Oprah to Palin: I Can Pencil You In Later

Posted Sep 5th 2008 1:41PM by TMZ Staff

Oprah has issued a statement to TMZ -- she won't put Sarah Palin on her show until after the election.

Here's the statement: "The item in today's Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, 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."

For the record, Barack Obama has been on "Oprah" twice -- in January, 2005 and again in October, 2006 -- before he announced his run for Prez.

37. Hey Oprah! In case you weren't aware, Obama is only half black. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is ALL woman!
Oh, and you are a gutless coward. Hopefully, Sarah will be way too busy for you after the McCain/Palin victory.

38. Oprah is simply showing her true colors. She'll feel really stupid when her boy loses and Palin will be too busy to come on her show...

41. Another media shill for the Obamasiah. They are running scared, The only reason no to have her on her show is that Palin would put into stark relief what a two dimensional cardboard cutout Obama, Oprah and her other minions are. What a load. What about the glass ceiling they are always bitching about? I guess they want that ceiling in place for conservatives only. Hypocrites!

42. My subscription to "O" magazine immediately canceled! I will no longer watch your show either, Ms. Winfrey! Celebs need to stay out of politics! Middle America is more powerful than you think!

43. This whole thing was evised by drudge to create uproar. Think about it. THe drudge story posted an article that they wrote with no sources. Then they just waited ftor some other news org to run with it. TMZ obliged and now it is a "legitmate" story on drudge.

44. Oprah is a racist. Always has been, always will.

45. What a joke. A complete yet unsurprising joke.

I don't watch Oprah, but if I did I'd pay particular attention to her advertisers so I know who NOT to buy from. Sooooo... who advertises on her show?
