Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) is intimidated by Oprah Winfrey's intellect and political acumen, writer Joanna Douglas hinted in her December 5 article for Shine.Yahoo.com entitled "Sarah Palin blows off Oprah Winfrey."
While Douglas conceded that the Obama-endorsing daytime talk host refused to book Palin during the campaign, she neglected to mention that the decision at the time offended many a Republican Oprah fan, not to mention reports that roughly half her own staff disagreed with Winfrey's pre-election Palin blackout.
Instead Douglas portrayed Winfrey as the aggrieved party, "snubbed" by a vindictive Palin. Douglas went as far as to suggest that Palin may be avoiding an Oprah appearance because she's "intimidated" by Winfrey:
"I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over,” Winfrey tells Extra. “I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta [Van Susteren]. She talked to Matt [Lauer]. She talked to Larry [King]. But she didn't talk to me."
Is Oprah worried Palin will avoid the biggest daytime talk show forever? Not a chance. "Maybe she'll talk to me now that she has a [multi-million dollar] book deal," says Winfrey. Think Oprah will offer Palin up a spot in her book club?
Sarah Palin may be blowing off Oprah, but the host is determined to have some other, more prominent political figures back on her show. "There's always an open invitation for the president-elect and first lady," she says.
Watch the clip below. Do you think Palin is avoiding Oprah because she’s intimidated and knows the host is a staunch Obama supporter? After all, Winfrey is taping her talk show from Washington DC during Inauguration week.

December 9, 2008 - 16:39 ET by PrairieSkyafter Oprah's lame, bs reason for not having Sarah on during the campaign, Sarah probably told her to shove it...(but in a much nicer way, of course!)
Oprah Winfrey and her show aren't worth Sarah's time or energy.

Sarah can handle any liberal in any debate with facts.
But the fat broad uses a paid, professional audience to attack, boo and demean her 'guests' when one is scheduled that she wants ridiculed.
Toss in a few gratituous camera angles and mission accomplished.
IF the fat broad really wants to interview MRS. Palin, she can go to Alaska, rent a studio hire a local makeup artist, use local camermen, and do an interview, one on one, leave an exact copy with Sarah, then gome home and doctor to her hearts content.
Then, when the 'interview' is aired, Sarah would have the ability to show the aired version, and the original version side by side on youtube IN CONTEXT.

There's a saying that the landscape of Alaska is littered with the bodies of those that have underestimated Sarah Palin. When the Arctic Fox turns on the charm and flashes that smile, Oprah could end up part of it.

Gov Palin is a very smart
December 9, 2008 - 18:08 ET by ConservativeRexGov Palin is a very smart woman. She knows she has nothing to gain and more to lose by going on this mouthpiece for Obama show.
Gov Palin realizes that her base does not watch Oprah, they are out working when this show comes on.
The people that watch Oprah would never vote for her at any rate. I respect Gov Palin more than any politician out there. She made the correct choice here.
I would remind everyone that these same people that watch Oprah continually made fun of little Trig. I will never forget them doing that. I will always bring that up to liberals as long as I live that that is what they did!
These monsters on the left deserve no favors or special treatment just for that fact alone! The vile and hateful things they said of this fine family will never be forgotten by me!
Yeah, like the 'Cuda is
December 9, 2008 - 18:23 ET by Gary P JacksonYeah, like the 'Cuda is scared of Oprah!
I ran across this today, Sarah was interviewed by Canadian TV about the new pipeline deal between Canada and Alaska.
Nice story. But the best part is when she takes Obama to task. Telling him he needs to start a relationship with Canada. And taking him on about NAFTA.
Sarah is very good about sticking it in Obama's eye,and being so nice and cheerful doing it!
I have no doubt had she been debating Obama instead of McCain, the debate would have been more lively.

Quite frankly, I would be glad to have a reprieve here from all the Palin blog posts...we have four years yet...I can't do this for four years, I also hope she isn't going to be crammed down our throats already as who we are going to want for our candidate already, McC was bad enough.

BUT for now the msm better be worried about saving their savior....this is just the beginning...this isn't just going to end up being a little problem in my opinion, we have the Acorn investigation coming down too...plus I'm not going to go into other matters that I think may be coming on down the road too...I just feel we are going to have more than Blogo-gate.

I'm surprised it wasn't linked somehow to her great-great-granmother's diet choices on some founding GOPer's plantation back in 1825.
Why is she inviting sex therapists on her show in January? They are going to somehow help her lose weight? And spiritual advisors? Who? Rev. Jackson, Wright, Sharpton?

Actually, what interests me more
December 9, 2008 - 21:57 ET by thebutlerdiditis why Oprah decided to say she was sorry for gaining weight. Is that a ploy to sell copies of her horrible magazine? I mean, come on, you have been up and down on the weight scale more than an elevator operator has been up and down on the elevator. Oprah, give us a break. No one cares. Yes, you are fat. Why are you telling us how much you weigh, let alone apologising for said weight? Wouldn't it better to apologise to your body for mistreating it? This woman has got an ego that just won't quit.
She can't make up her mind
December 10, 2008 - 01:00 ET by doug1950On one hand she blames her thyroid (girl, like we ain't never heard that one before) then she apologizes for porking out and falling off the wagon. Most likely it was them chicken n grits that done her in. If you gain 40 or 50 lbs it doesn't happen overnight. You don't just wake and the viola there is another person inside your skin with you. When the slacks no longer stretch across your butt it is time to do something then, not two years later, then blaming it on your "Thigh Roid".
Nah,
December 10, 2008 - 16:03 ET by 5kidsnadogshe's apologizing because she's probably getting ready to endorse some new really soul searchingly deep weight loss program that thousands of intellectual Oprah watchers will embrace with their dollars. I'm so tired of Oprah and her self-involved, introspective soul rides. She's the poster child for liberals because it's not about right or wrong, it's about how you FEEEEL.
I would actually love to see Sarah go on the show just so she could stick it to Oprah. Sweet as all get out, but asking the exact, pin-pointed questions that point out the hypocrisy of being liberal.
Best defense for liberals
December 9, 2008 - 23:07 ET by chazskiI think the unending liberal attacks on Palin, especially this far after the election, bespeaks more about their abject fear of her than of anything else. She is the quintesential embodiment of everything the liberal feminist movement has ever advocated and it terrifies them that her 'choice' was the opposite of what they believe 'choice' means. (They believe in choice and they believe there is only one choice.) Far from Palin being intimidated by Oprah, it is Oprah and the rest of the liberal establishment which is intimidated by Palin ... a genuine woman. And they are viscerally employing the age old tactic of war, ie, the best defense is a good offense. But I doubt that Palin even notices.
Sarah may not take notice,

Snooty Liberal Dick Cavett Doesn't Like Gov. Palin
December 10, 2008 - 05:51 ET by Rush FanDick Cavett, former television pundit, wrote an article in November for the New York Times titled The Wild Wordsmith of Wasilla.
In the article he disparages Sarah Palin, including the way she talks. Among Cavett's comments:
"I suppose it will be recorded as among political history’s ironies
that Palin was brought in to help John McCain. I can’t blame feminists
who might draw amusement from the fact that a woman managed to both
cripple the male she was supposed to help while gleaning an almost
Elvis-sized following for herself...
I feel a little sorry for John. He aimed low and missed.
What will ambitious politicos learn from this? That frayed syntax,
bungled grammar and run-on sentences that ramble on long after thought
has given out completely are a candidate’s valuable traits?"

Palin and Oprah
December 10, 2008 - 09:58 ET by Peggy CostionI don't care how rich Oprah is, she can't compare to a public servant, mother and wife like Gov. Palin. When it comes time to discuss the FAIRNESS ACT I hope Oprah's refusal to interview Gov. Palin BEFORE the election, after interviewing her puppy Obama, is considered as well. If she's going to interview him, shouldn't she have to agree to interview the OTHER SIDE in an election as well ? The public has seen and registered how UNFAIR OPHRA was. I've followed her since she was a cub reporter in Baltimore, but she's too big for her britches now. I'll never watch or read ANYHTHING she produces or endorses. She's a FORMER journalist. She KNOWS better. Her abuse of professional ethics is as bad as former Pres. Clinton, a trained lawyer, lying under oath. Oprah needs to go sit in a corner and suck her thumb and pout. But that still won't get Gov. Palin on her show. And how egotistical is it for Oprah to comment that Palin will want to come on her show to sell her book? I've seen thousands stand in the rain in Pennsylvania to see Palin. Her book will do just fine without Oprah. Who does Oprah think she is anyway? Peggy Costion

One big difference
December 10, 2008 - 11:00 ET by doug1950is Oprah is expecting Gov. Palin to make the journey to her set while Greta and others make the trek to Sarah's stomps. Gov. Palin is much better off just staying away from Oprah and other leftest "entertainers" for all the reasons and more stated above. She does not need Oprah, Katie, The View to get her message out. They just want to try and play "gotcha" so they can gloat and have bragging rights at their dinner parites and coffee claques. Governor Palin has too much class and should pick her interviews carefully and go with those whose purpose is to conduct themselves professionally and with civility.
Palin intimidated by Okra? Not on your life...!
December 10, 2008 - 12:07 ET by semolina_filcherI think it's the other way around. Oprah has that 200+ pound belly fat that she's been carrying while Palin has that smoothness about her. Care to ask which woman is intimidated by whom?
Ms. Palin, please continue snobbing the fat Harpo.
Its all about the ratings
December 10, 2008 - 13:37 ET by colfaxIts all about the ratings and the money,she can't believe that Gov.Palin has scuples and dignity. In her mind only a fool would'nt come on the show for the face time.
Sarah needs Oprah? I don't think so!
December 10, 2008 - 19:44 ET by OliveOprah's Agenda. What's in it for Sarah? Oprah is the one that's gonna make a big bag full of money, today, tomorrow and forever after. What's Sarah going to make? Sarah doesn't need Oprah to make her famous, she already is famous. Then there is that risk that Oprah will do a "Couric" er or even just an "Oprah" which is bad enough. You have to admit the Governor of Alaska has a lot more saavy than her detractors give her credit for. And, a lot of nerve as well.
Saying no to Oprah is like turning down an invite to Buckingham Palace!
