She's done NOTHING different than other talk show hosts have done... she brings no special talent. Her success has been manufactured by the press, and the reason for her support of Obama is thinly veiled.
Except outlast them all and build an empire making her the richest women in entertainment. She didn't inherit it or marry it. She made it.
I may not care for her style or politics, but if she is a manufactured success it is self manufactured and I can respect that.
