IMHO this article by huffington serves the same purpose as her new hairdo. It makes her a more valuble commodity on the pundit circuit. Not for one moment do I believe that her anti-racism is the genuine article, but only makes her a more effective and dangerous advocate of ideas that are bad for people of all colors, unless they're in a very high income bracket.(course I think rich people would be better off in a more just world, but that's a hard sell).

Has anyone else watched her performances on those panel discussions? You know, in this corner, William Buckley and Arianna the Huff. And the challengers....Ira Glasser and......

They really get to flesh out their ideas in that venue.

Not buying it-p
