Whatever you think of her, you've got to admire Arianna Huffington's ability to generate publicity. The idea that a Greek gay-husband-marrying, Republican-turned-Democrat, failed-gubernatorial-candidate, frequent-Bill Maher-guest, blogger could use a by-the-numbers self-help tome to induce the orgy of coverage she's recently received is astounding; if nothing else, she's certainly an artist. But Oprah? Once again, negative. Although the whole husband thing does at least put her in Star Jones territory.
