1. Good, equal freaking opportunity.

Thanks, Hope Over Fear.

12. Are you friggin' kidding?!?! Equating Palin to Obama, for an equal equation

he would do fine to send his press secretary or less.

He is a fool for taking the bait, and I think Oprah is not a serious enough place for him these days. Fine for the campaign, but I don't think it's a good idea during his presidency. But I've always hated the Oprah show in the first place, so my opinion clearly doesn't count in this regard.

Nonetheless, I cannot fathom raising Palin to the level equal of Obama.

The queen of daytime will interview the president of the country during an ABC holiday special that brings together Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama.

The network has announced "Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special," which includes an interview with the president, a conversation with the First Couple and tour of the White House. The special will also go behind-the-scenes as staffers prepare the White House for the holiday season.

The special marks the first time Winfrey has interviewed Obama since he took office. "Christmas at the White House" will air Sunday, Dec. 13, at 10 p.m.

8. So he's doing a Christmas special with Oprah?

I guess even the leader of the free world has to do some dumb things sometimes.

[RepublicanElephant]

13. best way to reach the infotainment masses.

especially since the networks want to whine about his prime-time speeches.

[Hekate]

14. Oprah is a remarkably successful and powerful woman. She's an opinion-maker who transcends color...

None of this is a bad thing.

Just because I'm a news-junkie who doesn't watch the Oprah show doesn't mean I don't understand this about her.
