Question: Who can tell me about why/how A. Huffington changed?

Does anyone have any links or other information on what got her to change from a conservative to being so anti-bush?

2. Scuttlebut from LA

was that the friendship she developed with Al Franken and Bill Maher brought her around. She became increasingly more passionate about the environment where she bumped into Teresa Heinz. John Kerry contributed a note on her bookjacket.

3. Her book "How to OVerthrow the gov't" goes into great detail

She paid for standing up for her principles by being snubbed and alienated by those on the right who were once her friends BTW. She explains in great detail the manner in which she felt duped by GIngrich's ilk.

5. Her divorce from a RW GOP'er probably contributed as well.

6. I welcomed her change

Arianna Huffington is quite intelligent and I'm happy she woke up and moved over to our side. I'm also so happy that Ann Coulter who is a complete idiot is still writing drivel for the other side.

Arianna = good writer, brilliant analyst.
Coulter = shill puppet for BFEE, idiot, racist and ugly American

7. Even when Arianna was a RW

She didn't write with the venom of Coulter, which is why she's redeemable and Coulter isn't.
