Am I reading this right? Arianna Huffington (per newsmeat)
has donated 100% Republican?
Surely this can't be right.

1. Look at the dates.
'90-'93, nothing since.

3. Those are from the 1990s, when she was married to Michael Huffington.
And he was a Reublican politician. Ariana is a convert to the good side. :)

4. Absolutely correct but look at the time period
Early 90's. Somehow she had an epiphany.

11. story re: "epiphany" which I heard...
Was that Ariana really believed all the
RW stuff about how
"Goverment shouldn't fund charity, private citizens will do it better"

But when her UbërWealthy friends rebuffed all her attempts
to support charitable causes, she began to catch on that they
were LIARS.

7. Look at the dates. She didn't cross over from the dark side until...
... sometime after the 2000 election.

13. Yes, but that $5,500 was just to get into the fundraiser with Mary Carey.
It was a bargain considering the publicity it got them!
