WHEN will we give up, as a people, giving a shit about the Opra Winfreys, Michael Moores, George Clooneys, etc. These people are just lunatics that are given a forum by fellow lunatics who own the forum.

The “staff divided” reference is the one detail I’m interested in. :)

I think Oprah is about to step in it with the other foot shortly.

It’s called, “Oprah’s chickens are coming home to roost”

ie: “You can fool some of the people all the time, some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time”

Looks as if some percentage of Oprah’s fans and staff are beginning to see her in a whole new light.

When the bloom comes off the rose, it is never pretty.

Hee hee hee

No, I think some of her staffers are pragmatic are realize that ratings equals job security. If Oprah goes down with the sinking Obama, maybe not as many 'Associate Producers' will be needed at Harpo Studios.

Yes, we rarely hear complaints from Oprah staff. Looks like that may change and real details may leak out that don’t portray Oprah as a saint.

I hope Oprah goes down with Obama. That would be Great! This does have every chance of backfiring on her.

"It just goes to show you folks, if Obama loses in November, things are going to get real ugly, I think there will be riots."

Not "if", WHEN.

My timing was off on my prediction for when Michelle Obama would be engaging in the cat fight of the century. I thought it would occur between her and Mrs. Clinton at the 'Rat convention. I still think it will occur, but now must expand her targets to include Sarah-cuda.

Hee hee hee

Heh - it’s too late anyway. That song is already associated with Gov. Palin, so any time it’s played, anywhere, she’s going to be the person who comes to mind.

If I’m not mistaken, as long as they are not making a “profit” off the playing of the song, all they need to do is pay the proper royalties to ASCAP. Like a restaurant owner who plays a Sinatra CD for ambience - he doesn’t need to buy the rights, just pay the fee to broadcast it in a commercial setting.

"TRACTION, BABY - WE GOT TRACTION!"

The suffocating smear 'siege' laid by the RAT/LIBS on Palin and the entire Republican/Conservative spectrum that began last Saturday .... ended WED NIGHT with a PALIN NUCLEAR NEUTRON POLITICAL MISSLE explosion at ground zero of the XCEL CENTER that is now causing a massive expanding wave of confusion and backlash against the enemy throughout the country!

Like most Hypocrats, she’s torn between being racist or sexist.

“Half of her staff really want Sarah Palin her on,” an insider explains. “Oprah’s website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama.”

One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!

Gee, I guess the moral of the story is that when you are an entertainer, you should keep your views under wraps and treat all candidates equally, since I am sure there are differing political parties within Oprah's audience. Duh!

She just wants a reason to take early retirement.

Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America — but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket!

Ask any Black democrat if they would vote for a Black Republican and they will answer "NO" or "H*** No".

doesn’t matter...Rush, Hannity, Levin, Savage, and the rest will be all over it.

Palin will get more publicity by having Oprah diss her - seems like the lefty media never learn.

she had close to 40 million people watch her on Wednesday night - the MSM will be fawning over her - Letterman will have her on his show - Oprah will be shown to be the idiot that she is.

I have never been an Oprah fan and have only watched a handful of her shows. I hope Sarah goes on Ellen - disagree with her sex life and politics, but she is funny and very nice to her guests. She hates Bush but treated Laura and her daughter very well when they appeared. I kinda doubt Palin will be asked to be on any of those shows because it is obvious she’ll reel in new voters if she does. But, then again, ratings will go through the roof. Libs are in a conundrum here.

Palin/GOP won’t even respond to the shill. Well, maybe a one word response.

I was thinking two words, myself.
