I disagree.

What do you disagree with?? That Oprah has an inflated opinion of herself, or that she is irrelevent??

[nascarnation]

that she is irrelevant
she has a lot of influence with her audience
she gave Baraq a lot of early credibility, especially when the Rev Wright temple of hate story broke

Actually, she squandered a lot of HER credibility. Her popularity has fallen as a result and, IMO, it is one of the reasons she is leaving her TV show.

That may be true after Baraq assumed office and was revealed to be the real Baraq.

But back in early 2008, Oprah had a huge role in establishing Baraq’s credibility, especially vs. Hillary.

You give her way too much credit. zero got his credibility from lazy, incompetent, partisan DBM lackeys who endlessly promoted him and Euroweenies who knew less about him than we did!

Let me re-phrase this for you - she has a lot of influence with her audience.

Her audience consists primarily of liberal women whose sole occupation is shopping and deciding how the rest of us should live . . . . . . . as long as they don't have to live the same way!
