Arianna Huffington wants George Clooney. But George, bless him, is a busy man trying to keep the marriage of his friends (Brat Pitt and Angelina Jolie) in a small quiet place in Italy. Arianna Huffington wants George Clooney to become a blogger – perhaps even a Citizen Journalist.

So she cobbles together a blog entry made up of George’s old droppings and sends it to George’s PR lady – but somehow it ends up with the charlady (the cleaning lady). “Oh yes dear.” Says she. “That looks wonderful.”

I’ve read it. You can too. No wonder George is pissed – and so should you be.

Other “professional journalism” sites do it, hack up a blog entry and put some cleb’s name to it, but that the Huff does it is disappointing – I expected better things.

NYTimes TOM ZELLER Jr.: A Guest Blogger, and an Unwritten Law writes that George’s post is a “left wing call to arms” which I think is unfair given that the short piece barely has anything to say.

George gets points for his openness, pointing out the fakeness. Arianna loses points for fakeness – but really loses her credibility for putting such a lame post together in George’s name. This glimpse under the covers should enlighten us all.
