Isn't that a figurine of Yaphet Kotto in drag?
Fried Oprah isn't.
Wonder how eager she would be to give all of her wealth to the
poor? No, not just a donation here an there but all of her wealth down to the last penny. I am guessing that she wouldn't want to.
She believes in Socialism, right?
The problem with most socialists is they believe the hype of the rich bolsheviks who end up with all the power and even more wealth then they had before the "revolution". Socialism is proof of evolution. Because socialism allows the most motivated, smartest, and most cunning to garner the power and wealth. Just take a look a China today. 90% of the wealth is in about 2% of the populations hands.
I just ha.......
Nevermind.
I may watch Oprah once every 6 months and don't read her magazine, but she is a true American success story. I'd rather have a conversation with her than any of the other loud mouth celebrity libs who are all talk and no action. At least she is of service - she walks the walk.
Yep, all of those and then some.
Did see a few of her shows years ago. Now we do not watch her show and have no intention of ever watching her show.
"No matter who you are, Oprah is NOT like you."
Brandon Renken, we who are about to rock salute you.
"There are so many lemmings following behind her, she'll depopulate the country if she ever runs into the sea. It wouldn't be much of a loss."
Preach it, Doctor!
When you really come down to it, Oprah is not very bright.
Some of her book choices have been good; her political pronouncements , and candidates she has chosen to say a good word about have been abysmal. I give her credit for one influential show with Dr. Mehmet Oz, where diseased organs were uncovered onstage next to healthy organs, as the Dr. explained what had happened to lungs, hearts, kidneys,etc.
when their owners abused them.
That show, buttressed by my daughter's habit of crying whenever she smelled smoke coming from the basement, goaded me to QUIT smoking for the SECOND AND FINAL TIME 25 months ago. I DO give her credit for that. HOWEVER, it IS a bit much, month after month, to pass through the supermarket checkout line, and see O Magazine with ONLY HER picture on the cover every month, to watch the transparently sadistic crucifixion of an author who she apparently thinks "crossed her" and make her feel foolish for having supported him, (but made him a millionaire anyway), and having to watch her overenthusiastic , crazy-eyed followers int the audience ( I call them the Oprahaniacs )get so hyped up over every word from their Queen that I could swear they were all transfused with speed while they waited in line to get in.I knew this day would come: the Frey thing was the tipping point that ushered in the Age of I Hate Oprah, and I doubt she has the self-awareness to feel the need even from an image standpoint of owning up to the lack of judgemen shown in the staged flogging of James Frey.
I always thought she was basically slick from Day One, and can think of a dozen examples of it from over the years, and hell, I don't even watch her show.
Good article.
Okra Windbag needs to get off the tv.
That's very sad, but typical of Oprah's agenda. Religion is taboo, especially christianity, and completely censored to be able to appeal to to the widest audience. Doesn't fit with the new-agey format.
I won't completely diss Oprah as a person because as she's grown older, she does some quality charity work, but she's a sellout for ratings and censors religious subjects all in the name of the making a buck. Her show is very orchestrated and she doesn't take any risks.
What's an oprah?
Is that one of them flash elitist black and white minstrel type shows in which overweight people wabble about warbling to one another in Wop?
[With apologies to all our Italian FRiends for the poetic license]
<< I loathe Okra. >>
I can take the Nashville one in small doses.
bump
Every time I come home and find my wife watching Oprah, I shudder.......
OK. What horrible perceived transgression am I now going to be accused of/blamed for......
All because of Oprah.
I'm a man. I freely admit it. Guilty as charged.
When I'm not thinking about either the Army, Scuba diving, or organizing the family finances, the cricket's are chirping in the back-ground.
When Oprah went to Katrina and made those racist toned statements you know it was obviously aimed at FEMA and Bush, it made me gag.
