Is Sarah Palin intentionally snubbing Oprah?

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."

I would!

Uh, Oprah, Sarah Palin has a real job: it's called Governor of Alaska and she probably has to go home and catch up on an 8 week backlog.

[Londo Molari]

It would like having an audience with Jabba the Hutt.

[Doc Savage]

God, let’s hope so!

[Aquinasfan]

Right now Sarah is visualizing a snub of the Queen of the New Age Nutjobs. Visualize success Sarah, and it will be yours.

[netmilsmom]

Let me add...I hope so!

[GOP Poet]

Let's just say based on Oprah's behavior toward Governor Sarah Palin, Oprah is not a priority. We teach people how to treat us.

I wish I watched her show just so I could stop watching it now. Can she be that stupid as to not figure out why Palin won't appear on her show? I don't really know if anyone competes with Oprah in that time slot, but if there is someone, I sure hope Palin goes on that show.

[siamesecats]

You go Sarah! She deserves to be snubbed.

[UCANSEE2]

So far, it’s 100% “YES”.

[poobear]

Oh, come on Sarah, behave like some of those “nice white folk” and come to Oprah's Plantation and exclaim your white guilt.

[VanillaBlizzard]

I’m pretty sure Oprah snubbed Palin during the election....double standards are coming back to us.....

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Why would Governor Palin even consider rewarding Oprah after the way Oprah dissed her during the campaign.

BIG DILEMMA: OPRAH BALKS AT HOSTING SARAH PALIN; STAFF DIVIDED

Oprah gets a backlash from her viewers

[jrooney]

Screw you Oprah. You snubbed Palin and supported Obama because he is black. When have you ever campaigned for a white candidate? You have not.

So now ole Sarah is snubbing Oprah the queen. Good. Sarah is a class act. Oprah is not.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Is Sarah snubbing Oprah...YOU BETCHA!!!
Sarah doesn’t need that liberal hack to get popularity. All she has to do is announce she is going somewhere and she gets 10,000 people to show up. Oprah’s ratings have dropped like the stock market since she endorsed the “messiah” She needs Sarah, Sarah doesn’t need Oprah and she knows it. Sarah knows who the creeps were during this election, she knows who treated her like crap, and she refuses to give them a second of her time. Good for her. Oprah can meet Sarah, at Sarah’s inauguration in 2013 when she is elected our first female President. GET USED TO IT LIBS!!

[Antoninus]

Who’s Oprah?

[austinaero]

Wow, this article is written as though Oprah is a legitimate journalist and the Governor has an obligation to appear on her show. I hope Sarah NEVER lowers herself to appear on that show, or ‘The Spew’ for that matter.

[austinaero]

“But maybe she’ll talk to me now that she has a book deal.”

Oprah is a pompous BEYYYOTTTCH!

[manc]

hope she is.

why anyone watches that God awful show is beyond me anyway.

She is a racist and yet the media and her brain dead viewers love her

[BenLurkin]

Apparently so.
