Oprah is probably the most powerful person in the media. Her audience laps up whatever she says. She may be a Dem, but we should be thankful she's not even more hostile to conservative causes. She treated Bush pretty well during the campaign.
As an aside, a friend of mine got into the Oprah show when Bush was on during his first campaign by saying that she was "undecided" about whom to vote for. When she was on the show, she led the cheers from the audience, perhaps to Oprah's dismay.
No, she's one of those insidious forces in the culture, that constantly undermines conservative causes.
She is a big fake, who has scored the "naptime" time slot, so stay-at-home moms watch her.
But her book club, and the choices she makes for it, really are what steam me. Am so glad to see her hoisted on her own petard with the book club.
