email. Two intensely driven politicians cross paths, each seeking the highest office in the land — talk about a cute meet!” Just… gahh… hmm… we see the writerly device here and it’s trite vapid plagiarism of Maureen Dowd not very edifying. Look. This selection process has been the most drama-free thing a Clinton has ever done. Celebrate! [HuffPo]
yeah, but, foreign policy is the thing that obama and clinton disagreed the most about in the debates. i think it was a bad call, personally
Look at what Maureen Dowd hath wrought! Her influence is spreading. Infecting various “writers” throughout the interwebs! She must be stopped! Her idiocy must be tamed!
There, I think that was exclamatory enough.
Kinda looks like Maureen Dowd in that picture. If you squint. And hate your erection.
Obama drama? Yo mama.
Isn’t there supposed to be a heart symbol and a Mexican hat and a number in those equations?
Huffington + Schwarzenegger = Vienna Sausage
Given a choice between MoDo and Ariana, I guess I like my cougars to come with some ziziki sauce.
A friend of mine suggested that Barry and Sarah Palin should release a sex video on the Internet. I thought it was a good idea but now that the Hillz is going to be Secretary of the Diplomacy, I think it would be better if she and Barry turn on the video camera while going at it.
Isn’t she, like, European or something?
Bet she likes soccer…
PoliticalGraffiti: Yeah, like Condi Rice has had any actual influence over foreign policy decisions. Hillz will float around the globe for photo ops, repeating the Hopey mantra. And if not, a little dissent is a good thing, isn’t it?
You’d think Ariana would be more revering of Hillary, after all they both achieved their current wealth and status by marrying it.
Add John McCain to that list too.
What? The Huffington-Post is busy manufacturing political rumors now without any real back-up evidence?
Well bye bye Huff-Po. Back to the Weekly Standard for me. At least I KNOW that their doing the same thing.
Unfortunately for all of us, Obama is boring. He isn’t funny, he spends most of his time covering his ass and doing his homework, he loves big words, he avoids conflict…
Thank you, again, Jim Newell.
nora ephron references?
oh damn. the 90’s really are back with barack, aren’t they.
this time around i get to be courtney love, ok?
Huffington should incorporate her sexy accent phonetically when writing. Then I wouldn’t be able to understand her in print, either.
I want a fucking moratorium on the terms “meet cute” and “cute meet” immediately.
I fully expected the post to contain references to Obama/Luke and Clinton/Laura’s mad, desperate search for peace/The Ice Princess.
Since she’s a reg’lar contributor to HuffPo, I’m looking forward to Nora’s “You know nothing of my work” response.
Then again, we may have a new Tina Fey.
Naked Bunny with a Whip: Yes, Arianna and Franken stand on tour-up: should be hilarious for those-our-comrades thinking eg. blaxplitation involves exploitation in the Marxist (instead of military) sense.
obfuscator: Okay on the terms, but no moratorium on fucking, please!
I don’t understand this concept of ‘High Drama’. If anything, the incessant, vapid phraseology I keep hearing most (other than ‘TEAMOFRIVALS’) is ‘No Drama Obama’. Am I to now believe this media meme is now not true and that Obama, in fact, loves drama? Confusion.

@V572625694: But remember, when fucking on Christmas day, make sure you’re thinking about the baby Jesus.
On the plus side, if furners agree to do something JUST SO HILLARY CLINTON WON’T COME TO SEE THEM, it’s all good. Sort of an ill-will ambassador.
Yes, if you insult that bloviating turd Keith Olbermann, those HuffPost commenters will find out where you live.
Oh look math! Everyone wants to be Nate Silver all of a sudden.
howabout a meet-fuck?
I stopped posting on Huffingtonpost when they started pushing articles about fashion, reality tv, brangelina, etc.
It really attracted a dumber crowd and a TON of conservative trolls. In their defense, they did eventually take out a few unsporting trolls when I emailed Arianna to complain about the trolls screwing up every story’s comments page.
magic titty: Yes, a little dissent is definitely a good thing.
I’m sort of sorry to hear vapid plagarizing is out.
But I guess that’s what you get when you vote for
change.
She’s a douche. 5 years ago, she was holding Mcfudd’s hand and gushing(what, I don’t know)now she’s a rabid leftist. Her web site is shit too. So there.
Unique? Antiquated.
Jimminey Crickets, in that split between 19th/20th Century Old World/New World inherited wealth and mores, androgynous chronicler Henry James as our guide?
Your descriptions are lapsed into Edwardianna, held in an old world place not ours. We are now, and have been for some time, in a New World.
