123beta: Oprah's Fall From Grace

"I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over". – Oprah Winfrey, September 5. 2008

Ah, but alias, the common folk see through her lies and bias...

Actual comments from her site/blog:

"Well, I am not surprised. As someone who HAD enjoyed everything Oprah for years I had become very disappointed in some of her decisions on the political front and this one is not exception". girl45211

This is very dissapointing (sic) Oprah. I was a huge fan of yours for the longest time. We had pictures taken with you after the Chicago Marathon a number of years back. Our group of girlfriends thought you were "the bomb". I wish you had decided to stay out of the political spotlight. Why are so many celebrity types liberals? johndodd

Oprah, thank you so much for responding. I have watched your show, listened to your advice and benefitted (sic) from your giving Spirit over the years and I am heart sick that you are not going to have Sarah Palin on your show prior to the election. Everyone knows you are an Obama supporter and that is terrific for you (and for him), however, hasn't your message over the years been to raise women up to be the fullest, best person they can be? Was it all a lie? spirit1966

This statement is laughable! Oprah, you are where you are at because of your show! If you were Plain-Jane average citizen would your endorsement of Obama have even mattered or been big news? I think not. You are trying to paint your show as non-partisan by not having Gov. Palin on? The minute you stepped on the stage with Obama, you, and your show, became political. wi4mccain
