Roughing it

"The runway's kind of old, so don't worry if we hit a pothole."

--Deputy White House Chief of Staff Joe Hagin, just before the plane carrying first lady Laura Bush, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings and Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky landed yesterday in Kabul, Afghanistan.

'Eat the press'

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.

Business 2.0 magazine reports that the site will be staffed with a full complement of editors, describing it as a "culture and politics webzine in the classic mold of Salon or Slate."

"It will have breaking news, a press commentary section called 'Eat the Press' and its most interesting innovation, a group blog manned by the cultural and media elite: Sen. Jon Corzine, Larry David, Barry Diller, Tom Freston, David Geffen, Vernon Jordan, Gwyneth Paltrow and Harry Evans and his wife, Tina Brown. That's just to name a few, and Huffington is still recruiting," the magazine says.

Miss Huffington's business partner in the venture: Ken Lerer, former head of AOL Time Warner corporate communications. Look for a start date in April.
