Celebrity Blog "The Huffington Post", Day 2 After our step-sister site thoroughly trashed the "next big thing in blogging", there are signs that, less than 48 hours in, "The Huffy" (a nickname I take full credit for) is showing signs of either (A) getting a sense of humor or (B) jumping the shark.

1: The "Get Your War On" guy asks "For this I agreed to blog?" 2: Sportscaster declares "Biggest News Scandal of All Time" and 'White House correspondent for the National Review' (who let HIM in?) mocks him mercilessly 3: The largest celebrity picture on the Front Page is: King Tut The good news: It's giving us guaranteed daily doses of Harry Shearer

  • And Joe Scarborough has the nerve to fault THE UN for what's happening in Darfur, Sudan! WTF!? His legislation sounds like it may have been decent, but if he's pissed about the crisis in Darfur, he ought to be chewing out the Bush administration, who for months resisted a UN resolution sending the case to the International Criminal Court. (We finally agreed to simply abstain, rather than veto.) Grumble grumble jerko idiot..
  • Surprised to see "Congresscritter Joe" in the Huffy. I already see too much of him at MSNBC.com. If Madame Huff was going to get some token conservtives, she could've done better.
  • Huffington and her ridiculous blog are jokes.
  • The thing that's annoying is that there is no way to provide a meaningful response to the entries. At a minimum, there needs to be a comments section for each entry. Aside from, it's kind of like Sploid - barely tolerable and only worth it if there's nothing else to read.
  • Yes, but Hilary Rosen's contribution was unintentionally hilarious.
  • Mamet's entry had no obscenity. It's fake, obviously.
