Whatever happened to Michael Huffington?

Before Jim McGreevey, there was Michael Huffington. We haven't heard much from this one-time U.S. congressman from California who used some of his millions to challenge Dianne Feinstein for reelection to the U.S. Senate in 1994. He lost, then he divorced wife Arianna, then came out of the closet. Losing was probably the best thing that ever happened to him - not feeling compelled to live a lie for the sake of political ambition.
When he was running for the Senate, I was a reporter for the Los Angeles Times and was assigned to cover one of his campaign appearances in Newport Beach. One of my colleagues at the time, Eric Litchblau, was working on a seperate story involving Huffington and his hiring of an illegal nanny. Eric asked me to try and corner Huffington and get a comment. Easier said than done. He was surrounded by an entourage and being hustled into a limo after the event. But somehow, I wormed my way through, got right in his face and said something like: "Do you have comment on your hiring of an illegal nanny?" He was polite, but had no comment. I remembered that encounter when I found this photo (above) of Huffington at the Sundance Film Festival last month with GLAAD President Neil Guliano. He is an executive producer of "For the Bible Tells Me So," a documentary which premiered at the festival.
In 2006, Huffington became a director of It's My Party Too, a group founded by former N.J. Governor Christie Todd Whitman that advocates for the historic Republican principles of liberty, individual responsibility, and personal freedom. Huffington is also one of the producers of "Bi the Way," a documentary presently being filmed about bisexuality in America.
It seems both our lives have changed a lot. The only questions I yell to people these days are from the red carpet!
