If Oprah had Sarah on her show then I would be compelled to watch and that would go against the grain because I NEVER watch Oprah.

Here’s what I think - I posted this in response to her statement on her boards:

Thanks,

For 25 years I have had nothing but admiration and respect for you, Oprah. I don’t remember ever even having a negative comment or thought about you.

That is ALL GONE because of your refusal to have Sarah Palin on your show. To say that you will have her on your show after the election is a total copout. The weak excuse that you don’t want to use your show as a platform for any candidate is truly insulting to the intelligence of everyone. You have had Barack Obama on your show and in your magazine. You have had Michelle Obama on your show and in your magazine. When the Obamas get their dog you will have their dog on your show and in your magazine.

You have made billions of dollars based on the idea that you want to empower women and champion for women’s rights and successes. Sarah Palin represents everything you claim to want for women. It is absolutely crushing to learn that you are really only working for Democrat women. Sarah Palin’s story is custom made for your show from a number of angles and you won’t focus on even one of them.

I am shocked to find myself so disgusted, disillusioned and disappointed in you, Oprah.

Probably 55% of the 75% of women viewers Oprah has each day are disaffected Hillary Clinton voters. If Sarah Palin was ugly had a wart on her nose and could not string two words together or complete a sentence. Oprah would have her own in a minute. However an attractive, articulate and intelligent woman with conservative views. Who would appeal to her female audience. Will never be asked to sit on that couch. Unless it is to discuss a scandal or defend herself.

Let us face it. Watching a gorgeous, intelligent, articulate woman like Alisyn is much more appealing to both the female and male audience of a show than someone like Nancy Grace. If Oprah cried her eyelashes off during the Obama speech…imagine the depression she would go into if she thought she helped McCain and Palin win the election by having Palin on the show.

And Alisyn I would watch you even if all you did was sit and smile at the camera for three hours

Good Morning Alisyn

Oprah, Is doing this for Obama and democrat victory. she is money hungry and a Racist

Alisyn,
As you tried to not be partisan, this story is ridiculous. Conservatives (and liberals) will jump on any story to push there biased agenda.

Oprah has the right not to have any political guest on her show. I don’t remember conservatives being as agressive about Hillary not being on the show.

I agree with Oprah. Sarah will have her day at the debates. She has already outlined who she is on national tv. Personally I am sick of her already. This is about the election and who can help this country, not about some “hot” chick.

Trying this again. Might end up being a double post…

Isn’t this the same party (Dems) that want to use “law” for their gains in radio?

Aren’t they the ones that want the radio programs such as, Rush, Hannity, Bill O. etc to give equal air time to a Dem point of view?

Doesn’t this party want to intrude in our listening pleasure to the radio people I want to listen to and not some foolish rebuttal?

Yeah, it is…

But, just let the Big “O” decide all by herself that it would be “disingenuous” on her part.

Sorry, O. Not buying it and I just bet you have alienated half of YOUR base. Time will tell…

Hi Alisyn
WOW! Seeing you an hour early on a weekend morning is a real treat.
Oprah is so far “in the tank” for Obama that she doesn’t want to give Gov. Sarah Palin the exposure on her show. It says alot about both women. Oprah is AFRAID of the positive impression Sarah would make as she captures the immagination of the viewers.
You look great this morning as always.
Paul Boettcher-Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Dear Alison,

I emailed Oprah at her show yesterday over her decision not to interview Sarah Palin until after the campaign ended.

Yes, it is correct that it is Oprah’s show.

I stated to Oprah that she and gayle must already be planning the “O” issue of Oprah and Gayle go to the White House.

Her show has primarily been about women’s issues and we, as fans have supported her show over the years, now, at a historic moment in history, she has placed herself in a position of a man over a woman.

Why? Because Oprah, unlike the other celebrities, could deliver the women’s vote for Obama by having him on her show, just as she does author’s, chef’s, trainers, or anything else she endorses.

With her money and her personal contacts, she could put a black American man in the White House.

Perhaps, but she forgot the American women had the right to make up our own minds.

She should have reserved her show for both candidates and if she wanted to endorse a candidate, then she should have gone to a fundraiser.

She is in a category of influence unto herself and she has let her fans down.

I am highly disappointed in Oprah. When did her show stop being informative/educational for her audience and become a forum just for people/causes she supports? I cannot believe she will let this whole election season go by without any mention of Barak or Michelle, or how being in the
White House will impact their young children. Or tell the story of Biden and how he juggled his Senate career while being a single father after the death of his wife and daughter. I think that this is a blatant act on her part to show her continued support for Obama, instead of showcasing a strong woman who could be a role model for millions.

I think she is discriminating against the white race. She plays the race card often so here is her payback.

Isnt her main viewers married soccer moms 35-50? We do need to remember its Gov. S.Palin, This is just what Oprahs viewers would like to see. She is very energized and Has a wonderful story to tell. Small town girl from Sandpoint Idaho makes good. From PTA to Gov, who wouldn’t love that story?

Come on people, who is Oprah anyway, seriously, I mean it. As a Canadian woman, I never ever understood the allure of “O”. Yes I have many friends who race home from work to catch her show or tape it, again I ask why? I can count on one hand the amount of times I watched her show. Her show is a forum for HER FRIENDS, HER LIKES, HER POLITICS, etc. She is COMPLETELY biased against “those” who she is not in some way “attached ” to. Example, at the top of my head, she had Jennifer Anniston on her show following the break-up with Brad Pitt. Jennifer is one of her girlfriends. She allowed her to slam the man publicly if you will all recall. What the hell is that? Don’t even get me started on the pathetic Anniston. My take on this is that Oprah is once again showing her bias. It’s no secret what she is (as most of those Hollywood types). It shows us all her FEAR that Palin will continue to shine and no amount of her ridiculous questions will rattle Mrs. Palin. THEY ARE VERY AFRAID MY FRIENDS. This is what the Oprah thing says to me. And as far as Jon Bon Jovi, remember he played for the Democrats last go round? A lot of help that was, ha! McCain and Palin will CRUSH their opponents at the polls, of that I’m convinced. I envy your love of country, your patriotism and what that affords you, my American friends. Canada could take a page out of your book. I am a born Canadian of Irish immigrant parents and often said to mom and dad - “you should have fought harder to immigrate to the U.S. instead of settling for Canada! You truly do have the greatest country in the world! For all our sakes here in North America, get out there and vote McCain and Palin!

Would Sarah even want to be on with Oprah??

Well so much for poor ole Ali getting to sleep in an extra hour. I wish I hand known the show would be an hour earlier, with you on it’s worth the wake!

I don’t think Ophra’s show is much on public service but more to promote her interests. I definitly think she is showing bias and doing a disservice to her millions of fans. Sarah has a broad appeal to women around the country and would only take votes away from her canidate. I think McCane-Palen would even get a bump should she appear, and that is something Ophra doesn’t want to be a part of.

Ali next time give me call when you start early. LOL

Ed

I am very disappointed in Oprah. I thought her show was an empowerment to women, and Sarah has shared joys and struggles that many of us have. A special needs child, an unplanned pregnancy, sending a child off to war…….the topics are many, but Oprah’s response was narrow-minded and politically motivated. I doubt she will go through this entire election season without a single mention of Barack or Michelle or their small children. And I believe the fact that she cannot shelver her personal politcs long eough to do a legitimate interview shows just how shallow she really is.

Oprah’s claim that she is all about empowering women is all gone at this point. Here she has an opportunity to interview the first female Republican VP nominee, who could actually one day become the first woman President, and she declines? Sounds biased to me.

Oprah is a phony.

Maybe I’m missing something? Did Oprah say she would NOT have Gov. Palin on EVER?
If the people on this blog care so much about her story and her life, why does it matter when Oprah brings her on the show.

Or is it really about promoting the candidacy of McCain-Palin for conservatives???

Oprah can no longer relate to the common American. She is totally Hollywood and has forgotten where she came from. I believe people will always take her free gifts but not her politics.

Good morning Ms. Alisyn,

This doesn’t surprise me. I have posted this many times here during the Dems primary and it still holds true. Race trumps gender.

This is the reason O will not have her on, this is why she has her support behind Obama and that is why Obama gets so much a pass and favor from the media.

Watch the trip home this afternoon. Stay dry and have a wonderful day.

As always it’s nice to see you this morning.

chas

Real women watch FOX and not Oprah anyway, just have her on FOX.

Oprah probably realizes Palin needs her more than Oprah needs Palin. Just another ploy to marginalize a female candidate that isn’t a democrat, move over Clarence Thomas, it’s now Palin’s turn to be media crucified for being the “right” type of person, but the “wrong” political persuasion which invalidates qualifications!

Did Gov. Palin say she wanted to be on with the BIG O, or did Ms Winfrey just pipe up that she wouldn’t invite Palin? Pretty arrogant to just assume she would be dying to appear. I would lose some respect for Palin if she even wanted to be a guest, much less be disappointed by a “snub”.

Man, you have the greatest legs ever. Was that a digression? Sorry, but you just came on my tv as i was writing. Where was I?????

I really don’t know or care whether this will hurt Oprah’s show. I quit watching when I heard that Oprah had attended Rev. Wright’s church and then backed Obama who did not quit until he was backed into a corner. I beleive that Obama agree’s with Wright. What does this tell us about the famous Oprah.

Oprah probably realizes Palin needs her more than Oprah needs Palin. Just another ploy to marginalize a female candidate that isn’t a democrat, move over Clarence Thomas, it’s now Palin’s turn to be media crucified for being the “right” type of person, but the “wrong” political persuasion which invalidates qualifications

Oprah WILL lose a lot of viewers by not inviting Governor Palin on her show. At one time I viewed Oprah as fair and balanced, but not anymore. This gives the impression that her show has turned into the liberal left media…in the tank for Obama. It would have been a great way to bring attention to how women are being treated like second class citizens by the good ole boys club. I think her show will suffer greatly because of her decision. Oprah could always bring on the four candidates on her show if she wants to be fair, but this will not happen as this show is now officially the far left liberal media out of touch with ordinary Americans. What a way to lose respect with the American people. She had the opportunity to stand up for all American working and nonworking women, but she blew it. Oprah no longer has my respect, bye Oprah.

You guys have made the show so interesting now, I get up to watch you every weekened! Keep up the good work!

Jennie from the swing state of Virginia

Good morning Aly…I would prefer Sarah not go on Oprah, Oprah has let us know who she is and what and who she stands for. Sarah deserves the best!!! We know what she stands for!!! Gotta Love that Sarah!!

Sarah doesn’t need Oprah. Oprah already has declared her allegiance to Obama. No fairness would come from such an interview.

I think every PTA, soccer, hockey playing, child with a disability mom should get tickets to the Oprah show and stand and turn her back to her during the show. This has nothing to do with politics. This has been a women that has over the years been able to spew her vemon under the disguise of promoting women rights. This is a joke. I’m glad it will take a women like Sarah Palin to expose Oprah as the fraud she really is.

Oprah obviously has a thing against conservatives. She refused to to bring Clarence Thomas, a minority man with a compelling story who just happens to be one of the most powerful people on the face of the earth. He is also a best selling author of a non-political book, so the “staying away from politics” line is nonsense.

But in the end it is her show, she can have on whomever she wants. One would just hope she’d be honest about it, but we know she can’t afford to alienate half of her audience.

I have nothing else to add, so I’ll just say that Alisyn gets more adorable every day. She should have her own network with 24/7 Alisyn coverage.

I’m just saying…

I think that Oprah really doesn’t care whether she is republican or not it is about her race.

Us weekley is a terrible rag they published a duel cover thise week and the other cover shows Obama holding his kids and the title says “Life with his Girls” or something along those lines.

That is tipical media cover completely unfair and unbalanced and always leaning towards the demecratic party wishes.

Oprah is loyal to Obama and fears a Sarah Palin interview. She knows Obama is in trouble.
I am a mother of four and very conservative…I quit watching Oprah years ago. She has no idea what it is to be a real woman. The day I quit watching the show was when she stated she changes her sheets every two days. I am sure her “maid” does that lovely duty. Also, just to let you know I am not alone on my feeling of Miss Oprah.
Janine from the great state of OHIO!

I have never watched Oprah. I will probably never watch Oprah. I wish her no ill, but I could really care less who she supports for President. I wish I could have bet on this before she made her decision, because I could have made a lot of money. Oprah is predictable.

GO RAYS!

i am an independent but i am voting for mccain because of the 2 i think obama is a markist, i don’t think america is really for his idea’s and i don’t see where mccain is same old same old going by his record. as for oprah i use to watch her all the time but no more i think she sucks go palin go.

Hi Alisyn,

Oprah is a very good communicater especially for women and that is why she does not want Sarah Palin to be on her show. Oprah is a bit racially inspired but I think public outcry will force her to have Sarah Palin as a guest. Governor Palin is absolutely the reason I will vote R this year. I do not like McCain because of the way he stabs conservatives in the back and voting D is and always has been out-of-the question. I only wish she was on the top spot.

I am 68 years old and have always voted R and Sarah Palin is the most exciting candidate I can ever remember! I also think that the bone-head of the year is Barack Obama refusing to choose Hillary Clinton as his veep. Looks like the 2012 election will be Sarah against Hillary.

Alisyn you are great and we enjoy you.. Thanks.

Paul McLean

Alisyn,

No matter how big of a television personality Oprah is, I don’t think she has a “responsibility” to have Governor Palin on her show. She has every right in the world not to.

However, I think she had better be careful not raise the topic of the Fairness Doctrine on her program anytime in the near future. And I think the consequences of her decision will be decided by her viewership (which happens to be primarily women, I believe).

If her viewers (of which I am not one) decide they don’t like her decision, they will vote with their remote control the next time her program airs. Perhaps they’ll tune in to the Fox News Channel, instead?

I agree it is Oprahs show but, this seems to go against everything she has stood for….empowering women and celebrating them. She could do a whole show on the womans acheivements and not even touch the presidential side of things.

gg

I would hope Sarah and John would vow to never go on the Oprah show either before or after they win the election. In fact I would like to see them going on shows that are on at the same time periods as Oprah. Sarah is a breath of fresh air. She is the new Rock Star, She is the new American Idol.

Charles from South Carolina

Oprah offered to interview Palin AFTER the election.

Palin needs to tell her the same thing she told the politicians, when they wanted to build that useless bridge…”THANKS BUT NO THANKS!”

Oprah must be worried about Sarah’s fast growing popularity. I also have to wonder what would happen if Oprah were white and she would not let Barack on the show. Al & Jessie would be beating down her door screaming (racism)
Love your show

Alisyn;

First off, how in the world do you deal with those two goofballs every weekend?…just kidding, guys.

Anyway, as a right wing nutjob, I am ecstatic about Sarah! Oprah is making a big mistake here, but what can she do? She is being seen as promoting the black cause, which happens to be mostly liberal. If she brought Sarah on the couch, she would help add to the already swelling number of women voters flocking towards the republican ticket. I do believe McCain has sealed the election with this pick, and the biggest landslide in history will soon be upon us.

Would you agree with this assessment?

Mark

Oprah is running as fast as she can away from Palin. She is a solid Democrat, so one wouldn’t expect a fair and balanced platform for Republicans.

Her numbers dropped after campaigning with Obama.

What upsets me is that she pusjes Obama on the show, then says that she won’t have any candidates on the show.

OK, she want out of politics, but the Sarah Palin story is one ideally suited her her demographic. After all these years of bashing guys on her show, here is a chance to show a woman that really is the American Dream. Wife, mother, professional, independent, ideal traits for women to emulate.

Oprah has really become a phony. It’s put up or shut up time … and she blinked.

hi aly,
oprah like to support women’s issues, provided they are liberal women issues-

Ally, You are so right, Oprah will not have Sarah on her show,because it would only have all women running to the Polls in November to vote for Mcain and Sarah,,,,I am 46 years old, and have never wanted to vote so much after hearing her speech!!!!!

Goodmorning Alisyn, Isnt big O a journalist? She should have her on, but she would probably like her & what then? People would be saying O changed her mind or something. She’s just being loyal to Obama, hey when you have her cash, you can do whatever you want I guess. As for that ummm rag mag, Don’t buy it!!!!!! I read all the juice on perez,LOL. Have a great weekend Alisyn
P.S. Where’s the pictures from sailing with Branson?

Sarah Palin is yet another huge chuck hole in the endless highway of liberal and far left propaganda. The mainstream media has turned to yellow journalism at it’s worst. It has gotten to where you can’t believe anything that is reported by the media with the exception of Fox News and NPR. The party is scared and really shows it. Oprah has turned out to be just another one of the herd with her biased agenda. I will never read another US mag or watch another episode of Oprah. The are all despicable!

My mom and I love Sarah Palin. She is a breath of fresh air and it definitely has been needed in politics. Oprah, are you afraid Sarah will show outshine your candidate of choice? You bet she will!!!

Oprah who? I quit watching her show some time ago because even when she has an interesting guest, she talks over them and always brings everything back to herself.

I hope this posts. The last two days that you have had the blog, my posts haven’t come up. I promise there was nothing in them that should have been blocked.

Love reading all the posts and watching you. The weekend show is getting significantly better since you took over.

Oprah just dose not want the U.S. to know what we alaskens know Sarah is great

I love your show fox friends I stay up to 1 or 2 am in alaska so I can watch

Tell Oprah, Thanks but no thanks. Sara has a lot more to do then chat it up with Oprah between now and election day. I went to a rally yesterday in Michigan. John, Cindy and Sara all on stage only 60 feet away from me. The place, Freedom Hill. They were ready for 1000 people. More than 2000 were lined up to get in. WOW it was great. This is the first time I’ve ever given my money to help a politician. It’s not in my budget, you know. But this was more like a hand up and not a hand out because I believe McCain will budget that money and make it go as far as it can. No waste and no over the top stuff.

Oprah supported Obama long before he reached national attention to my knowledge, and without an accurate timeline, I can’t say whether his appearances (and Michelle’s) happened after his campaign began or not. I have heard she’s been both a backer and financial supporter of Obama, so we know where her loyalty lies, and since it is her show, it is her right to pick and choose who she wants on and when.

That said, though, I too find it disappointing and enlightening that so-called women groups and individuals who claim they are all for promoting women in all areas, including politics, find themselves dragging their feet or finding “reasons” why they are not proud and getting behind Sarah Palin. NOW has come out with negative comments. Oprah says it’s about not getting political on her show. Obviously it is not ALL women these individuals or organizations include and support, even though they purport to in order to draw women to join or watch them. It appears they represent or want only select women who agree with their political views or goals. Sarah Palin is first a woman and second timely news. There is every reason to want to include her, which is why it is suspicious and discriminating not to include her.

95% of the African-Americans in the democratic primary voted for Obama. It is clearly about race, to the point where nothing else matters.

Oprah is beyond disingenuous… this is a blatant lie. How does the network condone this? The liberal media bias isn’t even nuance or subtle, subliminal messaging- when I look back on some of the coverage by people like Campbell Brown, Wolf Blitzer, Chris Mattews, Keith Olberman, Brian Williams, et. al., it is clear that most of the cable news networks are in the tank for Obama.

Oprah simply can’t help herself. She is so politically biased that she has forgotten about being fair and balanced about anything.
I stopped watching her a while back because I realized that most of her political views are made through her rose colored glasses.
We love seeing you during the week and on weekends! I think my husband has a crush on you!

Another un-important issue Fox is reporting on that has nothing to do with the real issues. Were in a real morgage crisis, people are losing their homes and an economy that has never been so bad before. Let’s report on the real issues that people NEED and want to know about not about some silly story. Thanks for your time.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. I stopped watching Oprah a long time ago, when I realized she was all about just promoting her own “liberal” agenda.

Anyone interested in contacting advertisers in US Magazine’s issue bashing Sarah Palin can go to:

http://www.boycottusweekly.com/

This is how to really put it to this left-wing owned rag.

Alli, I dont really care if Palin goes on the show or not, I think that it is all just hype from both sides, the repubs want her to be the next coming of reagan and the dems want to demonize her.. thought your show was supposed to be fair and balanced, havent seen that from you or your co host if that is what they are..seems that you are just mouth pieces for the repubs this morning..

and I agree with one of the other poster, you have great legs and that is the only reason I watch.

I BELIEVE OLE’ OPIE MADE HER SELF CRYSTAL CLEAR ON HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT HER NEW SNUG-BUG, OBAMA-NATION. IT’S SAD, THAT OPRAH WON’T HAVE THE MOST FAMOUS WOMAN IN THE COUNTRY ON HER SHOW. I GUESS THAT MAKES THE GOVERNER’S(MS. PALIN) DECESION ON WETHER OR NOT TO MAKE THE MISSTAKE TO APPEAR ON HER SHOW REAL EASY.

Good for Oprah! She has absolutely no responsibility to have this woman on her show. An unknown,
until a week ago. The Gov. refuses to answer questions, and guarded from the press, it’s very clear
she’s not ready for “Prime Time”, much less,…..Day One-as V.P…..A heartbeat away from the Pres.
If, in fact she’s so Tough,…”The Pit-Bull, with Lipstick”? She calls herself, whats she afraid of? Just
because McCains Campaign didn’t thoroughly vet her, why should that be left up to Oprah? Believe
me, the press will eventually do that. Your lady guest, Kathleen, thinks women should support her
just because she’s a woman. How Ridiculous!! Besides, she supports everything Oprah, and alot of
us do not support. Too Conservative and(I’m gentle) to say the least. If she can play with the big
boys, and earn her substance, and not just STYLE, Then women, and all americans, will take a look
and listen, until then get out of the kitchen little lady.

Please forgive me for butchering your name. Its early and I am on my first Cappachino so please forgive me. Oprah’s refusal to have Gov Palin on her show is just another example of how UNLIBERAL liberals can be! I think Oprah is a very talented smart lady but ignoring Sarah Palin ? Oprah is going to have to scrap her shoe off on this one.

ps Fox and Friends always makes my day!

Sarah Palin is a threat to all liberal ladies. She would be good for them, but not sure liberal ladies want good. God made Palin from the same batch Fox Women are made from. The secret formula is Brains, Beauty and Personality.

Hi Alisyn,
Really don’t care much about the Oprah thing. It’s her show, she already backs Obama, ’nuff said.
I like Dave, started drinking at 14, bringing Seagrams in a diet soda bottle to school. I never fit with jocks or the brains. I gravitated to the heads. Bringing booze or pot to school was a way to make friends, appear, at least a little, cool. After years being picked on and being the last picked for any sport, it felt good to be accepted.
And yes, it did cause problems in my adult life. Finally got things together at around 35 years old.
At 40, I realized, with great relief, that I didn’t have to be cool any more. I could relax.
I wonder how many kids die doing things just to be “cool”.

Until tomarrow…

I think Govenor Sarah Palin should not go on Oprah… Oprah made her choice… and let her live with it. I am ashamed of Oprah. She has the right to do as she wishes. Of course I do to and as such Oprah can keep her show… and her magazine… I don’t need it.

Oprah definitely has many viewers, but maybe she has been made out to be bigger than she really is. Sarah Palin makes her own publicity by just being Sarah Palin. When it comes to Sarah Palin, it’s like handing the media types a bottle of nitro glycerin and asking them to set it on the table gently. Not too many will take it from you!

I have always had alot of admiration for Oprah Winfrey in the PAST. I used to record her shows as I worked and did not want to miss any. I was impressed at how she could bring alot of troubled issues onto her show and seemed to show all aspects of the story. BUT since she has started using her fame to “bully” her viewers offends me. In the past someone like Sarah Palin couldn’t be on her show soon enough. I am sure the more politically biased her show becomes the fewer viewers she will have…
signed
No langer a viewer of the OPrah Winfrey Show

Oprah wont give Gov. Palin the time of day because it would hurt her pal Sen. Obama.

Although I wish Oprah would put Palin on her show, I do not believe she should have to. It is her show after all. What I really wonder, however, is…………if Condeleeza Rice had been named as McCains’s VP would Oprah’s decision have been the same? I’m not sure. It didn’t take Oprah long to roll out for Obama when he was up against a more qualified candidate who happened to be a caucasian female and shared his political platfom. While it seemed that Oprah was showing her partisan stripes, she may indeed have been showing her other stripes.
And, as far as drinking at fourteen goes………I vividly recall drinking and smoking at the age of twelve. Peer pressure was not a factor, but I seem to remember it being tied in to job stress and concerns about my career advancement at the time.

Actually…who cares if she is on or not. Oprah has just given her more press by her comments. I am disgusted that we actually pay attention to any comments she makes

One question….as to womens comments…has anyone heard from Hillary? What does she think about Sarah Palin

Small point here… he is half a black man… his momma was a white women with white parents. Of course after the DNC you wouldn’t know there were any white people in his family he sucessfully erased their existance. So … is he ashamed of his white heritage? You decide

I find it very hard to understand that Oprah, of all people, would refuse to have Gov. Palin on her show. She has always been a champion of women, and now she denies airtime to a woman that could be the most powerful the world has ever seen. It’s just sad and disappointing.

I really don’t care who Oprah puts on her show and I really don’t care if she lies about why or why not she does or doesn’t put someone on her show. In the big picture it matters not. What matters is why we have starving children in our country, why we’re still in Iraq, why, after 3 years, Louisiana still suffers the effects of Katrina, why our infrastructure is in deplorable condition and why, when it so easily could be otherwise, are we still so dependent on foreign oil?

Politics and T.V. where does it stop, And why should it start? Is it right for one t.v. host to have a person running for a certain party on their show? Do they now become A political forum, And no longer A talk show? Should you not show A certain party, Even if their not officaly running at that time? Now I decide not to have A guest that stands for everything I want women to be,and seems to be what I would think A rollmodel should be for women. The problem is that she stands for everything poltical that I don’t. So
