Oprah to Palin: I Can Pencil You In Later

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.

1201. No palin no Mcbush "bible thumper ". You say that with conviction: and intense discrimination. "haters" you say, with equal venom. I would say that you are irrational. That would not equate with an intelligent vote.

1202. Mrs, Fairness If what you jave said about Oprah & taxes makes sense to you, then you have no comprehension or insight as regards the bigger picture and I am not referring to Oprah's excessive weight.

1203. If Oprah was white and Obama had been white and she invited him on twice, then Palin comes along being black, if she didn't invite her on she'd be a racist. But because Oprah's black and Obama's black it's A-Ok. This is the problem I have with race relations in America, and Obama possibly being president. You'll have blacks acting RETARDED like P Diddy everywhere. I guarantee if Obama doesn't win there'll be riots. That's how they roll.

1205. Again, I ask.......WHY did we bring these things over from Africa??

I'd give anything to ship them all 'home' again!

1206. Wow. Did I die and go to Heaven? People who actually DON'T like Oprah?! It's about time!

I've pretty much always said that Oprah was sexist (she built an all-GIRL school in Africa), racist (she said American citizens should be ashamed of themselves for not doing more to help New Orleans and, yet, no comment on Ike wiping away Galveston?) and rude (she interrupts all the "little people" on her show).

I don't care whether she has Palin on her show or not, btw. I'm just happy Oprah isn't seen as the goddess people made her out to be just a few years ago.

1207. There are some really ignorant people commenting on this board and a lot of haters obviously. There is a law that says if you are running for President you must get equal media time if you are appearing on a TV show. That means if Oprah interviews Palin she also has to interview Biden and if she interviews McCain she has to interview Barack (and previously Romney, Giuliani , Clinton, Edwards) etc etc . Oprah doesn't want to have her show become a platform for all candidates so she is not interviewing any of them including Barack Obama. The interviews she has done with Barack were before he announced his bid for Presidency. Get th e facts straight!

1208. Oprah rocks!!!!!!!!!!

Obama rules!!!!!!!


When you become a multi-billionaire media tycoon through your own self-sacrifice, hard work, talent , influence and determination, then you too can decide who the hell you want on your show.

1209. For those of you who are spreading lies and falsehoods by suggesting Oprah is only supporting Obama because he's "black," once again you are very misinformed about the facts!!

There have been other African-American presidential contenders prior to Obama who Oprah did not endorse including: Jessie Jackson Al Sharption and Alan Keyes.

Secondly, Obama's mother is white, which makes him just as much white as he is of African descent.

So once again you are wrong, wrong and wrong, and make no sense whatsoever!!! Pick up a book or newspaper, turn off FOX TV and get educated. :P

1210. I should confess that I don't think straight unless I have a
large Black penis up my anal cavity and therefore I want to apologize
for my above comments, since they were made in my time of abstinence.
I'm feeling much better now. Thanks Bubba.

All you good people go back to your intellectual discussion now, while I savour my recent Mandingo loving. mmmmmmm.

1211. Oh, and when we start riots look for me on video. When I loot I'll be sure to wear my black durag so that you know it's me.

1212. Excuse me, I needed to repent for my earlier rants. While I berate Fox I do realize just how damn hypocritical I am bitching about one news channel that doesn't try to cram Obama down our throats. It's perfectly Ok with me that the rest of the media is simply trying to brainwash us with their propaganda. And while Obama supporters continually slam Palin any which way they can, how dare you say anything about my precious Barack. Mr. Obama spoke to me personally through my altar and I know you McCain Palin supporters will face fire and brimstone.

1213. Mr. Michelle Obama will be running the show, Mrs.Barack Obama will be second in command. Biden .. will have no voice.
