[kjackson227]

1. Ooooh, I'm looking forward to this.

[Ian David]

2. Give Sarah tickets to the sweat lodge, and also too! n/t

[tomhayes]

3. WTF is wrong with Oprah?

She's giving Palin a *huge* platform and a giant audience.

[Walk away]

4. I agree. I bet she plays softball too.

This is a bad thing. Validating these kooks is wrong.

[lxlxlxl]

7. ugh...agree...

it couldnt have been an easy decision to make,but let's see what happens. cant be worse than erick prince on charlie rose.

[WriteDown]

8. What is she thinking?

Ratings and money.

[tblue]

9. Oprah, for all the good she does sometimes, is all about Oprah. nt

[WriteDown]

11. I wonder who will be on the cover of O magazine this month....

:)

[euphoria12leo]

17. OPRAH who else n/t

[leftynyc]

10. Ignoring her will not make her go away

The woman simply cannot string two sentences together without sounding like a moron. Give her the biggest platform available, sit back and watch her implode.

[tinrobot]

30. Actually, it will... but think of the ratings.

Isn't the middle of November sweeps week?

[leftynyc]

32. That too (ratings month), however

I disagree that ignoring her will make her go away. This is the thinking that got bush elected in 2004 - Kerry ignored what we all considered a mornonic story and it bit us in the ass. I think you're forgetting that the more people saw of caribou barbie, the less they liked her. Her ratings have plummeted.

[emilyg]

14. It's all about $$$$

[Peregrine Took]

37. I'm still mad at her for giving "w" and Laura a whole soft soap show in 1999.

I think he benefited from it tremendously as it showed a whole SWEET side to him, sitting on the porch, holding hands with Laura, etc.

[Jill_Casey]

39. POPCORN

This is the thinking that got bush elected in 2004 - Kerry ignored what we all considered a mornonic story and it bit us in the ass. I think you're forgetting that the more people saw of caribou barbie (On Movies), the less they liked her.

[berni_mccoy]

5. POPCORN Getchya POPCORN Hearya!

6. Ooooooh - the wingers

are not going to like that. Oprah being the first to interview - not someone on fox?

[Diane R]

12. Two narcissistic, self-aggrandizing egos. Should be a fun collision.

[elehhhhna]

36. DING DING YOU WIN . Sarah's done her first smart thing --

found the absolute WORST softball interviewer on the planet.

[onehandle]

43. The first sentence is correct.

Pass on the fun. It'll be a reach-around.

[southernyankeebelle]

13. I wonder if Lady O is paying her to be on her show. They will be

spft ball questions. O will try not to make a fool of her. Of course she will do it on her own. If it doesn't go well you'll hear the rightwing saying nasty stuff about Lady O. I won't watch it. I will get clips of it am sure.

[alstephenson]

15. I'm betting she'll be a no-show. eom

[LeftHander]

16. "In what regard Oprah?"....nt

[closeupready]

25. LOL - that made me laugh.

Thanks. :hi: :D

[Raschel]

29. In what respect Ooooahpra? ya

[laststeamtrain]

18. Two dopes talking to one another. Historic.

Too bad Donahue's not still around raising the tone of daytime dimwit TV. He's just not fun to shop with, though.

[RebelOne]

23. Oprah is not such a dope. She is only one of the richest women in the world.

That takes a little bit of smarts. Besides, I like her.

[xultar]

31. You're calling Oprah a dope? Jealous much?

[onehandle]

44. Narcissism is not ignorance, it's selfishness.

Oprah to a T.

[Stumbler]

19. Stop giving that woman air time!

Palin, I mean. Not Oprah, she's cool.

[EC]

20. She won't show up

and will say there was a "misunderstanding" as usual.

[paparush]

21. Palin - I've read every single issue of "O", and "P" and "Q" and "R" too, you betcha!

[saracat]

22. Since Oprah charged costly fees to poor women to teach them how to "envision their dreams"

and create wealth", I have had no use for her.She took women in financial difficulty and took their last dollars.

[Altoid_Cyclist]

24. Not to mention her promotion of "The Secret" and James Arthur Ray.

I wonder if she is still defending that piece of garbage after the sweat lodge episode?

[closeupready]

26. The hype surrounding "The Secret" always smacked of "The Celestine Prophecy"

Bunch of baloney.

[saracat]

27. She is still doing the seminars as well.She has lowered the price a bit

They are now $99. I remember when they were a couple of hundred, and her argument was the women had to "invest in themselves, in order to give themselves worth".Her approach was tailored to women who had financial, troubles and were facing bankruptcy. I just about lost it when I read the promo years ago. With all her money, she never has enough.She takes their last dime.

[Altoid_Cyclist]

34. Maybe we just didn't believe hard enough.

I can't believe that people aren't in jail for this tripe. Well, J.A. Ray might be at some point in the near future.

That was when I lost all respect for Oprah, even if she did endorse Obama.

Can anyone actually watch this without barfing?

[mitchtv]

33. After her promotion of Gropenator

She's been dead to me

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

28. Oooh I hope it's just as in depth as her interview with Condi-sleeza Rice.

:puke: :eyes:

[Sabriel]

35. Maybe she'll ask Palin if she's read her own book

Or ANY book, for that matter.

Ask for a list of titles and then some plot summaries.

[merh]

38. The more recorded interviews the better.

She may run again - let her words bite her on the ass when she does and videos will be so much fun to use to prove what a nitwit she truly is.

[KamaAina]

40. "So Oprah, what's it like being named after that, y'know, all that Eye-talian singing?"

:dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

edit: header

[Psephos]

41. Good business for both of them. n/t

[onehandle]

42. Oprah, looks out for Oprah. Remember this. nt
