Is Sarah Palin intentionally snubbing Oprah?

By Courtney Hazlett

The Scoop

updated 9:31 p.m. ET, Thurs., Dec. 4, 2008

Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has basically spoken in front of most cameras put before her. So why has she yet to appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show"?

Winfrey, who won’t be hosting her own ball for President-elect Barack Obama during the inauguration but will broadcast her show from D.C. that week, hasn’t forgotten about having the governor on.

In fact, she seems surprised that Palin hasn’t come on the show yet, despite her efforts.

"I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over," Winfrey told Extra. "I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta Van Susteren. She talked to Matt Lauer. She talked to Larry King, but she didn't talk to me. But maybe she'll talk to me now that she has a book deal."

Sarah should tell Oprah that she’ll be glad to appear on her show in Oct. or Nov of 2010 (if running for Senate) or 2012, if running for POTUS.
Otherwise she should tell Oprah, “I have no use for you, so piss off.”

News flash for The Oprah: Some people just don’t think you’re all that special.

Maybe Sarah’s thinking about competing with Oprah’s show by starting one of her own.

It’s a free country. Governor Palin can speak with whomever she chooses. I love all these talk show hosts who think it is their RIGHT to have this person or that person come on their show. I respect Gov Palin for her own decisions.

I wouldn't have any respect for Palin's intelligence if she willingly submitted to another Couric/Gibson-style "hit" interview.

If she allows that to happen again it will show she is tone deaf and naive. I like Sarah alot but she has to show these idiots in the media who is in charge if she ever hopes to run for the presidency. Obama was elected because of media bias plain and simple. The media is Sarah's enemy and needs to be treated as such. Interviews on HER terms, her questions, her crew taping as well. Hell, Id make these a-holes sign a contract with specifics of the interview in it EVERY time. Gibson and the table gnawing shrew Couric would be told not to bother ever contacting Sarah for anything. Screw em.

I think she should stay away from the Oprah. She wouldn’t have Sarah on her show during the election cycle, which told me her race was more important than her gender. I have seen some “nice” reporting on Sarah lately, now that the election is over. I think there are people who were advocating the election of Obama who now want to soothe their guilty consciences for the way they treated the historical vice-presidential run of Sarah Palin by inviting her on their programs. I think she should be selective as to who she gives her time.

Like the posters before me, my first thought was I hope so!

I'm with all of you but to an extent.

I do hope that Sarah continues to snub Oprabama. Oprabama apparently wants Sarah more than Sarah needs Oprabama.

My slight difference with the other posters is that I don't want the snub to continue forever. I want Sarah on Oprabama's show when the election cycle starts up again. That would be in 2012. Let's see if Oprabama will then want Sarah on at the same time that she will want to have Obama on to show her support for him. Le'ts see if she will want to give equal time to Sarah before the general election cycle gets underway in 2012.

Untile then, Sarah should continue showing up at more deserving venues and shows.

If I were Sarah, I would tell her I would be happy to talk to her when and if I run in 2012.

Say 2011 or there abouts.

Why shouldn’t she? Oprah intentionally “snubbed” Sarah during the campaign and wouldn’t interview her. Now that the election has turned out to Oprah’s satisfaction, she wants to interview her. I would say “sure”. When HELL freezes over.
