Here is a woman at the very top of it all, having succeeded against all odds, attained fame, fortune, power, adulation beyond imagination, surely believing that her rise to the very pinnacle of it all has as yet not been fully realized.
Oooh, boy. Vanity is an indulgence overwhelming seductive, insidious. Some corporate genius whispering into her ear, "You are great, You are all-powerful, You are capable of anything. Leveraging your rink-dink TV show to create the OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK is already a done deal".
How does a new network with such disastrous ratings manage to survive, I wonder?
Maybe she needs to get Keith Olbermann on her network.
the further her ratings and influence fall, the better.
Maybe OWN should inquire about airing season 2 of Sarah Palin’s Alaska. That would probably increase the ratings.
Money.
Being the president's #1 shill likely helps, too.
Or was that a rhetorical question? :-)
BS will get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.......
The trash can only sit outside for so long. Eventually it needs to be taken out to the dump where it rightfully belongs
lol. Yes, it was. :-)
Right now I’m DVRing her show.
I’m an employee of Weight Watchers...:)
Our Jennifer Hudson is on and she looks beautiful!
The latest generation of young white women aren’t listening
to her baloney!
She needs a sidekick. Like Barney Fife!
Frankly..., “OWN”? Seriously?
Just the OWN label alone would cause me to take a pass, someone egocentric enough to use the word “OWN” to label her new network holdings.
What’s the matter Oprah, run out of free cars and other gifts to buy your viewers loyalty?
Eee gads, what a mammoth ego on this woman.
She seems nice enough if you watch, but her views are diametrically opposed to my own. It’s my take that she is a massive insidious negative. Ladies, turn off the tube and get a life.
Remember, this bimbo championed the Islamic Lord of Lords to be president. That alone would cause me to change the channel, if her other thousands of ignoramus comments hadn’t already done so.
Now, on to the next Leftist actor/actress who can trash wholesome values for the masses.
LOL! She has a sidekick, Gail.
toad
She is a middle age woman who has no husband, no children and she is giving advice to women on how to be happy!
I thought chrissie “tingle up my leg” mathews was 0bummer’s #1 shill.
Breaking News from OWN: Dr. Phil to go on the Dr. Phil diet! (and grow some hair)
OWN has a billion dollar advertising deal with Procter & Gamble over several years. You’d be surprised how many cable channels get few viewers and still stick around.
Yeah, her “boyfriend” Stedman Graham, the one she was once “engaged” to, hasn’t been seen in ages.
Well after all, the Universe is speaking through her. I guess the Universe wants its own network. [/sarcasm]
