If Gov. Palin ever hopes to rub elbows with Oprah, one of America's current most powerful women, she's gonna have to wait a while. Yesterday it was announced by TMZ that Oprah was specifically asked if Palin would invited to speak on her show to which Oprah basically replied...no.
First of all, who would have thought that tabloid press like TMZ would be digging up stories on our political candidates before all the "legitimate new sources" out there. Secondly, does this surprise anyone? O has made it abundantly clear that she's already thrown her support behind Obama, who appeared on her show a couple times before becoming the Democratic candidate. But not only that, she also announced that she would have niether Palin or Obama on the show now that the race has officially begun between the two parties.
To some, Oprah's rejection of a Palin cameo on her show may seem bias considering her political affiliation. On the flip side, some may think that the last thing Sarah Palin deserves is another round of soft ball questions that she can duck and dodge with rhetoric and smiles. Let's face it, during a presidential candidacy, she should be trying to get on some legitimate news programs talking about real issues with Anderson Cooper or Brian Williams. We're not saying Oprah doesn't have credibility (Oprah, please don't have your people hunt us down), it's just not the same as being on a legit news program. Save the warm sentimental stuff for last, or until the campaign is decided... it's either that or let The Daily Show's John Stewart loose on her. But we all know McCain isn't senile enough to let that happen.
