Oprah Winfrey fired back at the White House yesterday - saying she felt "extremely used" by the Bush administration for implying that she was too busy to tour Afghanistan schools on behalf of President Bush. Winfrey called her pal, "The View" co-host Star Jones, before yesterday's show and told Jones the story "was just not true."

So she is fund-raising, huh? Probably for Hillary or Algor, or one of the other commie politicians she kisses up to a lot!

When I read this earlier today, I was trying to figure how come they didn't name the charities.

The publicity would have help them raise more money!!!

Good point. It causes one to conclude Oprah's cover story was simply bogus.

"She did say, 'Star, I felt extremely used by the Bush administration.'

How did they use her? I don't understand that wording.

She screwed up. Now she's playing the blame game. That's the whole story. Period.

Windbag is a product of liberal media hype same as BS straisand, and most hollywooders without any talent. There would be no pain to any Freepers in giving these ungratefull, self absorbed scums some freetime.

LOL! "Thank you for not bothering me, Grampa Dave."

That bloated idiot is so self-obsessed that she just could not resist seeking public recognition from you. Yet she is so arrogant that she tried to spin it as a gracious "thank you" for recognizing how important and untouchable she is.

The mental gymnastics involved in seeking recognition from you while attempting to maintain the illusion that she eschews all recognition must have just about torn her little pig brain apart.

She'll have to invent a few to CHA what with her WH debacle.

Living in Kali land and flying up and down the state, you will run into a lot of the Follywood types. Even on the Rogue River in Oregon from Shady Cove to Gold Beach on the coast, there are a lot of these critters around.

3 years ago a local tv talking head news guy was in the SF airport standing in the middle of the UA concourse wanting people to see him and glaring at them if they came close to him and ignoring them if they tried to talk to them.

This lefty clown is rather big, has some wild hair due to some transplant semi successes and really looks like someone you want to avoid.

So he stands in the middle of the concourse and my plane gets called for boarding. As I passed him he thanked me for not trying to talk to him.

I replied that I never talked to big agitated, wild eyed and dangerous looking guys and walked on. Another passenger later on in the line wanted to know what I said to big Pete.

I asked the passenger why, and he said big Pete looked angry at first and then looked like he was going to cry. I told the other passenger what I said and he and his wife roared. Big mean Pete heard and looked up and I just grinned and shook my head and went to board my plane.

This was before Orca had hired her personal trainer and chef, if she could have lost 20-30 pounds. She was really big, and my son said that he was afraid that she might kick both of our butts after I made my comment to her.

The other woman you don't want to get mad at you, is the Klingon, Big Bad, Mad Maxie Pad Waters, the congressit from the LaLa area.
