So, the lesbian, racist, “black,” overweight, worthless former TV host is on the downside of the mountain? How awful! I’m waiting for the crash.

It was a racist obligation.

Discovery chanel network who caught the HopeyChangey fever DESERVES Orca.

Only some of their programs are watchable. (True for other corporates). But none courted her away from the alphabet network. A cash cow, HA!

Not so much since she doesn’t have much airtime anymore, and that next to none of the people she gave a car to couldn’t poney up the taxes on them.

Good. I detest this whale almost as much as I do the kenyan. Her stupid audience members are not far behind in my disdain.

I am an avid reader and I swear, any time I pick up a book and it has anything with to do with the “Oprah” seal of approval, I put it right back. I have never needed that thing to tell me what religion (of the week) to worship in, what book to read, or what politician to vote for.

I love the fact that this woman’s network is tanking.

Yeah, but those last two months he's in office, he's going to thoroughly finish off this country.

I have to agree that she lost a huge audience when she put all in for Obama. You knew it was a race thing and it linked her right into the Chicago way!

I could not stand watching her after that. Such a shame!

Well, I guess she’ll go eat a whole pie or four in frustration now. She may have to fly out of NYC to get a big coke to wash it down with however.
