The California recall election is sliding rapidly from sublime to ridiculous. No sooner had Michael Huffington, the "recently gay" (think Buffy's Willow) multimillionaire and former GOP Congressman, filed to run for governor than his ex-wife, socialite-turned-pundit Ariana Huffington, announced her bid as an independant candidate. Coyly refusing to comment on the brewing internecine struggle, Ariana declared, "I don't have anything to say about any candidate in the race -- whether I was once married to him or not."
Ariana is reportedly meeting with Green Party representatives to consolidate support behind a single independant candidate. She says she will "take the next week to meet with a lot of the activists, the environmentalists . . . and make a decision." Didn't this woman reportedly send boxes and boxes of little Evian bottles to firefighters who complained of a drinking water shortage during the state's forest fire crisis?
As if the foregoing were not entertainment enough for one race, Gary Condit is reportedly considering running as a Democrat.
