Only Oprah Winfrey’s problem seems to be one of self immolation by association vice actual flames tickling her toes.

For such a carefully cultivated image after all these decades, old girl’s been coming apart at the seams these past few weeks, with jarring, insensitive gazillionaire misstep after misstep.

The things that might have passed unnoticed otherwise have been magnified by the enormous loss of life and property, the scope of the overall devastation, parcity of the emergency and relief response, and miserable performance of elected officials.

Let’s face it – Maui residents are pissed off.

They might have been a little torqued that the billionaire on the island escaped unscathed while they were wiped out. That festered some – even to the point of accusations of hiring firefighters for her estate making USA Today.

Hopefully then the upcoming “Color Purple” musical movie will be a flop.

I got dragged to see that musical on Broadway. While a couple of the performers had wonderful voices, the entire show left me cold. Will definitely skip the movie.

I didn’t even know they made a Broadway play on it.

Oh yeah they did. It closed late in 2016.

This lard-ass who preaches weight loss thru WW while she gets it done surgically, tells us how to raise our kids and is very pro abortion but doesn’t have any of her own, tells us how to fix marriages but she’s never been married, could reach into her own pockets to pull out a billion or two to restore whole neighborhoods, but you know she won’t. One of the PHOTO OP QUEENS.

Some people incorrectly use “vice” instead of “versus” (perhaps confused by “vice versa” which is something different again).

Shouldn’t happen to a writer, but there you go in these days of internet columnists. An editor should’ve corrected her.
