OFF IN A HUFF

Michael Huffington Decides Not To Run: Republican Plans To Support Schwarzenegger (AP, August 7, 2003)

Huffington also took the opportunity to take a swipe at his ex-wife, political independent Arianna Huffington, who announced her candidacy Wednesday, portraying herself as an unconventional candidate for unconventional times.

Huffington said, in effect, that he is being responsive to his children's needs while she is not.

"This week my children told me that they did not want their parents to run in this election -- either one of us. In consideration of my two young daughters, I have determined that entering the governor's race would not be in the best interests of my children," he said in a statement.

"Withdrawing from this potential race has been a difficult decision. However, my children come first."

Odd then that the children came behind his sexual urges and their parents' marriage. Posted by Orrin Judd at August 7, 2003 9:11 PM
