I grew up in Santa Barbara. For a very long time, my district there was represented in The House by Bob Lagomarsino. Who was a very widely-respected and admired Congressman. The Democraps would go through the motions, each election year, of fielding a throwaway candidate to run against him, but everyone knew that Lagomarsino was going to be reelected, and nobody seriously wanted otherwise.
So, in 1992, along comes this carpetbagger from Texas, a spoiled heir to an oil fortune, who has decided to use some of his inheritance to buy himself a seat in Congress.
Lagomarsino never knew what hit him. Suddenly, in the primary, he found himself the target of a toxic, vicious, slanderous negative campaign, against which he had no idea how to defend himself, nor the resources to effectively do so. The carpetbagger easily defeated Lagomarsino in the primary, and of course, went on to easily defeat the Democraps' throwaway that was already prepared to lose against Lagomarsino.
The carpetbagger, of course, proved to be a pathetic excuse for a Congressman, spending nearly all of his term focused on the next election cycle, when he ran for Senator against Diane Feinstein. The one bright lining in the 1994 election was that I knew that one way or another, we were going to be rid of one worthless, crooked elected representative. Either the carpetbagger was going to lose his bid for the Senate, and go crawling back into whatever dark, filthy hole he had crawled out of in the first place, or else he was going to defeat Feinstein, and remove her from office.
I turned out that Feinstein held on to her office, and the carpetbagger slithered away in defeat.
That carpetbagger was Michael Huffington. His wife, at the time was Ariana Huffington, née Stassinopoúlou, who was one of the main founders of the
Huffington Post, later renamed to
Huffpost. At some point, they divorced, and at some point, Michael Huffington came out as a demifaggot.
Ariana has had ties to the Rajneesh movement, that weird cult that took over a town in Oregon for a while, back in the 1980s, and carried out a bioterrorism attack there.
