I just saw a ticker headline that the Florida State Republican Women are "boycotting" the Oprah Show and asking their members (and groupies) to cancel their subscriptions to "O" because they think it is unfair for Oprah to not interview Sarah Palin before the election. Point of fact is that even though Oprah is publicly supporting Obama, she has said she won't interview any of the candidates on her show BECAUSE of her support of Obama. (Obama, Oprah? There's lots of "O's" here!)
All I have to say to that boycott idea is remember how well it worked out for Disney when the Moral Majority tried to get their followers to boycott Disney products and theme parks because of the special events they sponsored for gays? Hmm?
And doesn't Ms. Winfrey make a lot of community contributions with some of her vast wealth? Doesn't she regularly through her show and magazine encourage her fans to get involved in their own communities and work with non-profit and charitable organizations to help others? Ever hear of a cool thing called the "Angel Network?" Couldn't she be considered a "community organizer?"
Well, if she is, that certainly wouldn't give her enough experience to be vice president, would it?
