Arianna Huffington's nascent web venture is reportedly luring away Matt Drudge's right-hand-man, the eerily Spicolli-like Andrew Breitbart (who, earlier in his career, worked for Huffington as a researcher). From the Washington Times:

It might have conservative-turned-liberal pundit Arianna Huffington's name attached to it, but we're told that Matt Drudge sidekick and story contributor Andrew Breitbart is the brains behind the soon-to-start blog, Huffington Report. "There's a lot of rumors out there that I cannot confirm or deny," Mr. Breitbart said yesterday.

Congratulations to Breitbart for possibly being hired away from one of the oddest personalities on the web by one of the oddest figures in the entire mediasphere. I look forward to a thinly-veiled 'Devil Wears Prada'-esque roman a clef about both of them.
