I enjoy Oprah's show now and then, but if she's going to turn into a political partisan, I'm not much interested in anything she has to offer anymore. As someone who claims to be for women, she should be excited to have Governor Palin on her show. Sarah doesn't need Oprah - she's already made her impression.

Hazlett is hearing that the editorial board of "Us Weekly" had thought they pegged it right that media pressure and attacks would see Palin pulled from the McCain ticket even before her debut speech. Because the media had so quickly swarmed to destroy her, they thought she was toast before she even had the chance to accept the nomination.

“When Us went to print Monday night, it looked like the ticket was falling apart," says one magazine editor. “They went to print thinking Palin was dead in the water, and their mistake was thinking everyone who reads Us is a Democrat, when they’re not. Readers are loyal, but the base of a political party is more loyal. They don’t need to read the magazine when there’s so much press around it to know to be upset.”

Reports vary that from 3,000 to 10,000 subscribers have canceled their subscriptions to the gossip mag scaring the pants off of the magazine industry. In a time when sales and advertising are both down, the magazine industry does not need this sort of imbroglio, for sure. Hazlett also reports that these many thousands of cancellations came before the attacks on Palin in "Us Weekly" were even printed and distributed.

Five thousand might not seem like a large number at first glance, but it’s significant in the context of Us’ printing schedule. The magazine goes to press Monday night, which means subscribers don’t receive their issues until Friday or Saturday. In other words, the cancellations are coming from subscribers who, in many cases, haven’t even gotten their hands on the actual issue.

This speaks to the arrogance of the left leaning media establishment. They were so darn sure that they could successfully destroy Sarah Palin that they counted their chickens before they were hatched. They assumed that by the time they printed and shipped their magazine, they would have succeeded in forcing McCain to boot her from the ticket.

They didn't know how tough Sarah Palin really was, nor how outraged their readership would be.

To appropriate a saying, arrogance goeth before the fall. And "Us Weekly" just took a tumble.

ST. PAUL — Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and bolstering his plan to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said Thursday.

Sarah "Barracuda" Palin is feared by Oprah and the backlash this will create will only garner more votes for the McCain/Palin ticket. I pray to God that Oprah bars her from her show.

PS It was great to hear Barracuda by Heart last night.

Now St John, don't you know these daytime talk ladies have a "higher" calling than regular folk? They are more "enlightened" than us, more "trendy" than us, and heaven forbid we give both sides a fair chance to talk! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: That would just be so EWWWWWWWW! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I like Dr. Oz. I record the show every day and watch maybe one a week, maybe 2 if there's an interesting topic. I don't like political Oprah, though, so I may delete her from my DVR schedule altogether.

My guess is that Palin would turn down an invite to O's show, at least I would hope she would. That show reeks of disingenuous values and exploited, self promoting , so called good deeds. Just an opinion and we all have one.

Yet from another online news site...

"The factually inaccurate and exaggerated speech bashing Barack from the lipstick wearing pit bull delivered at the RNC convention on Wednesday inspired 130,000 donors to give money to the Obama campaign.

To the tune of $8 million in 24 hours!!!!!

Wowsers!

Who would've guessed that Sarah Palin would be such a great Obama fundraiser????

An Obama campaign rep said they were on track to make $10 million by the time John McCain took the stage Thursday night.

Wonder how the fundraising is going for the GOP these days?!"
