Ya, it's right up there with "if you smoke pot, you are supporting a
terrorist"... which the LP debunked a while back.

Why?
"Green Acres, that's the place to be....
Faaaaaarm living, that's the life for me!" (2)
Besides, I think it's Zsa Zsa you are thinking of, but I could be wrong. Also,
it should be noted that Green Acres starred her sister Eva, actually.

But I agree with your general distate for Ms. Huffington, she didn't make a good
republican and she makes a worse democrat. Inasmuch as there is any difference,
anyway.
1 - This cite may find you other info, or it may not, no comment on site
veracity offered, it's merely a cite (3) but it DOES lead to the LP site where
you can see the debunking ad for yourself...
2 - working from memory, cited without attribution (3) because I don't know who
to credit (although Vic Mizzy might be a good guess), and cited as "fair use by
reviewer"... (3)
3 - if you find these disclaimers annoying or superfluous, thank those that made
them necessary for me (but not necessarily for others) here in off-topic.debate.
What an unfun place this has become, overall, compared to the good old days.
