From her weird alliance with the Canadian left in attacking Conrad Black (from whom she was glad to accept pay cheques for several years) to her cheering of the Quebec Court of Appeal's decision in the BCE case, Diane Francis has shown some odd inclinations of late.
Now, however, we have confirmation that she has truly lost it:
Forget Hillary and the others who have made Obama's short-list of running mate possibilities. If he decides a female will help enhance his electoral hopes then Arianna Huffington should be high on the list, if not at the top.
The key to understanding why she would be promoting Huffington is unveiled about halfway down:
Her online publication, estimated to be worth US$200 million in just a handful of years, has more readers than do all of America's major newspapers combined. It's unique because the site carries news but also blogs written by A-listers that she invites to contribute who are drawn from Hollywood, politics and journalism. I blog for HP. (My emphasis.)
That last bit really says it all.
UPDATE: Must give credit here, though. She's bang on about North American auto unions.
