"Back in the wonderful Clinton era, Matt Drudge introduced Andrew Breitbart to Arianna Huffington. At the time, Arianna was a famous conservative pundit. She was also well-known, even by 1994, as a loopy new-ager and cut-throat bitch."
-There is so much Alex Pareeneing going on over here right now.

iKnow!
iLove you almost as hard as iLove Choire.
Also: "Alex Pareeneing" is, like, ovary-popping busting levels of adorable.
So mathnet, wanna go out for limeades and Dippin' Dots this weekend?
The same Arianna Huffington who had to basically plagiarize a book about one of the most famous, written about, and documented artists of the 20th Century?
I worked at a TV station in California many moons ago. Our owner was a rich guy who pretty much did whatever he wanted...often, very successfully.
One day he came into my office with the news director. They said they wanted me to be in charge of the station's political coverage that year and we were going to have to new commentators.
Willie Brown and Arianna Huffington.
(I think Arianna was still conservative at that point).
Anyway, neither of them had done any commentating.
I thought it would be OK, because both had big personalities and knew their polics.
I was so, so wrong.
Turns out, nobody could understand a word Arianna was saying...and just as bad, we found out (too late) that Willie was basically legally blind.
He couldn't read the teleprompter, forgot his glasses and just basically fumbled around aimlessly, while Arianna babbled incoherently.
Fucking disaster.
The anchors took over and the ND and I went out and got drunk.
(still killed everyone in the ratings,probably because it was such a trainwreck).
You just made my day.
So is the fact that Drudge also has a Cat cat ironic or scary coincidence?
it is my FAVORITE PART
can we all agree TO NEVER DISCUSS IT AGAIN EVER???
They must both be Breakfast at Tiffany's fans.
OMG, Choire and Drudge are SECRET ROOMMATES!
Now that would be a Reality TV show worth watching.
"Snarky Brother"
Just like the Odd Couple...with Choire always sitting on Drudge's snappy chapeau and Drudge always trying to dress Choire's cat in a frilly French Maid costume.
At least, that's the way I'd pitch the show.
