Patricof? Gesundheit!

What the heck is Alan Patricof, the finance chair of Sen. Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign, doing as a featured blogger on HuffingtonPost.com?

HuffPost, after all, is the home for Hollywood liberal elite who are quite skeptical, to say the least, of Clinton's desirability as a candidate. (Check out this helpful Huffpost history.)

And should Hillary Clinton run for president, Patricof will likely be near the apex of her national finance team.

It could simply be that Patricof is an amiable guy. For this New York Times story on the Clinton's marriage, Patricof was one of the few genuine Clinton friends who agreed to be quoted on the record. And he divulged some tasty info about Clinton fundraising practices, to boot!

Patricof spends his day as co-founder of a very successful venture capital firm, Patricof and Co. (It's now Apax Partners.). For an amusing story about Patricof and the Internet, read this. [MARC AMBINDER]
