Steyn on Arianna

Steyn on Arianna - Via Instapundit, here's Steyn in the WSJ, in a (per usual) sidesplitting critique of the Huffington campaign:

"If I had a pair o' dime for every time she's disdained the old paradigm, I'd be rich enough to run for governor, too.

Instead it's Arianna who's standing up and fighting for the little man. He lives at Apartment D, 47 Elm Street. But other little men are bound to be joining the campaign any day now, just you wait, and, even if they don't, there's always Warren Beatty. Arianna is taking us beyond the old left/right, rich/poor, hugely popular/massively obscure paradigms to forge a top-down grassroots movement tapping into a vast dried-up reservoir of inactive activists giving voice to millions who feel disenfranchised--so totally disenfranchised they don't even show up in polling surveys, which is why her numbers are down around 4% with Larry Flynt. Following the success of her hybrid car, she's now experimenting with a bandwagon that runs on nothing"

Not that different from the post-Ventura Minnesota Independence Party...
