I don’t believe any of what is being reported as it relates to Oprah essentially banning Sarah Palin from her show. No way, I don’t buy it. Oprah has had countless people on her show over the years that have opposing views from hers. And to that point, it seems insulting to assume that because she supported one candidate over another, that she would snub the opponent. That would be pretty juvenile and I just don’t see Oprah being that petty.

Why did Oprah have to make a public statement about this? It’s a bit odd. I wonder who the specific source was for this article. It maybe more awkward for Oprah however in some ways she put herself in that position. I will be supporting Gov. Palin by purchasing the book. I recall Obama being on a couple of shows about his book and he was working at the time. If you are going to talk about Alaska then let’s talk about Chicago. So there is no need for the double standard.

I appreciate the desire to sieze the moment however, it appears that the state of Alaska can run itself… so much for “executive experience”. Is this person ever going to go back to Alaska and at least pretend to play Governor ?

You know, we are all different and a whole lot of people don’t like Oprah or Sarah Palin. The point is, women, even the young ones today, have problems with other women either out of jealousy, spite, you name it. Whether Oprah has Sarah Palin on her show or not is not going to insult Barack Obama or anyone on his staff. unless they’re woefully are caught up in an emotional juvenile world.. By the way - just how do people advertize their web-sites on WoW? I mean, I’m no Sarah Palin and God knows no one offered me even $7 for my book, but if Wow allows random advertisement, why not at least faeture people who read and are a part of your community?

Good article, read the whole thing at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/sarah-palin-the-new-and-e_b_1482… “Sarah Palin: The New and ‘Explosive’ Leader of the GOP” excerpt: “For instance, apart from her unserious pageant walking and clueless turkey geeking, it’s practically impossible for Sarah Palin, with her far-right ideology and divisive politics, to expand a Republican electorate that’s already suffering from, well, shrinkage. Her appeal is so laser-focused on a rabidly fanboy-ish chunk of the GOP base that many more Americans who would otherwise vote Republican will surely continue to snap to other options. Meanwhile, the Palin base — the fanboys who are “exploding” over Sarah Palin — are a mélange of Bush dead-enders, disgruntled former Bush loyalists who haven’t yet realized that the only difference between Palin and Bush is, well, lipstick, and, of course, way too many disturbingly pervy older men. Outside of this narrow demographic, everyone else thinks she’s more or less an earnest yet embarrassing joke.” “As of right now, we have several contenders for this post. There’s “Sister Sarah” (a nickname I don’t quite understand). There’s the twice divorced former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. There’s Bobby Jindal, the far-right governor of Louisiana. And Tuesday, we learned that Jeb Bush might be running for Senate and thus throwing his gigantic hat into the fight for the future of the party. How screwed are the Republicans right now? Put it this way: the sanest contender in the above list is named “Bush.” Yes, Bush: a name that proved to be even less popular this year than the name “Hussein.” Yet there he is front and center.” “So we have an exorcist, a Bush, a turkey geeker who makes people explode, and Newt, who, by the way, wrote a book imagining if the South had won the Civil War. If these cable reality show misfits represent the future of the Republican Party, it’s going to be a seriously entertaining four years.”
