Who funds Huffington Post?

Monday night I attended a reception on Chicago's North Side for Joel Pollak, a Republican candidate for Illinois' 9th District. He's a smart guy, articulate, and he can think on his feet. Pollak is our best hope to unseat über-liberal Jan Schakowsky, and I'll be proud to have Pollak represent me in Congress. Yes, that's an endorsement.

You'll be hearing a lot about Pollak in this space.

Schakowsky is married to ex-con Robert Creamer, a former consumer advocate and a sometime politico who writes for Huffington Post. On the day that the Barack Obama agenda was dealt a stinging defeat, Creamer wrote that "we are brink of a new progressive era." Uh, no.

Which brings us to Huffington Post. (Yes, I know this is a rambling post, but after almost 8,000 entries, I need to indulge myself once in a while.) Who funds it? John Hawkins of Right Wing New, wants to know, and is seeking leads, or really, any bit of information that might answer his question. Read more here.
