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?

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

#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!

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

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.

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.

Believe me, they are friends, She may have appeared that way to you because she did not want to appear closer to Condi Rice than she really is. Remember the photo of her and Condi and Gail at the White House and the boob joke?
