I can not forget the cold reception Oprah gave Condi when she appeared on Oprah's show.

I like Oprah very much. She is obviously brilliant, imaginative, creative, and a very good person. I like her public persona, and, one never knows until one is actually in the situation, and I have never met Oprah, but I think I would like her personally.

But she has a stunning disconnect.

It is deeply disturbing to see her swooning, praising outrageously, and falling all over mindless, semi-literate "celebrities" but giving the cold shoulder to someone truly outstanding, accomplished, and as brilliant as Oprah herself, like Dr. Rice.

Have I misperceived this? Does anyone else have this same impression, or is it just me?

"Bush has not only visited family he has called each and every one of them."

And he's visited the wounded at the hospital.

..giving the cold shoulder to someone truly outstanding, accomplished, and as brilliant as Oprah herself, like Dr. Rice.

..never discount that ole tried and true thing called 'jealousy'.

[Guenevere]

#21...Oprah's personification of being.. 'just like you'....is an illusion of the highest order.

She should win an academy award.

Her true allegiance is exactly what you stated....with the ultra liberal, mindless so called celebrities, ie, Streisand, and ilk.

She has snookered many, and I hope you realize this!

[wizardoz]

Condi is everything Oprah wishes she were, I suspect.

Condi is everything Oprah wishes she were, I suspect.

Oprah has a certain brilliance as measured by her success at doing 'what she does'. But, compared to Dr. Rice, in the world of reality Oprah is a 25 watt bulb.

[hchutch]

Have Condi as Jeb's VP in `08. In 2016, she takes the top slot. :)

[hillary's_fat_a**]

..... if she's through changing with the bed linens and towels .....

Yea, does anybody have that great pic of Maddie as a maid? Did Registered do that one? I laughed for days at that pic!

[GraniteStateConservative]

Al Haig ran and he'd not been a politician.

Condi and Oprah are friends, so you can draw your own conclusions about your misperceptions.

"In all my years of interviewing, I have never been prouder to spell my name woman than after spending time with Condoleezza Rice." --Oprah

[section9]

Jeb won't run in 2008. Can't have one Bush running after the other. People will be tired of the Bushes in 2008; Republicans will need to offer change. Condi will be that change.

You don't go up against the Hildebeast with another Bush. You beat the Hildebeast with a smarter woman.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

And the Leftists wonder why we question their patriotism

That's why I didn't watch any coverage this morning. I didn't want to hear ANY of them taint and distort the wonderful thing he did for the troops. I don't understand how anyone could have watched the coverage of the President's trip yesterday and not be moved by the moment. They can't see past their own hatred of the man. I just knew they all would be overanalyzing and criticizing him this morning. They do such a disservice to the troops by bashing their Commander in Chief. The media and the rats are such losers.

"... IMHO she should prove herself by running against Boxer for senator. She should stay out of presidential politics until she proves herself. Otherwise it would look like pandering of the worst sort. ..."

Agreed. Without actually researching it, I can't think of any president in the past century except Eisenhower who had not won at least one election. She does carry some unwanted baggage; wrong on abortion, and weak on limited government, but I certainly would vote for her against any democrat I can think of. She is as proudly American as anyone could be.

[dwilli]

i think the two major parties biggest blunders are:Republicans never pushing Jeanne Kirkpatrick to
be on a national ticket: democrats never putting
Sam Nunn at the top of the ballot in the presidential race.

[lavrenti]

Hear, hear. Condi has no electoral experience, however. This is why Hillary! had to get a senate seat.

However, Condi is in the process of creating a public persona that has begun to overwhelm others in the administration. Colin Powell, for example, is playing the Abba Eban role, eschewing national politics for the daunting tasks of high-stakes diplomacy (after this war, I bet his role will be revealed as most vital--the Indo-Pak crisis last year very nearly turned into a major war; the Bush/Powell intervention may been seen years later as the turnaround in American handling of regional crisis).

Condi is seemingly the voice who speaks when W. cannot. I think she's going to surprise people in the next year or so.

Just by doing her job.

[SuziQ]

Have I misperceived this? Does anyone else have this same impression, or is it just me?

Well, I'd agree with you that Condi is brilliant, but I wouldn't necessarily describe Oprah in those terms. She is a savvy businesswoman, and knows how to schmooze, but she's too blinded by celebrity to be brilliant.

[Lancey Howard]

but giving the cold shoulder to someone truly outstanding, accomplished, and as brilliant as Oprah herself, like Dr. Rice.

There you go. A black female is smarter and even more accomplished than Oprah - - and Oprah doesn't like it. Oprah has always been number one, but not anymore. Now she's number two.

[sharkhawk]

I know there is a thread out there somewhere, where the press played it up that the fiancee (although the press reported it as the wife) of one of the soldiers killed in a helocopter crash, didn't want to go with the rest of the families to meet with Bush. How did that happen if he didn't meet with any families? Another typical RAT lie.

[StriperSniper]

Oprah has a certain brilliance as measured by her success at doing 'what she does'.

Her greatest coup was when she decided she wanted a part of the ownership of her show. That was at a time when that was not the standard MO and she got real lucky that it worked out so big. I'll give her lots of credit for managing and expanding on that since, but 90% of her wealth can be traced back to that one decision.

[StriperSniper]

You beat the Hildebeast with a smarter woman.

Jenna Jameson? Works for me. ;-)
