Arianna Huffington and Mika Brzezinski Host West Coast Literati

As New York City suffers through yet another cold snap, our West Coast blog siblings at FishbowlLA hobnobbed with the literary and media elite in sunny California.

They snapped that photo of Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington, Morning Joe co-anchor Mika Brzezinski, and Joe Scarborough. Held at Huffington’s home in Brentwood, the party celebrated the release of Brzezinski’s new book All Things at Once.

Here’s more from the post: “Arianna is, as always, perhaps one of the most charming people on the planet explained her role in encouraging Mika when her galleys came out … Mika was finally given the microphone and noted she was warned against writing this book because it was too honest and could ‘damage her brand.’ She seem genuinely impressed with the caliber of the crowd. We spotted Larry David, yes that Larry David. Sherry Lansing was there. Journos James Rainey from LAT, Tina Daunt now of Huffpo LA, Sandra Tsing Loh, Mickey Kaus of Slate.com and of course Lawrence O’Donnell from MSNBC.”
