Arrianna Huffington is completely out of her depth on ThisWeek
Edited on Sun Apr-05-09 10:49 AM by Uzybone
she is a passable pundit on more lightweight shows like Larry King and Bill Maher, but she looks like a dumbass on Stephanopoulous' panel. She is not assertive enough and is letting idiots like the perpetually smug George Will and idiotic David Frum spin and lie in her face.

1. She's not a soundbite sniper
It's not her style at all. Plus it's tough to deal with people who are willing to distort and say anything. Her accent and more laidback style doesn't help her much here either.

2. I like her, but her heavily accented English allows others to
roll over her from time to time. She has to speak more slowly and precisely, so RWers can really spin a lot of lies in the same time when they interrupt her.

9. Blogs still don't reach as many folks as television does
I fear the damage has been done. And don't get me started on David Frum - we had to turn off Bill Maher on Friday night because we got sick of that jackass.

10. Her blog has become the blog of reference
I've heard it mentioned quite a few times lately in the MSM regarding p;olitical articles and writers . Lawrence O'Donnell is always introduced as a blogger on The Huffington Post. Give it time.

7. That's not my impression of her at all
During the debates with Arnold she really stuck it to him.

8. stepanaplis and gibson are tools!
I wouldn't be surprised if steponaplis supplied the questions to will before hand and has been rehearsing all week, so Arrianna doesn't stand a chance,stepanaplis wouldn't make a pimple on Bill Mahers ar$e! Why are you watching that crud for anyway,do something important,like sleeping in!
