Oprah blows off Sarah Palin

I used to be an Oprah fan, back in the day when she was entertaining and informative, not as she is now, as the head of her own religion "Oprah-ism" where she tries to fix everyone and everything with her own ideas, philosophies and money. Yes, she is a very powerful force in the media, yes she is very rich, and I will say, very generous with her money, but this just show's Oprah's true color(s).

Oprah to Palin: I Can Pencil You In Later

Oprah has issued a statement to TMZ -- she won't put Sarah Palin on her show until after the election. Here's the statement: "The item in today's Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over." (For the record, Barack Obama has been on "Oprah" twice -- in January, 2005 and again in October, 2006 -- before he announced his run for Prez.)

One of the comments below the article states: "...Obama is the new Messiah...of Oprah's new religion that she espouses....." and it couldn't have been said more succinctly!
And I completely agree with this comment, which is probably what Oprah is hoping for: "After the election Palin will be entirely to busy as the VP to talk to Ms. O."
If Oprah were worth anything at all, she would be JUMPING at this opportunity to interview the FIRST FEMALE GOP VP CANDIDATE IN HISTORY.
But no. Not Oprah. She calls the shots, and she's as liberal as they come (and she's black, and lives in Chicago, so therefore she MUST vote for Obama, right?), so this does not surprise me.

But if you wanted to let The Big O know your own thoughts on her choice not to have Sarah Palin on her show, you can do so here.

My 2 cents: Oprah will cave like a bad souffle over this. :)
