Snubbed by Palin, Oprah is fuming now

Oprah Winfrey has slammed Sarah Palin after the failed Republican vice-presidential candidate snubbed offers to appear on the chat queen’s show. While Palin did make an appearance on other US hosts Greta Van Susteren, Matt Lauer and Larry King’s shows to talked about her unsuccessful bid to reach the White House, but she ignored ‘The Oprah Show’ despite being invited.

And such mistreatment has left Oprah bitter and she has now claimed that the Alaskan governor will be desperate to talk to her when she releases her memoirs.

"I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over... I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta. She talked to Matt. She talked to Larry. But she didn't talk to me. Maybe she'll talk to me now that she has a (multi-million dollar) book deal,” Contactmusic quoted Oprah as saying.

The US TV titan has been a committed supporter of US President-elect Barack Obama throughout his campaign for the White House.

She will also host her show from Washington, D.C. the day before his inauguration in January (09).

Wonderful article. At first, I bit - then it became patently evident just “who” the “guest” was. - My Dad got a tv early on as he was always pretty “progressive”. My first favorite program was “Howdy Doody”. In retrospect, “Doody” might well have been a good name for T.V. instead.

I’m 62 and “Doody” has been present in my life for at least 56 years - getting regressively worse all the time. My husband was raised with no TV as his mother wouldn’t allow one in the house (the best thing really). Only, it made him rebellious about not “having” what all the other kids had. So, when we were married (44 yrs. now), TV, newspapers, crosswords and other puzzles became his mistresses. Our family suffered for it. I haven’t watched daytime TV in 37 years, and some nighttime TV is harder for me to get rid of on PBS. I’d toss the thing if it were up to me, the only saving grace for it is the weather forecast. The “news” I could do without.

FUGLY

Oprah Windbag is the most overrated person in American history. Period. That is a fact that is not debatable.

An interesting cautionary tale, Twinkie, for those who would fight pop culture in toto. Where to draw the line?

Sarah Palin does not need an Oprah to promote her book...the book will sell itself.

I just hope that if Orca ever is 'slain in the spirit' and falls backward, that they've got a minimum 6-man crew to catch her, otherwise that elevated stage is goin' DOWN!, lol

Golly Gee. The Governor of the largest State should ignore finalizing the Natural Gas Pipeline and do really really important stuff like suck up to what's 'er name.

Yeah. Right.

Oprah refuses to have her on to help Palin’s political chances and now is made she won't come on?

Megalomaniac? Hope Palin never visits the show and rocks Obama in 2012.

Have a Twinkie and shut up, Oprah.

She'd have to interview him first.

I’ve never understood the popularity of the Oprah Show. The concept is an overweight woman, sitting on a couch with a microphone, lording her eight-figure paycheck over people with five-figure paychecks if they are lucky. She recommends books that she doesn’t read, gives away gifts that she hasn’t paid for and dispenses advice that she hasn’t followed. You’d have to be a masochist to sit and watch such a show. Palin shows intelligence by not enabling the Oprah pandering.

Excellent analysis.

“Paybacks a bitch...”

Ditto. You didn’t want her on during the election so your messiah could win, too late now.

If it weren’t for Free Republic, I would never have heard of Ophrah. I’ve never watched her program, never will.
