This artical actually explains a lot.

Arianna Huffington looks set to cement her position as the Queen of Capitol Hill in the next few days.

The Times has learnt that the Huffington Post, her influential political website, will confirm within the next week that it has completed a $15 million (£10 million) fundraising from investors.

The money will finance the expansion of HuffPo, as it is known, into the provision of local news across the United States and into more investigative journalism. And it will ensure that Ms Huffington’s influence continues to spread across the US political scene.

She is a close friend of Barack Obama, the President-elect – who, with Hillary Clinton, has posted on her site – and, at a dinner in London on Wednesday night, joked: “I only text three people – my two teenage children and Barack Obama.”

Ms Huffington launched HuffPo, which has about 2.5 million bloggers contributing to it regularly, in May 2005 with $2 million of seed capital. She then raised $5 million in August 2006 from venture capital firms including SoftBank Capital and Greycroft Partners, as well as individuals such as Bob Pittman, the former AOL executive. In a second round of fundraising in September 2007, HuffPo raised a further $5 million.

Ms Huffington, 58, the daughter of a Greek newspaperman, has been turning heads ever since she arrived at Cambridge University in the late 1960s. Then called Arianna Stassinopoulos, she became the first foreigner – and only the third woman – to be president of the Cambridge Union debating society. A lengthy affair with the journalist Bernard Levin raised her profile farther. During their eight years together she wrote three bestselling biographies, including works on Pablo Picasso and Maria Callas, before moving to the US in 1980.

There, she met and married Michael Huffington, the oil billionaire, becoming one of Manhattan’s leading socialites and a champion of the Republican revolution led by Newt Gingrich, the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Her marriage ended in 1994.

(Emphasis MINE.. Bushwack)

The launch of HuffPo came after Ms Huffington had spent a decade of campaigning for causes such as opposition to the Iraq War, concluding a remarkable political journey from right to left.

I have been WRONG about Arianna Huffington, I thought she was ALWAYS a liberal bitch, now I find out she is just a jilted revenge filled woman. She should have stayed with Levin, my favorite quote from Bernard Levin:

“Ask a man which way he is going to vote, and he will probably tell you. Ask him, however, why, and vagueness is all.”

That’s the truth now as it was then.

She met a Republican OIL MAN Michael Huffington, Married him, stayed with him for 10 years,  then I would suspect took him for a TON of cash, ran out of money decided to go full tilt LIBTARD as a revenge, It is entirely possible that Arianna Huffington TURNED Micheal Huffington GAY. Just sayin.

IS there anyone in America that sees the meddling in our government by FOREIGN rich liberals dangerous? George Soros is heavily involved in GUN GRABBING, Gay Marriage, Abortion on demand and as birth control, Socialist ideals, and media directing/silencing… Does anyone see this as a problem?

Huffington is just as bad, she has a legion of ASSHOLES, that follow her every word as though they are heaven sent. I have read the LIES the FILTH the COUNTRY HATING rants of that dizzy bitch and as my friend likes to say about stupid women..”There should be a surgery procedure to cut the BITCH right out of her”

IF I offended ANY women reading my site by the use of “Stupid Bitch”, I did not mean to, however; if you feel you are a “stupid bitch” then perhaps you should try to change that…
