From my understanding, it only took Oprah about 3 years listening to Rev Wright’s rhetoric to leave the Church because she knew it wasn’t for her, I’ll give Oprah some credit for that instinct of knowing what wasn’t good for her.

VAN SUSTEREN: Well, I don’t mean to quibble with you, but it took 20 years until, you know, people started playing it on TV, for him to get the message. And Oprah, for whatever reason, got the message sooner on her own.
Thanks for the explanation, Son House.
Speaking of Oprah.......Oprah’s bff, Gale King, did the CBS interview with Michelle complaining about being portrayed as the “angry, black woman” in Jodi Kantor’s book. I think Michelle not only chose Gale because they are friends (and would thus give a sympathetic interview), but because she made Michelle look trim. (Did I just write that?)
