Oprah on the Palin Rumors

Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is setting the record straight regarding rumors that Sarah Palin wasn't invited as a guest on her talk show.

"I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over," Oprah reveals to "Extra." "I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta Van Susteren. She talked to Matt Lauer. She talked to Larry King, but she didn't talk to me. But maybe she'll talk to me now that she has a book deal."

Lady O's couches are always ready for President-elect Barack Obama and wife Michelle. "There's always an open invitation for the President-elect and First Lady."

Winfrey served as an honorary chair at Alvin Ailey's Dance Theatre's 50th anniversary celebration -- and kidded with "Extra" about having two left feet! "In my wildest, wildest, crazy, crazy dreams, I am a dancer," O joked. "When I've like had too many tequila shots and I go to sleep, I dream of being a dancer."

Things took a serious turn when Oprah opened up about the wildfires that devastated homes in Santa Barbara also threatened to take her Montecito home. Winfrey was evacuated -- and told "Extra" she grabbed a book of letters from Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and the ladies that attended her Legends Ball. "So when the fires were coming and the flames were a blowin', I said, 'Get my letters!'"

Whether you like it of not Obama is your next president. You bigots need to crawl back into the woods that you came out of. It is the Oprah show. She owns it and does not have to work for the NBC,ABC, or anyother networks. Oh and by the way she has her OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network). You are a bunch of haters. Real talk show hosts are jounalists by profession. Linda, if you can’t see why Oprah is so popular, let me tell you. She is smarter than you are and that’s why she is a BILLIONAIRE. People don’t make yourself look any more stupid by supporting that dumb a$$. Why do you think so many republicans voted democratic.

There is no comparison at all between Oprah and Sarah. No body ever heard of Sarah before she lost the election for the repulbicans. if you don’t watch Oprah, oh well, she is not being affected by it nor is she losing any sleep over it. She sure doesn’t need Sarah to get ratings. You people sound like the sore loosing repulbicans that you are. yes Sarah finally got a degree in journalism after bouncing around from school to school. If she is smart she will take lessons from Oprah and maybe one day she will be a multi-billionaire journalist. Well maybe not!!!!! She is a red neck (red neck is her grandbaby daddy’s words)with a pregnant 15 year old daughter. If she can help anyone she should have talked to her daughter and maybe she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant at 15. Sarah couldn’t lead me to water if I was dying of thirst, let alone lead the country.

Oprah is a damned liar. She had Obama on her show before the actual campaign started, but that was part of the plan. Obama had been running for President ever since he got in the Senate. Why do you think the books came out on him? What had he ever done to write a book about? He never wrote a law. He never wrote a budget. He never had executive experience, but he did have Oprah and the rest of the Hollywood perverts. Oprah voted for Obama because he was a Dumbocrat and Black. There was no other reason. Sarah Palin is a White Republican; that’s reason enough to keep her off the show. But, who the heck cares? I never watch Oprah anyway.

I hope she NEVER goes on Oprah’s show! And I hope the white women who DIDN’T drink the Kool-Aid stop supporting her with their subscriptions and viewership. While not exactly my cup of tea, Sarah Palin doesn’t need Oprah to sell her book, and in fact, I bet she’d actually lose support if she goes on Oprah’s show. Serves her right! And you white women who drank the Kool-Aid, shame on you for not supporting HRC, who was the best candidate!

If Oprah treated me the way she did Gov. Palin I would not go on her show,
I would not answer her phone calls, I would not speak to her at all.Oprah was obviously biased for Obama and could not contain that feeling, not even to make herself look professional instead of a partisan hack. If Oprha thinks Palin will talk to her after the way she treated Palin she is delusional and ignorant. If you treat people with comtempt and disdain you should not be surprised when they snub you. Oprah is not someone I would care to be in the same room with. Oprah is niave, petty and ignorant. Sarah Palin is the Govenor of Alaska and Oprah is a morning varitley show host. I don’t wacth Oprah because it is a really vapid show. I don’t know anyone that watches Oprah. Why are we wasting time discussing a morning talk show. Who watches that crap?

Sarah, if you are reading all the comments, please do not go on the Oprah show! You do not need her to sell your book so she can further her ratings and her own interest. Your book will be #1 without her.

OPRAH WAS A JOURNALIST BEFORE SHE BECAME A TALK HOST SHOW HOST. SHE DOESN’T NEED SARAH PALIN ON HER SHOW FOR RATINGS, OPRAH IS A MULTI-BILLIONAIRE. IF SARAH PALIN WENT ON OPRAH’S SHOW, SHE COULD ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS COMING HER WAY. SHE CAN HANDLE HERSELF QUITE NICELY. GIVE SARAH SOME CREDIT.

Oprah is a joke. Now that air time for Palin won’t give her a boost over Oprah’s false god, Oprah now wants Palin on her show. No reason to subject yourself to Oprah’s phony smarminess, Sarah. You made it this far without Oprah, and you’ll replace Obama in 2012 without her. You go, girl!

I cannot for the life of me see how Oprah is so popular. Her show is on during the daytime and how the heck does anyone have the time to watch it. Are not people working when it is on? I’v probably seen her show once or twice. I agree that Sarah Palin does not need Oprah and I sure hope she does not go on her show.

Please, please Sarah . Do not , not go on that show with that Obamaite. Not now, not ever and certainly not when you are President oh the USA. Let Miss. Liberal Oprah sink with her media construct “Bubblehead Barrack”.
