She’s Oprah. What Are You Gonna Do About It?

Remember last month, when everybody wanted Sarah Palin to go on Oprah’s show? But Oprah was like, “Well, er, um… Nah!” Here’s the excuse she gave:

“At the beginning of the 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.”

Well, that’s a principled stance. Fair enough. Good for you, O!

Wait, what?

Oprah Winfrey is offering to “produce” the half-hour Barack Obama advertisement set to air on Oct. 29, a top source tells the DRUDGE REPORT. The Daytime TV dynamo has even offered up her studio space in Chicago.

“She’s been begging Obama to let her help,” a source explaines (sic).

Hmm. I guess technically she hasn’t gone back on her word. She’s not using her show as a platform for Obama… she’s just building him a new one!

Maybe she’ll get Letterman to host. “Oprah, Obama. Obama, Oprah. Have you kids met Trig?”

    But…but…ANY criticism means you’re a racist!

  2. 2 Aleric Oct 22nd, 2008 at 9:17 am

    Like this is even going to be a negative blip on the MSM. Not to mention the amount of money it would take to put on a half hour commercial.

    Infomercial for Obama, hmm, “Obamamercial”?

    Are you surprised? Really?
    Actually I heard Oprah felt bad, and to make up for it every GOP member in her studio audience got…a… BRAND NEW CAR!!!!

    Both of them!

    Wow, how many young’uns won’t get *that* Oscars reference?

  5. 5 Chronic Malanga Oct 22nd, 2008 at 10:12 am

    I don’t even care who wins the election at this point. I just want it over with so that celebrities will just shut up about it already.

  6. 6 D---- Oct 22nd, 2008 at 10:45 am

    Amen Chronic!

  7. 7 phoenix Oct 22nd, 2008 at 11:23 am

    Is it weird that I want less and less to vote for the O-man as more and more people keep trying to shove him on us?

    I guess I’m celebrity contrarian.

    Ask me again after I get my fifth or sixth cold call of the week.

  9. 9 Eve Oct 22nd, 2008 at 1:05 pm

    Wow, girlfriend has been getting some serious plastic surgery. Damn.

  10. 10 MC Mom Oct 22nd, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    I’m with you, Phoenix. The more celebrities tell me earnestly that voting for McCain will bring the end of life on earth, the more I feel like bringing on the ELE.

  11. 11 bigmama Oct 22nd, 2008 at 2:13 pm

    Maybe she should charge Obama. He’s going to tax the hell out of all filthy rich people like her. After all, if you make any kind of money, you’re evil incarnate (at least according to all the Democratic talking heads I’ve seen)

  12. 12 StrawberryGirl Oct 22nd, 2008 at 2:16 pm

    Uh oh, this means the dreaded soft-focus camera!

    Thank God for cable so I can skip this Ross Perot-esque “special.”

  13. 13 Pastafarian Oct 22nd, 2008 at 3:12 pm

    You guys should thank your lucky stars you don’t live in the Chicago area like I do. Every time one of these two goes to the bathroom I get to hear about it.

    Thank your lucky stars? Is my grandmother possessing my keyboard? OUT FOUL DEMON!

  14. 14 John Oct 22nd, 2008 at 9:09 pm

    Chronic & D—-, if Obamanation loses do you really think the Hollywood set will shut up? They & MSM will just ratchet up the whining and snivelling.

  15. 15 MarkJ Oct 22nd, 2008 at 9:17 pm

    “I don’t even care who wins the election at this point. I just want it over with so that celebrities will just shut up about it already.”

    Nah, they’re not going to shut up. If you think the celebutards are screeching now, just wait until they wake up one morning next year and realize *horrors!* Obama was actually SERIOUS about taxing them into oblivion.

    “But, but, but Mr. Obama was so clean, articulate, and well-spoken. Such a nice young man. How were we to know he was a lying SOB? We feel so violated!”

  16. 16 Stan Abromowitz Oct 22nd, 2008 at 9:18 pm

    News Alert!!!!!!

    There is a rumor that Oprah just got arrested at the airport!

    Customs pulled up her dress and found 60lbs of crack!

  17. 17 apb Oct 22nd, 2008 at 10:07 pm

    Just another day for the racist pukes here in Obamastan…

  18. 18 Deek Oct 22nd, 2008 at 10:25 pm

    DEAREST LEADER IS MAKING A LIST OF THOSE WHO DEMEAN AND THINK UNGOOD THOUGHTS. YOU HAVE BEEN TAGGED.

    DOUBLEPLUS UNGOOD!

  19. 19 Vinny Vidivici Oct 22nd, 2008 at 10:26 pm

    Obamathon, Obamamercial, Obamamercial Telethon, Telobamamercial.

    Tell me, will there be a “Call NOW” number on the bottom of the screen? [Helpful hint: Remember, for world citizens, 800 numbers don't work from outside the U.S.]

  20. 20 ExDem in Mich Oct 22nd, 2008 at 11:20 pm

    This is the absolute worst case of someone BUYING an election! It is going to go down in history as the year our democracy died. How sad. It’s going to be a long 4 years if BO succeeds in buying enough votes to win. It just makes me sick.

  21. 21 Denise Oct 23rd, 2008 at 4:33 am

    Guess she’s gotta do something to warrant that rumored posting as Ambassador to Great Britain.

  22. 22 Jake Oct 23rd, 2008 at 4:48 am

    Strange about all the people claiming to be sick of celebrities acting like jerks coming to a celebriy blog (albeit an unconvetional one) to read about celebrities acting like jerks.

    I quite like my fix of Matt Damon getting excited about Sarah Palin’s opinions on dinosaurs. Gives me quite a laugh.

  23. 23 Pastafarian Oct 23rd, 2008 at 9:30 am

    Yep that Matt Damon sure knows his stuff. I know because aside from his status as a box office superstar, he’s also a Nobel Prize winning physicist. Celebrities aren’t nutty at all or anything. I wonder what Tom Cruise thinks of Sarah Palin. I hear he’s normal.

  24. 24 phoenix Oct 23rd, 2008 at 11:52 am

    Well Jake, I know I usually only frequent blogs where everything posted completely agrees with everything i like to hear, and I hate to know when people are trying to influence our lives are doing something shady. But occasionally I get tired of staring at the blank screen and like to giggle at the celebrity stupidity too.

    C’mon, we’re all on this blog because we LOVE to hate these people.

  25. 25 HeatherRadish Oct 23rd, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    “Is it weird that I want less and less to vote for the O-man as more and more people keep trying to shove him on us?”

    No. And don’t forget, despite what you hear on TV, you don’t have to vote for him. You *can* vote for someone else.

  26. 26 John Oct 23rd, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    We all know how Oprah will vote. The question is: Who will Minge and Gary pull the lever for?

  27. 27 Rob Oct 24th, 2008 at 12:59 am

    I would criticize Oprah and Obama, but I would be called a racist, and that represents an epic fail for white men.

    Not to mention, my posts would be scrutinized and deleted as not being “accurate.” Much like the youtube posts linking Obama to the Sub-Prime Housing collapse, and videos linking liberals, in general, to the collapse. Oh well.

    Down with republican pigs. Now everyone will like me again. Yay.

  28. 28 danjenks Oct 24th, 2008 at 6:16 pm

    Oprah’s messages boards and other blogs are excited about her latest gadget endorsement. Bezos and Oprah are very smart about this one.
