I don’t do much political stuff here as I try to not ’show my colors’ on this blog, but this is just too rich not to say something. I can’t help myself. So, if you don’t like politics just move along to the next post please.

OK, Oprah says Sarah Palin won’t be allowed on her show until after the election. Fair enough. I’m cool with that, ya know it is Oprah’s show. BUT WAIT! Let’s check Oprah’s response on this story:

“The item in today’s Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this 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.”

OK, no biggie, but a couple interesting points.

1. If you think that the Oprah show had “absolutely no discussion” about having Palin on you are truly ignorant of how these shows work. Guaranteed, there was plenty of ‘discussion’, it just got shut down because both Oprah and her executive producer are HUGE and I mean LOTS OF DONATIONS TO and support for ‘The Obama’.

2. “I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates”, unless it is ‘The Obama’. Obama has been a guest on Oprah’s show twice and she is a quoted, often too, supporter of him on both her show and in her magazine. She and many of her staff have sent his campaign thousands of dollars. Hey, that’s cool! I don’t have any issue with that at all. Just be honest and admit to using your show and media resources and your own money to support him.

Just because he had not announced yet she has the typical liberal weasel of, duh, he hadn’t announced so I wasn’t supporting a candidate. Yeah, that might work with the morons I live with here in San Francisco and Seattle, but I know a little bit about politics and you are endorsing. Again, no foul in my book, it is her show and money, but at least admit it. Seriously.

Once again, liberal weasel caught using deft vocabulagorical sifting. ;)

Oh, and in case you are wondering, I actually like Obama. He seems like a genuinely nice person.
