(CNN) – Sarah Palin's camp is denying claims she's is snubbing talk show host Oprah Winfrey, telling CNN Monday the decision was "nothing personal" - the Alaska governor has just been flooded with so many media requests she simply hasn't had the time to sit down with the daytime talk show icon.
“The governor was invited to appear. She was also invited to appear on Letterman, Leno, Stephanopoulos, The Daily Show. She passed on a vast majority of these requests," Bill McAllister, Palin's communications director and press secretary.
"We’re up to about 250 requests for interviews and appearances and so on. It’s worldwide, there’s still a tremendous amount of interest. It’s nothing personal about Oprah, it’s just that she turned down the vast majority of these requests."
A Palin appearance at a later date is still possible, said McAllister: “I’m not aware that it’s been ruled out.”
Winfrey - the popular daytime talk show host and strong Barack Obama supporter - seemed to suggest last week that Palin was deliberately avoiding her show.
"I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over…" she said in an interview with the entertainment show 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.”
Winfrey’s comments came in response to rumors she'd refused to offer an invitation to the former vice presidential candidate.


Diva vs Diva. Nothing to see here, folks... move along, move along....
If Governor Palin wants to be serious contender in 2012, she should do the Sunday Morning talk shows. In the meantime, she should interview with Barbara Walters one-on-one. Always interviewing with Fox News really isn't a plus. Fox News is slanted Republican anyway.
Honey, this is America. Palin will be on Oprah's show, whenever Palin is ready.
Failin Palin the Wasilla Hillbilly is irrelevant, CNN. Why do you all insist? NOT NEWS and definitely not political ticker material.
I'd still like to know WHY she should appear anywhere!? Betcha' she gets the burnout by February...
who cares!!!
Why should Sarah Palin appear on Opera? Opera is A male hating Tax grabbing Liberal who don't deserve to have a real person on her show. She was Biased in the Campaign so why should she be allowed privileges now. Opera should take her shovanist biased ways and stick them where the sun don't shine. I'm just glad some people are really informed and don't just take Operas word for truth as it is rare that it is.
I doubt very much if Palin would allow herself to be interviewed by Oprah. Oprah might and would ask real questions of Palin, not like the softball questions with no follow up that Fox News throws at her. Palin couldn't even answer what she reads. I guess she didn't to say that she only reads the funny pages of "All the papers". She's a joke and the more she talks, the more we find out how much she doesn't know. If she wants anything to do in 2012, she better spend the next four years reading the news instead of the funny pages. She should take some English courses as well.
PLEASE STOP REPORTING THIS NONSENSE.
Ms Winfrey isn't going to lose any sleep or money if ole dO-dO brain can't wrap her teeney little peapod around the idea.
But I think Palin turned down going before the millions of Oprah viewers because she's just not ready to give another interview that could ask some REAL questions of her.
Think About It.... She was only on the ticket for 8 weeks:
-She spent the first 3 weeks evading the press.
-The 4th week she did the Katie Couric interview, during which it became clear "why" she was evading the press.
-The 5th week she avoided all news while the McCain camp did damage control.
-The 6th week she sat down with Charlie Gibson and didn't know the countries involved in NAFTA.
-Weeks 7 and 8 she did interviews with Hannity and Fox News anchors (the friendly GOP press) because they didn't play "gotcha" by asking her more about the Bush doctrine.
-Oh and she got crunk on SNL.
This woman isn't prepared to sit on Oprah's couch. Hell, she's not even ready to sit on her floor.
Sorry BB, Palin is Wailin' and on track for 2012.
JP
I hope Sarah never appears on OW's show. She was selective in who she did do on the show and her bias showed. Hope she disappears from TV soon!
I guess Oprah's ego must be pretty big if she thinks just because Palin did a few interviews with others, she owed one to Oprah.
Palin makes me wanna puke.
Palin is trailer park trash. Who cares if she snubs Oprah or not...
Obama-prah is a whining baby. Being a black woman she always expects to get here way. Too bad! Expect the race card to be played next.
Palin 1, O what a waste of space 0
WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Move along.
Palin may think she's important but Oprah is a mutli-billionaire who's contributed far more to the world than Palin could ever do in Hilbilly Wasilla. Which means frankly my dear, "SHE DOESN'T GIVE A HOOT" if you show up on her show or not. I won't affect Oprah's ratings or her $$$$.
I just wish somebody would hit the Hockey Mom with a puck to shut her up. It's like she's begging for attention nobody really cares about.
To BB
Leave Palin alone. She'll make a great VP in 2012. I can see her as a VP, but nothing beyond that. She needs training wheels. And dont count her out. She draws out lots of conservatives out. However, I'm not ready for an elephant to be put back in 2012 or 2016.
Really? Who cares? The majority of us in America do not care for Sarah Palin. I wouldn't consider anything she does to be a snub!
I hope that Orpah doesn't make a big deal about Palin. It is just not that important.
Let's see an hour on Oprah or 10 minutes with Lauer
An hour on Oprah or 2 hours with Greta Van Sustren ... hmm ... let's see
In both cases, she gets broader exposure with Oprah .... then again Sarah may not want that type of revealing exposure.
Let us not forget, Obama went on O'Reilley's show.
Wow, it's time for Oprah getting a dose of her own medicine at last. No snub whatsoever as you haven't been ruled out yet, your Highest, but you just have to wait like everybody else. Maybe there's a chance in four years.
Palin on Oprah is a joke.... why would Oprah want her on the show?
We're sick of Palin and her idiocy.
Oh yeah, like she's ready to give interviews now the campaign is over..
Too bad Caroline Kennedy is gonna make sure she's just a flash-in-a-pan
Kennedy/Chelsea 2016
KENNEDY ! KENNEDY
Jeez, people! Get a grip! Oprah wasn't implying that she was snubbed. Everyone just reads crap into everything nowadays. It's really pathetic.
Hey BB,
people who refer to palin as a "hillbilly" are no better than people who refer to blacks as "lazy", jews as "cheap" or any other derogatory remark towards fellow americans. I guess your initials BB must stand for just your Basic Bigot.
So who's Oprah that our political leaders have to feel obligated to give her an interview? Just like that Preacher 'what's his name' that the candidates had to go to to get his blessing in order to run their campaign. She's another one of those people who are really impressed with themselves, who look themselves in the mirror every morning
and just say 'Ahhhhh' I'm been saying for years that she's a big phony, just like that psycho psychologist she gave birth to, Dr. Phil. Don't we ever wake up?
Palin is cute, but cute don't (for empahsis) get you to the top of the ticket.
She'll need to go to Oprah at some point. In which case, Oprah might just decide that the snub was itentional.
And another thing. When will our political leaders act to restore dignity to their elected offices by granting interviews only to newspapers, newsmagazines, and network news organizations, in other words – journalists, and not talk shows, late nite shows, comediens, and other mindless fluff? You only get the respect you earn. I, for one, choose not to vote for a candidate who insults the dignity of his office by appearing on Letterman, Oprah, Leno, or what have you.
Oprah needs to get over herself, she believes her own publicity!
OMG!!!!
Who cares???????????
Nor did I think there was anything to it. Nothing against Oprah, but who really cares who is on her show, or any show for that matter.
Is this lady back at work yet?
WHO CARES?
STOP THE PALIN DRIVEL!
What'st the matter Oprah? Are your feelings hurt? Too bad, so sad. I guess that's the way it goes. Palin doesn't owe you anything, and you don't deserve to have Palin on your show. You made it clear that you were an Obama supporter because the two of you are black, and Palin is white. We all get it. Why don't you get Barack to be on your show?
Palin is not worthy to be on Oprah show.... if she thought Kattie asked the hard questions she would not get through five minutes with Oprah.... please Oprah no one want to see Palin really..... let her stay in Alaska and watch the nations security from her back yard.... taht will be best for all of us....
OPRAH WOULD NEED A POLE & A DIFFERENT AUDIENCE.
MAYBE THE ENTIRE RNC CAN SIT FOR THAT ONE.
Do you REALLY think this is NEWS????!!!! Palin has to be the most boring, uneduated woman in the States! Can we please forget her and move along.
A transition team loaded with lobbyists....a cabinet loaded with entrenched Washington politicians...yep, change you can believe in.
She's put on about 50 lbs. and looks enormous--she's back to wearing the moo moo dresses--bringing Sarah Barracuda on the show will only hurt her fragile ego as she continues to balloon up--
ARRGGHH, more Palin. The new president hasn`t even been inaugurated and they are already trying to campaign. I wish we would learn from the British and limit campaigns to 6 weeks. This last campaign was outright disgusting, I didn`t even listen to the news anymore. Please CNN, don`t tell me you are gonna give publicity to people who want to campaign for four years.
Oh for gods sakes... why won't this woman just disappear? We've had enough of her.
DITTO!! RE:CINDY
First of all, Oprah was asked about the issue. She did not just come out and complain about Palin refusing to come on her show. Second, it is her show. I'm sure most of the people complaining don't watch it. I don't. Third, she had Obama on her show BEFORE the primaries not DURING. If she wasn't goint to have anyone campaigning on her show or promoting themselves, it was her right to do so. You might have a point if she had him on during the campaign. But I seriously doubt that she really wants to have Palin on her show anyway.
To Bill at 6:30...
White woman speaking here...if you think that black women always expect to get their way, can you do us all a favor and go post your insane ideas on the Fox blog?
I'm sure that you have really healthy relationships with the women in your life, nah, you're probably on your 3rd wife...good luck with life, pal.
She's probably afraid of what Oprah will ask. The last thing she needs is a Katie Couric moment and you can believe that Oprah isn't going to be any less intense that Couric.
Oprah is nothing but a diva..GET OVER YOURSELF!!
She's put on about 50 lbs. and looks enormous--she's back to wearing those moo moo dresses again--bringing Sarah Barracuda on will only make her look even more terrible-
Palin told us who she is on the campaine trail, and for you who donot
like Oprah, so be it I donot care for her show but with or without Palin
she will do fine. people just hate for no reason at all you are going
to have to answer for that
So What who cares..........CNN please stop allowing Palin to be part of your news.......she needs to start reading and take care of AK.
I believe Paris Hilton would defeat Sarah Palin in Alaskan Gubernatorial Election if she were to be a resident of Alaska and if she would, being an Alaskan, run for the same office.
Cheers.
S
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................................
Make it stop, make it stop, oh God please make it stop. She had nothing important to say during the campaign, why do we want to hear from her now?
If she did or she did not, thank God America was spared anymore of Sarah Palin. See needs to stay in Alaska doing what she does best: shooting mose, watching Russia from her house, and keeping an eye on Putin as he rears his head into Alaska airspace!
The Left is a lot more angry than the Palin fans right now. Seems they actually did believe the Change line.
CNN is declaring Obama was always a centrist as I write this.
Who Knew?!?
(hint: not the lefties, and not the Obama cult members who sent all those self righteous messages to the rest of us all summer.)
It's so much seeing Obama act exactly like Hillary Clinton would and Bill Clinton DID! He even hired Clinton's staff.
CHANGE? I must have missed something along way...
Dissolving in gales of laughter...........!
Well done, Sarah. Oprah is not relevant.
Sheryl December 8th, 2008 6:30 pm ET
Palin is trailer park trash . . .
____________________
Like the old saying goes . . . "It takes one to know one."
excuse me, what's up with the "Black woman" comment? is that really what you pulled from this article – this is because Oprah's a Black woman! I almost can't believe what I'm reading. Do you really know Oprah's story? What really do you know about Black women? How ridiculous! I wish CNN had not have posted such a hateful statement.
Palin is igloo trash, just like the rest of her tribe.
Not a Palin fan...but not an Oprah fan at all. If Palin snubber her – I guess Oprah has to get over it.
It's all about you Oprah...isn't it?
Seems to be a non-issue. Gov. Palin deserves the same respect that Pres-Elect Obama deserves. No one has to do an opera interview. I am amazed how ever one wants tolerance for as long as it only includes being tolerant of their own point of view. No there really hasn't been any change, and that is a shame.
ALL I CA N SAY IS THAT PALIN IS JUST PLAIN STUPID!!!!!!
Why is this news?
Sarah who?
Sure would be nice if some of you folks would bother to read the article before you posted a comment:
"Winfrey’s comments came in response to rumors she refused to invite the former vice presidential candidate on her popular daytime show."
Maybe she's tired of the Oprah haters making up stupid rumours..oh yeah – this article is a major waste of bandwidth...just sayin'
Oprah was being accused of snubing Palin by not inviting her on her show because she supported Obama. Oprah was just setting the record straight and saying she had invited her and Palin chose not to come on the show. Sounds like the Palin camp didn't communicate why she didn't want to which would have helped matters.
The Republicans do all this whining about not getting media attention and this woman has nothing to say and seems to be everywhere.
Obama's not even Prez yet, and he's out there working hard on an economic recovery plan, etc. What is Palin worried about?–which TV show to be on. This, folks, is definitely a no-brainer.
She better not go on Oprah if does not want to answer real question like that 200 grand her and those hillbillies spent in two months, and that show will be used aginst her in the future she should just be a good govdenor rebuild her repo, and go from there. She is still wearing the GOP clothing she still has questions about Obama paling around with terrorist. She will not be able to tell Oprah I amnot going to answer the questions. She talked to who was going to give her an easy ride Matt and her girlfriend Greta. Greta is on love with her.
If Sarah COULD talk, she would be on the show.
Oprah won't limit her questions to those Sarah
doesn't have to think to answer.
If she is the best the Republican's have, the democrats
should have the White House for the next 16 years.
Palin is a waste of time. When she writes her lousy book, she'll go to Oprah to try to hawk it to any idiot out there who wants to buy it.
Are we done with her yet?
Question: Name two famous people whom I care nothing about.
tired of hearing about Palin... Alaska can keep her
To Sheryl,
I cannot believe that a lady wrote that garbage,do you eat with that filthy mouth?I respect mr.Obama,and I think his supporters should
respect Mrs.Palin,like mama use to say,if you can't say anything nice about some one zip it!!!!!!
She already had a speaking engagement at Sesame Street that interfered with Oprah's show.
Bill, she was ASKED about it, she didn't start saying it out of the blue. So get your facts straight.
"It’s nothing personal about Oprah, it’s just that she turned down the vast majority of these requests ,"
Yes, and where I'm from, turning down an interview request is called a SNUB! When will these people get some command of the English Language.
Could Oprah's ego get any bigger? Love her or hate her Sarah Palin is in demand. If she is a hillbilly or a redneck, she is the most famous and one of the most accomplished in the world. How many people have been Governors and Vice Presidential nominees? Oprah has all day to sit around and talk to random people. Sarah Palin has quite a serious and full time job right now. She will probably go on Oprah later when she has the time later. Until then Oprah will just have to talk to the thousands of other people who want to be on her show and enjoy her millions of dollars. I hardly feel sorry for the woman.
After that turkey slaughter video (I am no animal rights advocate), I seriously can't even think about her without feeling physically sick.
And we care that the brunette version of Ellie Mae Clampett in Prada wants to consort with her own ignorant ilk instead of the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry because? LOL
Why would anyone in their right mind appear on the Ophra show. She is a racist to the core. Palin is so much smarter then O and I would hope she will never appear on the O disgrace for a show.
Seems Oprah was just responding to rumors that she refused to invite Palin (she invited her) and Palin was just responding to rumors that she snubbed Oprah (she has many interview requests and can only do so many). Sounds like people trying to make a problem where there isn't one. I doubt Oprah respects Palin and I doubt Palin is enthusiastic about Oprah after her diehard support of Obama, but Palin will eventually appear on Oprah's show because it is all about ratings and political exposure. Do not see the big deal about this at all. However, I do wish Palin would go away because I find her incredibly annoying - I always turn the channel if she appears.
Who cares about Omprah! she is so full of herself it reaks!
Why bother. Just let Palin sink back into the obscurity from which she came.
who cares??
Palin is irrelevant...yesterday's news...as is McCain...
Who cares. Let this woman stay in Alaska and do her job. Maybe she can learn something in the meantime. I have no interest in her and I seldom watch Oprah show.So again who cares??
BB, "Who Cares"? Apparently you do because of double posting. If you didn't care, then why are you reading and posting?
I think Sarah should snub Oprey. Why put herself through what would be a very bias interview?
Geeeez!
Sarah, go HOME, have a set of quintuplets or something, maybe that will keep you in Alaska.
I am so sick of this bimbo.
One thing, folks, if she runs in four years, she will be four year olders.
When Sarah's looks go, she will go, too.
This is STRAIGHT TALK, OK ?
Palin KNEW that Oprah was supporting OBAMA, wholeheartedly, all the way.....not to mention that she is going all out when the inaugural
day comes.....
That being said, no wonder why PALIN didn't want to go on her show to get interviewed.....Palin probably figures that she could not answer
Oprah's questions, and it would make Palin's answers look bad, once more....
Larry C.
Houston, Texas
Having Sarah Palin on any show is not going to do a thing for their ratings. Her ability to communicate is so limited, any interview would be just plain boring. Maybe Romper Room would be a good show for her.
I am so tired of Oprah, I am glad Sarah has decided not to go on and hope she never does. This country needs to get over Oprah and her self serving agendas. Get over yourself Oprah.....
Seriously, enough with Palin already. The only reason she is getting requests for interviews is because people are waiting to see what she can screw up next. She's pretty useless.
Please make her go away, pleeeeeze, pleeeze, pleeze.......
Again with the hate. Wow, I think the Governor makes some people a bit nervous. Sarah will be just fine but I think some of you need therapy.
Bill you brought up the subject of race. No one else has. With or without Palin, Oprah is still a BILLIONAIRE!! Stop Hating!!
SO SICK OF SARAH
This is so high school...too much going on in the world to worry about this
Palin should spend her time in graduate school learning about international relations if she wants to be a serious contender.
The outrage against her is rooted in her lack of preparedness for the international scene.
She's put on 50 lbs. and is enormous-she's back to wearing those moo moo dresses again--bringing Sarah Barracuda on the show will only emphasize how huge Oprah looks--
are you delusuional SAT? Palin is interviewing everywhere, unlike Obama and Biden who cut off organizations who ask questions they don't like.
She went with Matt and Greta. She will talk to Rush Hannity people that agree with her the "Base" she can not engage intelligent outside of that it is that gotcha media you betcha
Who cares? If it wasn't for looks, Palin would be a whinney nobody! Is America really that shallow? I hope that we wise up by 2012?
Is it possible that it really doesn't matter? I 'd rather not see her on any show. I'v seen all that I need to see and hear of her. She's really not a piece of news to me. She just needs to go back to school and learn about the world and how to form sentences. Maybe then she would make better day time and evening talk show material.
It's in Sarah Palin's interest to stay away from interviews until she and her team are sure she doesn't hurt herself. Palin has a lot at stake if she is going to make any serious run for the GOP nomination in 2012 and everyone knows she didn't have the greatest interviews during the campaign.
Oprah was simply responding to rumors that she snubbed Palin. This is not big news and shouldn't make the headlines. Unfortunately, it has and getting air time when the reality is Palin is not "hot news" currently.
Palin should snub her. She snubbed Palin before the election, though she had hosted the others. Typical media bias in this election
To Mr Lou Dobb's... There would be no long-winter! If.....
You are making your own "Long Winter".... I would never invest in a Country who Elected just Anybody, because he was Black. And History was Sorry.. The Whole is sorry for it's pastl. We were all slaves at some time.... So what??? The World will not invest in Dreams.. Especially..... OLD DREAMS...... This is not Hollywood.... Or Bollywood.....
You sure can tell the anti -Oprah Palin lovin' hillbillies by their spelling and grammar
Opera? shovanist? here way? who don't deserve?
Well Oprah is not going to buy her and her family any clothes and she may ask what did the sporting goods store and Victoria Secret have to do with the campaign. And Oprah just might ask did the GOP really have to buy her some underwear that is disgusting.
This is an issue because Republican women wanted to boycott Oprah for not having her on. Where were all the "who cares" and "so what" when that story initially broke?
Do they still have the MTV Celebrity Death Match?
Oprah W. vs Sarah P.
Do you really think someone cares or do you just put these here to let us give you heck. A good number of us are sick of Sarah Palin and a lot of us don't care much for Oprah either. Save this kind of junk for Entertainment Tonight or some show like that.
Sarah Palin is a no-brain lady that cannot stand the Oprah W.'s questions. She is best for Rush Limbauh show.
little susie, You stated the following: "Obama's not even Prez yet, and he's out there working hard on an economic recovery plan, etc. What is Palin worried about?–which TV show to be on. This, folks, is definitely a no-brainer."
Let me help you, That is because Obama is the President Elect and Palin is not the President. He should be getting ready to run this country.
What are your expectations of Palin? To line up people for key Washington positions? Work on a economic recovery plan?
That to me sounds like a job for the Pres Elect not a citizen.
Hey Oprah ask her did she really have an affair with her husbands best friend and did the GOP fix her up at Vic Secret for their own personal reason. How does it matter what she wear under the clothes they already purchased. Look at the ttv footage her family is still carrying those designers purses that were left in the belly of the plane.
Of course Palin only wants to appear where everyone adores her. Why not, she can then give the illusion that she is somebody when in fact she's on a bridge to nowhere!
Palin must see Oprah as one of the media elitist. I don't expect that she would let Barbara Walters interview her either. After all Barbara has interview every politian still alive. If that's not a media elite, I don't know what is!!
Palin has got to biggest bag of air that either party would have ver tried to squeeze through. To bad they did not get her on some good talk show so she could have showed her real knowledge ..NOT... Have 15 minutes ran out YET.....
Liberals are deathly afraid of Palin. 24/7 after she was announced it has been biased attacks and snubs by people like Oprah. Why wouldn't Oprah give her an hour live to tell her story like she did with Obama? Fair question i think.
Of course Palin would decline Oprah. Oprah would want straight answers in complete sentences. Palin can not handle that!
Oprah's for old people.
Choose Tyra if you have to choose.
She's more daring, interesting, open-minded and youthful.
Like you!
Sarah who?
Governor Palin doesn't need Oprah. Oprah is just an over-paid TV gossip. Palin has a state to run & interview requests from all over the world. Palin is a rising star, but Oprah is a falling one.
Palin is TOO DUMB to be in Oprah! think about........what is she going to talk about?
Leave Palin along and where she belongs, in the woods, in Alaska!!!!!
Is Oprah going to let her bring those kinder kare characters they used on the campaign trail.. You know the ones you used to teach kids Joe the "plum" Nancy The "nurse""that ridi foolishness. Oh only Sarah the idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why would Oprah even want her on the show? She is dull as dishwater and dumb to boot. Hopefully overexposure will get people bored with her and the media can move on to their next Bimbo of the hour.
What could Palin talk about? She will have to get a diploma just to answer Oprahs questions correctly and legibly. The only thing she knows how to do is make divisive comments to separate large groups of people and dress a moose, maybe put lipstick on a pit bull.
oh jeez. he said, she said. back to this subject AGAIN. c'mon....please put some articles on here about worthwhile people. And not Sarah Palin.....
Oprah is not GOOD enough to have Sarah on her show! Sarah is to inportant to go on the sleezey show of OPRAH! OPRAH go away, we dont want you, we dont like you.
HOW IS THIS NEWS????
what waste of an article. more boring Sarah talk. So many other worthwhile people in this world, and we have to hear about her.
Sarah is so very cool,she can call her own shots,if she hasn't won you over yet,she will-well maybe not everybody. I doubt if you will ever like her if :you don't like moms,you are against close families,you do not like high achievers,you do not like good looking women,you are looking for hand outs,etc.
Whether she did or did not. I am just glad that I don't have to endure more of her dumbness. Good riddance!
This is so funny. Does anybody really think Oprah is moping about, ringing her hands because she feels snubbed by Sarah Palin?? Come on!
I doubt Oprah really wants her on the show...Palin is just not intelligent enough to sit and have a coherent converstaion with anyone of Oprah's status..Sarah, please go back to college and bone up for 2016!!!!!
Lee, you're LYING!She is talking to those that will agree with her.That lady questioning Biden was a conservative and her husband was co chair of the state's GOP. She was asking stupid questions, while Couric and others asked honest questions but Palin was too ignorant to understand. It's an odvious snub as Oprah endorsed Obama. Get over it GOP! Obama now, and as of January 20, 2009, it'll be President Obama!
Palin needs a few more years of hooked on phonics. She may be giving alot of interviews, but she sure isnt saying much!
Ha Ha Fox is slanted the Republican way and all the others are slanted the Democratic way so dont talk.....whats so special about Oprah I don't think she is anything great and Palin should go with who treated her with diginity and I for one hope she doesnt go on Oprah"s show
Who cares about Palin. I think we all know everything we ever want to know about her. I'm fed up. The people voted against her. What more do we need to her from Sarah about??
Palin SHOULD snub Oprah! Ignore Oprah. After Tom Cruise, she isn't what she used to be.
Oprah doesn't need Palin. Palin doesn't need Oprah. What would be the point of an interview?
It is all imperfect human nature, as Oprah herself, David Letterman, Bill Maher, Barbara Streissand and Barack Obama, who is addicted to nicotine. If he is in the public eye, he should feel little responsible, how can parents tell their kids not smoke while the commander-in-chief is an example right before their very eyes, at least be responsibel to his own children and spouse, and friends. He looked right into the eyes of Tom Brokaw, on public television, and said he already quit smoking, really?? Where there is a will, there is success... in quiting smoking, in the information age everyone knows the harmful effect of nicotine, statistically. If he has nothing to hide, so why shouldn't he show his birth-certificate to the whole world, on television and in newspapers, the American people want to know about all pubilc figures??
Hi Tim, your spelling skills are horrible, I definitely know who you voted for. How difficult is it to spell Oprah. If you are mad because Palin didn't win then you are clearly very stupid. Anyone who supported that woman (notice here I focus on Palin and not McCain), is ignorant as hell. She is a human being, she is allowed to support whoever the hell she wishes to.
Just as was declared last week, Oprah trying to get attention with the same kind of gross allegations without any support for such wild claims like Star Jones or Ba wa Walters and others who have taken to accusations without merit, you know, like Rosie. All attempts for falling numbers.
Sounds like Tyra's numbers must be on the rise more! lol
Tim and Bill, you suck! Why bring up race? NO ONE has but YOU?! That's why the GOP are losing, because they focus on older white peole rather than Americans.
It will look like beauty and the beast if the "Thrilla from Wasilla" shows up-
Dont care how much money Oprah has it cant buy happiness.....but Sarah.... well...shes got it all....is that what everyone who doesn't like her is ticked off about
Sarah Palin resonates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know you "new-age" YOUNGSTERS don't like that - but too bad!
Sarah is all about CHOICE - NOT about DOGMA (you youngsters DO know what that word means - don't you? - no, don't think you do, actually - too bad!)
Who didn't snub Oprah?
If she plans on a presidential run, she shouldn't burn ANY bridges...including Oprah! It's never a good idea...would probably work when she's retiring from politics.
Okay, listen up liberal moonbats: we get the fact that you are sick of Sarah. Why don't you tell your fellow Democrats running the main stream media who will not leave her alone to leave her alone!! I'm sick of you moonbats whining about Sarah!
Oprah totally snubbed Palin and so the favor is returned.
Everyone loves to eyeball a train wreck, which is why Palin is still such a media draw. The woman is a loon.
Sarah WHO? Oprah would get better ratings booking a viable Republican candidate.
I doubt that she snubbed Oprah. She's just busy & in the spotlight.
I hope she doesn't appear on Oprah show. It's too good for Sarah palin, better people need to be on the show. Sarah Palin is too dumb to answer questions from Oprah.
Wow... couldn't even get through the comments posted here, due to all the liberal hatred.
What is it about the liberla point of view that makes it coincide so often with intolerance?
I just hope there's plenty of warning that she's going to be on Oprah or any other show, so I can be sure not to watch it.

"Geeeez!
Sarah, go HOME, have a set of quintuplets or something, maybe that will keep you in Alaska.
I am so sick of this bimbo."
ROFLMAO
OH MY, thank you for the laugh. You MUST be an Obama apologizer/promoter with that kind of projecting!
Honey, she is home. You know the place everyone is calling for these interviews, Alaska, the STATE, that she is Governor of?
It looks like the only BIMBO is you. But you must think you're the smart one making such idiotic remaks, unlike the smart one you're accusing who is the BEST rated Governor in our country.
....priceless.
I'm sick of this nutjob myself!!!!
You people are so full of yourself at first you loved oprah dirty draws now sense she supporetd My handsome new Preisident ,now all of a sudden your not loving her anymoreYou people are so toothfaced get over yourself. How yall gone be mad at oprah for supporting President Obama what did you expect. Now yall mad, all you people need Jesus.
Good, who wants to see her anyway. She can stick with the Daily Moose, for all we care.
Any request from Disney because she's a character.
Who cares?
I wonder why all you liberals are so afraid of her. I guess its apparent which party has moral value's. Enjoy Hell, take your stand...forever is a long long time. we all get free will...go ahead and make a choice...again forever is a long time.
Palin does not owe Oprah anything. Simply because she is a billionare does not mean everybody is at her beck and call. If Sarah Palin was not worthy to be on her show during the election, why does she all of the sudden want her now?
Of course she didn't snub Oprah. If you read what Oprah said, it's clear Oprah was using this opportunity to snub Palin. Oprah's excuse that she didn't have palin on befor election day because she wanted to stay out of politics is absurd since she had Obama on. So much for integrity.
Ms. Palin figured she'd get more public response by NOT appearing on Oprah-
How many past elections have we had where were still talking about the "losing" VP candidate a month AFTER the election ?!?!?
Folks lets keep in mind how Oprah snubbed Palin. I know that Oprah, will be upset that there is one person in Ameriaca who can live her life without Queen Oprah giving her advice on how to live a perfect life. HA.
Oprah snubbed Palin, Palin snubbed Oprah.
Who cares what Oprah thinks should be one her show? She is an entertainer who has a very inflated opinion of her self. No one owes Opran anything and those yolkels here who put Palin down are pathetic. Alaska has a 2008 budget of $9 trillion and income of $11 trillion the only of 50 states not in financial hurt–she must be one heck of a leader! Oprah has earned he money crying to liberal women to stupid or lazy to make it in the real world so they sit home watching TV.
Why does Oprah consider herself among serious news men and women like Greta, Larry, Wolf, and Matt. Clearly there's a difference and clearly Palin had good reason for doing their interviews and not the Oprah show. I mean, please.
I wish that people would stop talking about Sarah Palin and let her get back to Alaska to take care of her state and her children. She does not need to be placed in the limelight and made to feel that the general public cares about her and what she has to say/do. She is not that important!
Give it a break...
Lee,
I think its you that is delusional. Palin has only appeared and done fluff interviews with hosts that already back her. I agree with SAT that she needs to go on shows like meet the press and face real questions, not this sugar coated malarky she gets asked by republican mouth from Fox news. Until the woman will continue to be viewed as being a joke.
Wow, Sarah Palin is still great. While I'd like to see her on Oprah, I think her time would be better spent in Alaska working for the people in the way she does so well. Go Sarah!
We don't want to see Palin on ANY talk show or any website. The name should no longer be spoken and it will eventually go away.
So Oprah snubs Palin and McCain all electoral season and NOW she wants to interview her? Can you spell Chutzpah?
Who is running Alaska? Why won't this woman go away? Dumb is forever.The woman is dumb! Is this a cover up or people's pity for trying to prove to the world that she isn't a dummie?
I wouldn't talk to your overrated, egotistic face either...
Oprah – Leave Sarah alone!!! Sarah does NOT need you. Go back to play with Obama!!!
You do not care about Gov. Palin only about your low ratings show!!
Palin 2012!!!!!
Does most of America even want to see or hear about Palin? NO. All of this has given the egotistical Palin an even bigger feeling of self-importance. Stay in Alaska and do the work you are paid for Palin!
It's only the media who's interested in Palin. I personally would boycott any show that Palin was on. I wish she'd just go away.
Who is Sarah Palin, other than a figure the media has built? She nor her staff are bigger than the Queen of Day Time Talk Shows. Maybe Oprah, should buy Alaska and see if that gets a rise out of her. But why invite her on your show anyway. Especially after what Rather and Couric did to her...smile. You would probably have to rehearse the script with her in a cabin for a week prior to the show for her to come up with any answers that would be conversation. Sorry! Palin is a joke and Alaska is where she needs to stay.
WOW, some of the comments on here are so stupid, it is hard to believe CNN let them in. 1) Palin is NOT America's most popular gov anymore, know your facts! 2) some of you need to learn how to type and or spell! and 3) cutting down Oprah's weight? Get some therapy for God's sake.
The hell with Palin .....NO MORE PALIN PLEASE !!!!!!
YEAH, HAVE HER ON YOUR SHOW OPRAH AND LET HER TALK TRAILOR TRASH.
Oprah should not be surprised by the snub. she backed the other guy very publicly and let's face it, Palin cannot handle the heat of any question other than her own name. Why go into the other camps house, evenif its Oprah's?
TOOTHFACED!!! HAHAHAHA
Seriously, this is news?
Yes, there IS huge interest in Sarah Palin. But there's huge interest in Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and that mother who may have killed her daughter in Florida. INTEREST does not mean people respect you, it means you entertain them.
Whoa! Oprah snubbed Palin when she declared that she would have no candidate besides Obama on her show. Why should Palin now go where she was previously blacklisted? Better for Palin to wait until the new administration has a bit of history to discuss.
If Palin wants to go on Oprah it is up to her and if Oprah wants Palin on her show, it is up to her. Oprah doesn't need Palin and Palin doesn't need Oprah and I don't need either of them.
GIVE IT A REST.
250 request for interview? Phewwwww.
Everytime I read these comments about these Palin supporters, I remind myself that these are the same people that voted for G.B.- twice. Blame yourselves for whats going on right now, you-all shouldn't have anything to say for at least another eight years.
Palin is so popular right now, Oprah will have to wait to get her ratings boost. Oprah was too partisan during the campaign. If was the governor, I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of appearing on her show.
Sarah Palin you make me puke.
Yawn, who wants to see another interview with this washed-up, bible-thumping, loser? Oprah – Don't book her, just let her go away finally!!!!!
who would want to talk to opray winfrey? so she can attack sarah palin. im glad she didnt go on her show. over the y
Oprah is a has been, washed up tv host – why should Governor Palin even consider giving her the time of day!!! They are not even in the same league.
Oprah needs to quit eating ding dongs and do some real work!!!
yeah sure, now everyone has to honor Oprah. What for?
Sara Palin most sensible women don't like you.
I dislike both...blind leading the blind...it could be great fodder for the comics.
But Oprah might ask some of those "gotcha" questions! You know, the ones that anyone with the slightest bit of education who has ever read a real newspaper knows the answers to... Thank You America for not voting for this idiot.
She can appear on all the Neocon shows she wants. They will cover her ignorance. she failed to apear on Meet th Press and she wont be apearing as President or Vice President of the United States of America, Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Let her go own her merry way. We have had enough pettiness for eight years in America. It is refreshing to find someone as President Elect Obama who doesnot let pettiness run his life. From the mean and untrue things Palin said during the election, one would think she learn some lessons.Oh yea, I use the work think, sorry. Oprah ignore her, when she wants to run for president she will call you to be on your show. Palin should learn a lesson my parents taught me many years ago, don't burn your bridges and you will never know who will lend you a helping hand. It works in life and I am sure in politics also.
half sentences that don't make sense. She is an idiot
I love it!!!!! She is MORE popular than the vice-president elect and I am beginning to think the president elect!!!!! Everyone says for her to go home but she IS home!!! She is in the great state of Alaska doing her job with 25,000 employees in her charge and an 80% approval rating and they are all calling her!!!! I am so happy...Palin 2012
A DEEN BAT
Of course she didn't dear.
In other words she snubbed Oprah...but, who cares? Oprah simply stated that Palin did other interviews and not her show. It was others that made a big deal about saying Palin should go on Oprah's show and later about Oprah not having Palin on during the election. Now that the election is over, Palin is free to do the show (as her superfans wanted her too) and chose not to.
It's amazing how intolerant and hateful the liberals are. They hate Sarah Palin and think that it's a virtue. But hate is hate, no matter who is doing it.
send the bimbo home to her kids, please do! I am so tired of Palin
the failing bimbo
SARAH AND G.W are going to conspire and write a book about the morality and beliefs of the RIGHT WING KOOKS and their beliefs.[ as soon as they can get enough crayons and find out which colors are the latest fashion]
Screw O. She's not entitled to special interviews. She put herself in the middle of this election thing. Publicly blocking political people who disagreed with her candidate from being on her show. She gets what she deserves. I'm not a Palin fan but I hope she never goes on there. Where was O when all this women bashing was going on? It was ok if it helped her candidate. She crossed the line & has no right to whine about anything.
Gia, your snide comment reflects a deep problem with your self respect. Of course, that problem is indeed warranted, since if you were flattened by a steamroller into a paper-thin stain, no one would care a whit.
Interviews all over the world? Yea right. Every body lovesa goon. Just like an Edsel, good luck if thats all anyone with a brain has to think about.
Well it arrears Oprah is the one with her panties in a bunch, well her and a bunch of you whiny brats. One choose a path and another is following that path.
Sarah was too busy exchanging $180,000 worth of Republican clothes.
I hope she WON"T go on Oprah.....just gives the redneck more exposure.......donchaknow???!!!!
When Oprah would not interview Sarah CNN and all the other liberal media didn't seem to mind. Now that Sarah has not chosen Oraah you're offended? Give me a break!!!!!!!!
So your job and report real news!
The only thing I learned from these comments is that so-called liberals are very mean-spirited and like to engage in mindless name calling.
Greta, Matt & Co. are all news reporters, not soft-touch talk show hosts. Oprah's just running a daytime gossip show. Besides, Oprah only talks to people on HER schedule? Gosh – it must be nice.
Why does Gov. Palin have to talk to Oprah. Palin is a Gov. of a USA state with better things to do. Oprah is just a talk show person in another state. Does Oprah talk to her state gov.
rogmed get your facts straight. Obama was on Oprah before he was a candidate. Once they declared, Oprah said she'd have none of them on and she didn't.
Thanks said, why do anyone of them think we want to hear another word out of this horrid person? She can't even form a coherent sentence for chrissakes!
Why are the Dems so intimidated by Sarah ???
Guess what? No one cares.
@ rogmed – Oprah did NOT have Obama on her show. She stated that she was backing him and that she would have NO candidates or spouses on her show until after the election. She held true to her word.
I'm no fan of Plain, but after this election , even less fan of Oprah, she should have turned her down, hands down. Oprah had a chance to help the empowerment of women that she has preached about for years and a chance to pay back women who have made her famous and helped her achieve her fortune. The difference in Obama's and Clinton's policies was very little, so that rules out that reasoning. All parts of her show needs to be looked at closely.
I've seen several stories about Sarah Palin in the supermarket tabliods, true or untrue, which means she's finally MADE IT and will be with us for some time. To me this kind of story belongs on THAT kind of newspaper. Although I know with the gov.'s name being metioned it's going to attract about 400 or more responses pro and con.
So she didn't snub her, huh? Guess I ain't surprise but to tell you the truth, tell her spokesman, thanks for letting me know how big a star she is now. So, she decides what to do, huh? Or whenever she feels like it? I could care less who she goes to but it seems to me she wants to get on the All-Star game instead of helping the team...
just go away!
The sooner Palin gets her husband back to running Alaska and out of the limelight ...the better.
J.D.–touche' I love your response!!! (see beginning posts) Sarah is pure entertainment, a laughable folly who introduced the "Dumb" and "Dumber" phenomenon into politics. I can't wait until her narcissistic self-loving campaign in 2012, she'll get eaten alive by the press. No one in there right mind would vote for her, Paris, or Britney. In fact, she'd be better off making a music video about "shooting-up" wild moose in Alaska.
PITTBULL WITH LIPSTICK
Do you really blame her from the interviews. The first is there are so many, she dont have time for all those, Plus Letterman, Leno, Stephanopoulos, The Daily Show, and Oprah are the very people bashed her and her family why would she do any interviews with those people.
Oprah did NOT snub Palin. She interviewed PE-Obama before he announced his candidacy. But, frankly, I am a little tired of Palin.
KEN-NE-DY!
I've said : KEN-NE-DY!

Hi Cindy,
You get an A+. That is hilarious! LOL!
But keep in mind, as long as Oprah has that book club, and as long as Sarah Palin will need Oprah's book club to make Sarah's book number #1; then Oprah is the "Alpha Diva" and Sarah is a soon-to-be-pooch smooching up to Oprah to push her new book.
It' obvious that women on this fourm are jealous of Palin!
Palin, do your job in ALASKA, that you were elected to do so, okay? Stay there! You are old news.
I agree with,
" December 8th, 2008 7:51 pm ET
TOOTHFACED!!! HAHAHAHA
Seriously, this is news?"
Governor Sarah Palin has a 100% name recognition and a 91% approval amongst GOP voters. She needs no one.
Since she dragged McCain across the finish line, everything has been done by her for a purpose.
She smartly rationed out her national appearances last month only to answer the "jerks" in the McCain campaign who were trying to dent her star status for 2012. Where are those jerks now? Vintage Saracuda.
She went to two Governor Conferences. That's her job.
Turkey interview? That was local TV but it turned into record national face time for Governor Palin and it did not cost her a dime. On the spot she instinctively knew that people like CNN would look tiny trying to use the tape to ridicule Palin. They did not disappoint. After the 2004 loss, John Edwards would have bitten the turkeys' heads off for that exposure.
Public appearances in Georgia last week: To the rank and file, she is the face of the GOP and it was her duty to make sure the senate did not turn filibuster proof if Reed decides not to seat Coleman. She out shinned every other national figure who went to Georgia to campaign. Voters just dig her act.
Tomorrow she's on Canadian TV. Why? Pipeline. It's important to AK and the United States. It's her job.
Oprah is a show biz star nothing more. Sarah Palin is a sitting Governor and a political leader with a large intense national following. She'll get to Oprah when she has the time.

Palin should be thanking her lucky stars that Oprah would even be willing to sit and talk with her. Why is everyone saying that Oprah refused to have an interview with Palin to begin with? She never said that, she said she would after the election be willing to have an interview with her. Oprah supported Obama, and she hasnt' even interviewed him yet on her show, so why the heck should Sarah get special treatment? I don't understand why everyone is so mad that Oprah supports Obama..is it a crime for a black person to support another or something? Oprah has done many good things for both blacks AND whites, so don't even try to use the race card on this one...
Okay here's the deal.... Oprah said that she would not have any candidates on her show until after the election. Barack was on before he announced he was running for president. Who give's a rat's you know what if Sarah goes on the show or not NOBODY CARES. It will not make a difference, and as far as the person who wrote that Oprah's ratings are down the show is actually in reruns right now until after the first of the year.
Who cares? And who is Oprah Winfrey? Sarah Palin is the Governor of a large state, and she ran for Vice-President of the United States. Oprah is an actress and a talking head, and we, the American public, are crazy to let Ms. Winfrey have so much influence on us.
Apparently there is no bigger racist than Oprah! She needs to get over "The Color Purple" already !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a movie that MADE her - but it was JUST a movie - and things are no longer that way - TRY TO GET IT, OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Witch from Wasilla is a complete and total joke. She is an ignorant,power abusing, hate spewing divider. What is surprising is that she has any supporters at all. I guess intelligence is not at all an important qualification for a potential future V.P. or President. She is not worthy of Oprah's show.
palin is a has been wonder how long its going to take cnn to relize
that there ratings down because people cant stand palin. i will turn the t. v. off if palin comes on.
If I were Sarh Palin, I would snub Oprah too, When sarah was running against the person Oprah wanted to win, then sarah was not allowed on the show.
Now that the election is over.Now she is welcome.Now that it is not politics, they can do girl talk ?
LIKE BARAK OMGBAMA SAID "THING MAY GET MUCH WORSE BEFORE THEY GET BETTER." THATS POL-SPEAK FOR ITS ON NOW. WHEN THE POO HITS THE BLOW DRYER REALITY SETS IN. PALIN SHOULD WISE UP AND GET AWAY FROM THE SPOTLIGHT. SIDES ISNT THERE A WAR TO REPORT ON OR SOMETHING REAL. HEAR RICTARD SYMMINS IS TO BE HEALTH AND FITNESS CZAR. IT ALL FITS TOGETHER YOU SEE!!
Who cares? Ophra is old news and a media has-been.
Does Ophra feel she is entitled to Gov Palins time now that the elecetions are over–I guess so. What Ophra does not want to accept is that Tina Fey and SNL kicked her Chicago rear end when Ophra had the chance. Gov Palin can now call her own shots, not Ophra calling the shots on Presidental candidates. Gov Palin will be on Ophra's show when it is convenient for Gov Palin. I dont care who you are and what your political leanings–this is the new reality!
Did I seriously just read a comment where someone used the phrase "toothfaced"? Good lord. Like Palin, hate Palin, whatever...Oprah is a total hypocrite for even asking her to be on the show after refusing to put her on BEFORE the election. She had Barack on, she endorsed Barack, everyone was trying desperately to get Sarah on....but Oprah??? Nope. Not until AFTER the election she said.....well, if I were Sarah Palin, I would tell her to go blank herself too!
Please, are you joking? Who want to pull Palin for her political death? Palin is a joke of the past.
Cat fight. Please move this "news" to peoplemagazine.com. Thank you.
fefe December 8th, 2008 7:37 pm ET
You people are so full of yourself at first you loved oprah dirty draws now sense she supporetd My handsome new Preisident ,
-----------–
Huh? What did you actually say? Know how to spell, "fefe" NO!!!!!! So why should I even listen to you?
I, personally, never LOVED Oprah - the only thing I "liked" her in was "The Color of Purple." Apparently she's still stuck in that Spielberg "saga."
Your new President is "handsome"? By whose accounting? You obviously have a sexual fixation, "Fefe," whatever that name means - never heard of it.
This Palin-Oprah crap would not be happening if some right wingdings hadn't DEMANDED that Oprah have her on her show. They even threatened to boycott the show. So what! I don't get it... just because you are in love with Palin does not mean that everyone else should be. Personally, I can't stand her voice or the the sight of her.
GET THIS... It is Oprah's show and you betcha, she does not have to beg anyone. She probably didn't even ask Palin. So, everyone just calm down and go on with your life or get one if you don't have one.
FYI... I am not an Oprah fanatic either. I am just sick of Sarah Palin!
Oprah can invite Senator-elect Palin, soon enough.
You Liberals in typical fashion belittle those who you do not agree with and need to pulls your heads out of your simplistic hind ends. Palin is smarter then she seems. She was just totally mishandled by the Bushies that McCain imported to tutor her. How dumb was that!
Sarah Palin is still news because the media is finally noticing her star power and magnetism now that she is not a threat to their man who has been safely elected to the White House. Don't be surprised if Obama offers her a job.
Oprah didn't have ANY of the candidates on her program. Obama was on there BEFORE he announced that he was running. Oprah wanted to appear fair, she everyone knew that Obama was her choice.
Who cares. I personally can't stand either one of them.
SHE CAN'T SPELL
Sarah Palin is an "Arrogant Airhead Diva with a Nasty Attitude", especially when you ask her simple questions like "what magazines have you previously read". Sarah couldn't spell DIVA, even if you spotted her the first three letters D – I – V.
Oprah is full of herself. Who cares if Palin 'snubbed' her? What, she's Buddha reincarnated now?
Oprah, do us all a favor and get off TV, out of store shelves, and go fix the mess you started with your school in Africa. Those children deserve far more than your hubris at their expense.
Besides, how many of your fans want to see Palin, anyway? Umm...none!
For those are obsessive and compulsive, please
take a cool shower and go to sleep and dreaming
for the change to no where. A Obomanation!
To Kitty, and other Palin-ites:
I think you meant to say that Oprah doesn't need Palin! I agree, and hope that she never appears on her show!
It's bad enough that she, as a political non-entity, has stolen the spotlight from her mentor, John McCain, with his years and years of experience. But she also elevates the fact that the only reason she is still news is because of her looks! If she looked like _________(fill in the blank), no one would be hearing anything about her!
Not only does this Palin-ism speak volumes about the Republican party in a negative way; it reveals the fact that the media has the power to put someone – anyone, on a pedestal. A very troubling thing it is, when looks trumps intelligence, integrity, quality and quantity.
Sarah ROCKS! Oprah DOES NOT! Guess Oprah's feelings are hurt!
If Governor Palin wants to be serious contender in 2012, that'll cinch it. Please do dingbat.
Santa is on his way and the caribou need to be fed, so there is no time in the schedule. Palin's press secretary forgot to give that reason for declining appearances.
)
LOL
I couldn't have said it better than J.D.!
I like it when Sarah Palin is on the ticker. It's fun to kick a pitbull when it is down.
It's good sport and she deserves all of the trashing she gets.
Hope she stays on for another month or so.....then I will be finished with my fun!
Hope she runs in 2012 so we can get more laughs and Obama can have 4 more years! Go Sarah Go!
Still waiting to bid in the clothing auction for charity....maybe she can do the auction on Oprah's show.
Opray is acting like an idiot! she needs to grow up.
I laugh out loud. Oprah has more smarts and clout than Gov Palin ever thought to have. Oprah had NONE of the candidates on her show during the campaign. In doing so I think she showed her ethics. Trust me, Oprah is the least of her worries on the world/national stage. This woman's breadth and depth on most any issue is minimal. She operates from works, lies, distortions, and downright meanness. She is delusional and a legend in her own mind. I must admit, I would pay to see her on Oprah.
And for the Palin supporters. Please get off the "feel sorry for Sarah train." It has left the station. She did not get half of the "vetting" she should have or could have from the media and the debate, well as a woman...I cringed that this is what some would consider the answer in a female candidate. I CRINGED!!!
Maybe she could be on a hunting show!!!!
I thought Oprah was really catty about it. When is she going to retire? I can't stand Oprah.
To: FreeNLovIt December 8th, 2008 6:17 pm ET
Honey, this is America. Palin will be on Oprah's show, whenever Palin is ready.
______________________________________________________
You don't get it do you? Oprah calls the shots on her show. Do you really think that Oprah wants her on her show? She is just following up on the demand made by the lunatic fringe. Remember, she said that after the election she MAY ask Palin. So, if she really asked, it was done so that she would not appear to be a liar.
P.S. If Palin is the best that the GOP has to offer, they are in pitiful shape!
Why dos Oprah think that because someone dos not want to come on her show they are snubbing her.....maybe shes got better things to do...Oprah do you want to come to my house or you snubbing me
Men that are sure that they are men,like Sarah's husband,really like her !
If Palin is smart she will go on Oprah. It's still the highest rated talk show in syndication, even after a quarter century on the air. No where else can Palin reach such a large & diverse audience of women. And Palin has no reason to be mad at Oprah. Oprah didn't have ANY of the candidates on her during the campaign; even Obama hasn't been on since 2006. Palin should be honored that Oprah wants her on.
Quite frankly – who gives a poop about either Sarah Palin or Oprah?
I don't want to see her anywhere except in Alaska doing her job for as long as she has it. After all, she has been ignoring it for quite a while now.
Of course Palin snubbed Oprah, shes a typical repub. If your not with her, then your against her, yet she preaches bi partisanship, (BS) . Starting to realize that she is just plain wierd.
Who IS Oprah?
Look; why OW is a financial success has nothing to do with her innate lack of intelligence or talent; just promotional & producer's greed. Personality? Of course, but SP has personality and mor latent intelligence and, if you will pardon me, in spades. You do play bridge don't you?
Sarah PLEASE don't appear on the the Queen of Tears show – have some self respect. You want to be jumping on the couch like Tiny Tom. Oh I can just see it, "you have a baby who has Downs syndrom", (slowly turning to camera, dabs corner of eye with Paper Towel), it must have been terribly difficult for you (frowning ever so gently, dab at other eye) looking at audience for a collective "oh isn't she so brave") enough to make you vomit. And then she'll just insert her knife between the shoulder blades.
Lying like that – and just before Christmas....
What will Santa think ?
I'm tired of hearing about Sarah whats her face, please her 15 minutes of fame is over.
I wish everyone would stop bashing Palin, McCain, Obama, Hillary, Bush, etc. Get a life, stop hanging around smoked filled internet cafe's and staying up late just to throw hate towards everyone. If you don't like the current state of our country go buy American, conserve energy, stop buying on credit and don't buy stock from companies that pay execs million dollar salaries
SUPER BOWL NARRATOR:
"Hey Sarah! What are you going to do now that you lost the election for the Republicans by driving the Moderates into Obama-Biden hands?"
SARAH PALIN:
"I'm going back to the Alaskan Independence Party so I can start a revolution and invade the lower 48 states with my 9,000 "gun-toten, helicopter-moose-shooting, non-reading, Joe Six-Pack Wasilla Hillbillys".
Who cares who snubs Oprah. Now that she's been elevated to a God, I find her a bore.
Who cares? This story should be covered by Ryan Seacrest on E!, not CNN. I don't like Oprah any more than I like Sara Palin. Wouldn't waste time watching either lady. I won't respect Palin until she does the Sunday morning news circuit.
GO GIRL!!!
YOU ARE NOT oprah's PUPPET...!!!
..like dr phil..and o's other puppets.!!!
If the story about the requests for interviews is true....... they just want her to come on their shows to see what stupid remark she'll make next.
yes she did....and good for her! screw Oprah.
Palin...you go girl!
WHO CARES?
PALIN IS A KOOK.
I'll try again. Oprah deserves to be snubbed by every woman not just Plain. She preached on the empowerment of women for years and turned around and goes for Obama during the primary. Their policies were not that far apart, so that rules out that reasoning. All aspects of her show needs to be looked at closer by all women. Women were the ones to make her famous and helped to make her rich, She made us look foolish!
Oprah definitely doesn't need Sarah Palin for any ratings. She said it would be nice if she could talk to her. But, if not, who cares!!
Sarah knows what she is doing. She just doesn't want to talk with Oprah since she was a big supporter of Barack Obama and he won instead of McCain. I can tell from her speeches that she would not want to talk with Oprah. And, let her talk with Greta Van Susteren, she(Greta) and Sarah are on the same level.
Oprah is doing just fine without her.
My problem with Palin is the following. First she refuses to educate herself on the issues that are dear to Americans. Let s be honest, for those who continue to say, wow, she is intelligent, I have to wonder what your IQ is. Whenever she speaks during an interview, I literally need a translator because her answers are so ridiculous. I just love how a virtually uneducated woman can continually scream sexism despite the obvious, she simply is not qualified. As far as Oprah, I think she can survive.
Who cares. It's apparently that Palin can't articulate a coherent sentence anyway. I'm surprised that there's so many people in this country that wan't to listen to Palin's vacuous blather.
I particularily have not been a fan of Ms. Palin's by any stretch...but I commend her in holding her dignity. She has every right to select which media outlets she should like to work with...and quite frankly if Oprah put those stupid stipulations on me....I would tell her to shove her show x%@& permanently.
Everything about Palin is silly, silly, silly and she is kind of fits in this silliness.
If anything wasn't it Oprah that snubbed Palin by stating she did not want her on because she did not want to lend support to a canidate while the election was ongoing. Her far fetched rationalization of this was to say that she only had Barack and Hillary on before because it was still the primaries.
I think Oprah is full of it considering she still won't have her on even now. Oprah made her millions promoting her gender and feminist causes but the moment her gender conflicted with her race she changed her tune and chose her race first.
You don't have to be a fan of Palin or even like her, but it does not change the fact that she is in a position of power in respect. She is in a position that Oprah made her career on promoting women to try and get to. So now that a woman has reached where Oprah once dreamed she won't have that woman on because she is not in the same party? Someone explain Hypocrit to Oprah.
Oprah was not biased through the campaign. She actually was very smart because she had endorsed a candidate she said she wasn't going to have anyone on her show. But see that's what happens when you own. That's her show and no one can tell her who she can and cannot have on.
I can't even picture palin on the oprah show as being anything near realistic. Why?? Oprah does not invite people who act like that on her show. She hosts the angel network! Oprah invites guests like Maya Angelou, Dr. Phil, celebrated authors. She is one of Obama's biggest supporters. Why the heck would she have Palin on her show? Perhaps to make peace with a person who preached ignorance, lies and hate against Obama on the campaign trail? That is the only thing that I can think of.
Why should Palin go see Oprah?? Oprah can pick & choose when she wants to interview people, so why can't Palin pick & choose when she wants to be interviewed, especially if it's Oprah?? I haven't watched Oprah in YEARS!!! It's not just because she wanted Obama in for president. She's trying to tell everyone what to read, what to eat, how to vote & so on! I don't need someone to tell me, I have a mind of my own, I don't Oprah to run my life!
Funny how when you get $$$, you automatically get power!!!
Go Palin! Give back to Oprah what she did to you!!!
WEBSTER DICTIONARY
Palin, Sarah: = = A gift to comedians that just keeps on giving.
for the loveof god.. why doesnt palin crawl in a hole and hibernate for a longggg time???,,, shes history,,, and thats all,, folks!!!!!!
so what? Oprah invited Palin and Palin didn't have time for the show.
What bothers me, that Sarah sees Russian from Alaska and considers it as foreign policy experience...
I don't care about any shows, but i do care about the person who is planning to run for the President in 2012 to "drill, baby drill" and to implerment other promises...There is nothing to say about Palin so far but just : "she is so great, she is energizing" GOP". Are you serious??? You, who were born in the most powerful country in the world, working hard and not able to pay off your houses for the rest of your life...Is that what you really need?
I will turn my head to this folksy candidate only if she will be back to govern her state succesfully, will implement projects she promised, will take care of special needs children, at least her own, will become intelligent, and will take care of her children, pregnant and hopefully, married daughter and high-school- dropped son-in-law
Please, Gov. Palin, please do not give legitimacy to this African American woman whose claim to fame is really nothing more than the mercurial gain and loss of weight.
What is wrong with the media??
Don't we have bigger more important issues than Palin or Oprah??? Frankly, my dear I don't give a dam. I am sick of them both.
Sarah is just afraid she might have to answer hard questions.
I think we are all tired of hearing about Palin. Despite this, i would love to see her go on Oprah so she can get ripped to shreds. Oprah has too much dignity and poise to do that to her, though, so maybe this is just wishful thinking...
Who is Oprah, anyway?
You know, I think Biden is likable and am sure I could enjoy having a beer with him, I am dead set against his policies, but still a decent guy.
But this hatred of Sarah Palin by liberals is simply beyond me. I can only conclude that she strikes a great fear in them, for their hate goes beyond any logical reasoning.
I wouldn't go on Oprah, Letterman or any of the Obama-groupie shows as yet. They couln't give the Governor, the only one with actual executive experience, the time of day during the elections. They could, however, beat the war drum for the Liberal. I think they just want dirt on her in case she decideds to put Obama out in 2012.
Oprah said she would not have anyone running for office on her show, not even Mr. Obama. NO SNUB AT ALL.
GET THE FACTS RIGHT!
Paul Mooney: Sarah Palin... Redneck DIVA!!! lol...
Forget about her. She's a has been -no more than a punctuation mark in an ongoing political saga. Giving her any more media attention is like giving media attention to bird droppings that fall on our windshields every day. Clean it up and move on.
Why does palin still have a "camp"? She will go on Oprah when her 15 minutes are up...as long as the media keeps bringing her up, her head will continue to grow..... like my grandma used to say "she's smelling herself".
There are important things happening in the world..."Rioting rages in Greece for third day", "3 die on ground as fighter jet crashes, "Stocks rally for a second day", "Congo peace talks open with U.N. plea".
"Palin didn't snub Oprah, spokesman says", not important!
Oprah, get over your hypocratic self. You are not the universally beloved goddess of all things that you think you are. Millions of us don't watch you or care about you, so deal with it.
And aside from that.... Palin and Oprah sitting down together? That would just be way too much hypocrisy, cluelessness, and self-delusion in one room. Let's not tempt the Four Horsemen, shall we?
Come on now. Can you really blame her. She has to be careful who she talks to from now on. One visit to the Oprah show and it could ruin her.
She thrives in front of crowds of carefully selected Conservatives, but would not be in front of mainstream america.
She might get booed on Oprah and she might also get asked tough questions by Oprah. She is a persona, not a real person.
You have to pick and choose were you will do best.
Its like a prize fighter, you only let them fight with the opponents that will help them build up confidence until they are actually ready for a real fight.....
Oh for God's sake.
Seriously-
Who cares?
Haven't people recognized that this woman (Palin) is a complete idiot? Media, please stop doing stories on her. This is your responsibility. You have influence in what people know, do the right thing this time.
I'm not worried about these types of articles, these tend to go away in one day and then we move on to a new one. What worries me is the behavior I have witnessed with Palin's party base. I find it interesting that so much hate and racist comments come from the Christian base of the Republican party. This makes me shudder. We know what happens when religious fanaticism and over-zealous patriotisom meets agression, it is dangerous combination for any country. These people wrap themselves in the flag and God so tightly they can't see the forest through the trees. Palin is playing to the party base with what interviews she chooses. Oprah is not liked by these people because she is perceived as a new age liberal and Palin does not want to be seen pandering to this crowd. This would not go over well with her base.
Maybe Sarah would go if they invited the freaking turkey she shared her last interview with! Enough Palin!!!!! Enough!!! Boycott Palin!!!!
Good for Palin! Any idiot can become Talk Show Host, but being a governor and VP candidate requires some real education and intelligence. Oprah should lose weight and get a degree before talking to St. Sarah!!
Yesterday, Governor Palin indicated that only if Oprah joins her new age church, then she might go on the show.
Oprah is over rated
Oprah is a hypocrite. Good for Palin. To hell with Oprah.
I haven't the slightest clue as to why Oprah would want to attempt to communicate with that nitwit of a ding. Is Bozo still around, I think her time would be better wasted talking to him, rather than Sarah Palin. Oprah, I'm not exactly a fan of yours, but I know you can do better than that racist heffa!!. Find out if Richard Simmons is available, he's more likeable and entertaining.
Palin??Who?? Who cares. We don't need a beauty queen in the white house. In four years she will be facing challenges presented by her downs child. Her children need her energy. She needs to stay home and take care of the children she has brought into the world and forget about politics.
Does anyone really care anymore?
No more Palin, please. She has not changed at all. I thought she would have learned by now... sadly, no! Americans deserve better and please stop talking about her on CNN!
Oprah should stop whinning....
What's Oprah's problem? All she needs to do is Ask the Universe for Sarah to be on her show, Feel and Behave as if Sarah is coming, and Be Open to receiving her.
It's not like this is some big Secret
Why should Sarah accept?? Oprah is not a God, she is just a woman who happened to be in the right place at the right time, and has made her fortune from it. She's really not that talented. Being offered a spot on Oprah is not something everyone craves – I would certainly not want to be in her audience – all of them make complete fools of themselves. Sarah should do what SHE wants to do, not follow the pathetic crowd.
Couldn't get this in anywhere else...but people please give the whole birth certificate thing a rest. Go to Factcheck.org and search for yourself. They have see, held, touched, examined the official certification of birth. He was born in Hawaii. He is a US citizen. He is the President-elect. And on Jan. 20, 2009 – HE WILL BE PRESIDENT of all of us. We've had to suffer during the past 8 years...TAG...YOU'RE IT! But I think we're all going to be pleasantly surprised and excited for the future.
I love the way all the people who love Palin can't spell. Guess that shows how intelligent her base is. By the way, for the blogger who said she's the most popular governor in the states, you better check your rating figures. Her popularity has fallen big time in Alaska. I think the Alaskans got a good look at the intelligence level of their governor when she was on the ticket for vice president.
Okay...first let me start by saying that yes, I am an Obama supporter and have been since primaries. But, why are there all of these crude comments about Palin? So she wasn't qualified to be VP...well, let me ask you something. If someone asked you to be the VIce President...would you say no? Of course not, you'd say how much can I learn in x amount of time...lol. So, she doesn't want to be on Oprah...okay...let them snub each other until the cows come home...aren't we in a recession? No, of course we're not thinking about that....lets just continue to beat the dead horse.
Get over yourself Oprah! Anyone with a brain does not care about you or your show.
It is beyond belief that the media, who love to hate so many people, can't just let this gadfly disappear into an Alaska snowbank so we don't have to listen to her crap any more... OPRAH, WHO CARES WHETHER YOU SNUBBED SARAH OR SHE GAVE YOU THE COLD SHOULDER... OR IS IT BECAUSE GRETTA GOT AN INTERVIEW YOU DIDN'T? What ever the reason drop her, she's only trying to use you to keep her face on the news... We the public are SICK OF HER....
Get her off the media, pleeeeease!
If Palin is on Oprah, then that is one show that I will definately not be watching.
Oprah is such a whiny cry baby.
Bill
O could buy and sell you. Palin doesn't deserve to be in the same room as O
BOBBY JINDAL....Now there is a serious contender for the GOP to consider but palin.......nawwwwwwww been there done that, she should go back to school and get an education. Her daughter's have got to also get an education especially concerning sex education.
One is pregnant and the other is a prime candidate to end up the same way, the rednecks in A laska are buzzing around the house when she is out of State, and that appears to be often. Who is running A laska anyway, she is never around. To much time spent on this woman, time to move on.
Things are crazy now days. Just need to know that its over now.
Palin misjudges the opportunities for herself by not appearing on Oprah's show. However, Palin's advisors are smart to wait until they are sure that she can answer questions intelligently before letting her appear on "Oprah".
GET SOME REAL NEWS AND GET RID OF THE HAS BEEN!!! SHE IS AS DUMB AS A DOOR KNOB.
What does it matter if she didn't want to be on Oprah's show. Oprah fired the first shot when she allowed Barack Obama to come on her show and announce his presidency, and clearly backed him in the election, but wouldn't let any other candidate come on the show to talk to the American public. I wouldn't come on her show after that either. Media needs to be impartial and bipartisan when it comes to allowing their viewers to see all points of view, not just their own. That's the reason a lot of Americans no longer trust the media, because they think they are handing them a bunch of lopsided bull. Doesn't matter if you are Oprah, CNN, or Fox News...tell all sides of the story and let the public make up their own mind about things.
All I have to say to Winfrey is "Whaaa". And I might add, I have lost respect for you.
The majority could care less if they ever see Palin again!
Oh poor baby Oprah, she is soooo used tio getting her way. Funny thing Oprah refused to have Palin on her show during the campaign. Why does Oprah think the world revolves around her and her stupid show. Maybe if Oprah buys her some of her favorite things like a car, a house, and a few baubles she will come on her show to get the goods. Why not try it Oprah, throw some cash at her.
Someone called Palin trailer trash?
Well Oprah is nothing more than Chicago trash. Just because she is loaded does not make her any better than anyone else. She showed her true racism when she refused to interview anyone BUT Obama before the elections.
If i were Sarah, I would tell Oprah,,,,, blow it out your fat butt,,,,,,,,
It's not like Oprah Winfrey is anything more than a talk show hostess who likes to review books, talk to the latest popular star, promote consumerism (Oprah's My Favorite Things), complain about diets and weight loss (when the problem is every time her arm bends her mouth flies open), and a host of other talk show goofy stuff. What's in it for Palin? Now I don't care for Palin, but I also don't care for the Oprah Winfreys complaining that someone doesn't want to go on her show, especially after Winfrey's personal poltiical choice was for the other candidate. I mean I wouldn't want to sit down with someone who is clearly not supportive of my campaign in front of Winfrey's unsympathetic, biased audience. Would you? Winfrey just doesn't have that much money. LOL.
Sorry Palin, you went to the WRONG profession....you could be one of Playboys best models.... this is where u really belong..
Where are all the people who used to think being SMART was a virtue. Oprah plies to the lowest common denominator, "I love Ofrah". Sarah Palin doesn't even rise to the level of a usual, BRAIN DEAD GUEST. She truly has nothing to say, even to Ofrah... "I can see Russia, and I can see it's a country not like a country I have ever lived in, basically a place where different people live, like differently..."
Palin is an illiterate Diva and Oprah has so many more important and interesting guests to interview. Palin is history. Palin is a poster child for illiteracy.
Oprah SNUBBED Palin. What goes around comes around.
I am very interested in Sarah Palin. So are millions of Americans. She has a lot to offer us. I am a Democrat – never voted Republican before until November 2008. Liberals need to face facts. She is a political force to be reckoned with.
She is beautiful women and liberal so jeoules...because obama wife and hillary NOT pretty at all spend to fix michelle hair spend % k to make smooth

If the Republicans want to foist Sarah as 2012 fodder, let's project the ad to be "George W., ONLY COMPLETELY STUPID!"
Ues pepil in Amareica sures cant spel very wale.
Oprah should just get over the little dose of "getting even...."
HELLO!!!
Did you really think Palin would come on. She'll go on Waynes World before she does Oprah!
Don't do it "O" don't do it. Please!!!!!. Let that woman do whatever she does in Alaska, and save us a headache.
She is beautiful women and liberal so jeoules...because obama wife and hillary NOT pretty at all spend to fix michelle hair spend 5 K to make smooth
As a Republican I would echo every other comment that says, "Who cares." Oprah, stop whining. Get over it.
Why should it be news that a politician snubs a talk show host. So frickin' what if it is Oprah? Why does a media personality have so much sway over the public's thinking that the vast (or should I say vapid) majority of us just can't imagine that anyone anywhere at any time would turn down an invitation to appear alongside her? Especially a politician. This is ludicrous. Can we please re-redefine what "News" is? This garbage about media personalities hardly qualifies.
Oh and Palin has more money than you can think about. Alaska has more oil than anywhere and she can't be stupid because she runs that state. As far as her clothes many of you can't talk. b/c our tax dollars are feeding you tonight. When you walk in your section 8 apartment or house remember that. I think many heads have blown up and that is sorry. Obama is just a man and you need to realize that and by the way he is half white as well. So he is not the first black president but the first bi racial. By the way are we gonna get the Black Rights now since he is so called a Black president? LOL Would not stoop to that level.
Right now I have a lot of respect for Palin. If she went on Oprah's show, I would lose some of that respect. The only place I would like to see the two of them together is a debate hosted by a nuetral moderator.
Why should Governor Palin waste her time talking to the Pied Piper of Harpo when she has a state to run. I doubt Palin is interested in listening to some BS questions about clothes and incest. That's about all libs like the Pied Piper can think about.
Sarah... your 15 minutes called... you're late.
Sure there are not hard feelings that the most powerful woman in the media helped get the other guy elected.
Bill
I think Palin is a waste of space. shes good at being a breeder thats about that. Yea now that Palin is out of the running NOW she is talking. Can you not see how dumb she is ?
Oprah whether you like her or not is a very bright woman who has been very successful and she gives millions back to charities both in Chicago and abroad
IF Palin and Oprah were drowning I would save Oprah any day
Please, more Palin stories. She's the carwreck that keeps on giving.
Oprah, you are wasting your time with this IDIOT.Leave this MUDCAKE alone and don't polute your excellent show. She needs what you already have.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
nobody needs Oprah
Opray, don't bother, she still has nothing worth while to say. Put on someone interesting.
Not everyone cares about what Oprah Winfrey wants. If I were Sarah Palin, I wouldn't go on her show either. Why would anyone subject themselves to a hostile interview if they didn't have to? As far as the Sarah bashing that is going on in this venue, I don't understand why you all still hate her so much. It's not like she won or anything. Sarah is back in Alaska doing her thing, and I agree, it's time to move on. Your ugly comments only reflect on yourselves.
Oprah, don't bother, she still has nothing worth while to say. Put on someone interesting.
Oprah don't worry not having a one on one meeting with palin,By talking with palin will made your thinking stupid, send palin to get a teahing lesson from Bill Orielly before coming out on your talk show. Bill Oriely said the woman is smart> She can be tutored before coming out on any talk show. Palin needs to concentrat on learning her geography about Africa as a continent,or a country. Hell with palin 1012
OPRAH...what a windbag! During the election, she did not want anything to do with Palin...now that she has lost much of her audience for her politics, she is trying to go back to the middle as if nothing ever happened...maybe she can be Obama's press secretary? Or, inner city school charter member? No, wait...she only does those things in other countries...
Have you seen Oprah lately so what if she gained weight back 1 out of 3 Americans are obese and its projected to be 100% within 20 years.
Yes Palin is thin and works out and I will give her credit for that but shes a hypocritical right wing alleged Christian that knows how to buy Victoria Secret Panties...... Palin is starting to wrinkle, she will look as old as any one else in a few years
If she had, she would have gained immediate prestige in my eyes!
Snub her Sarah. Who cares what Winfrey thinks or if she gets herr nose bent out of shape. Rermember, she doesn't "endorse" political candidates, oh wait, that bit of integrity left this year. Don't let your people make excuses. You are too good for her show. Let them know that the Oprah show rates just below the local "pets on parade" show Saturday mornings at 7:00 AM in Butte, Montana.
Who does Oprah think she is? Overated,overwieght and overhyped.
She sold her soul when she voted color instead of gender.
Sarah should not snub Oprah. She is a beautiful woman. She should go on the show and steal the limelight away from her. I have never watched Oprah because i have better things to do with my time, but i would PAY to see this one.
STOP WRITING ABOUT THIS PATHETIC WOMAN. GOOD BYE FREAK!
If Palin and her supporters keep making noise about running her again in 2012, let's hear her speak to the issues. Palin is pretty slick about veering off into her weird tangents: "it's that maverick thing over there, then, that we're all wanting" or "the towns I visit love America deeply as we do" etc. etc. I have yet to hear Palin speak intelligently or even coherently about ANY real issue. Maybe Oprah Winfrey can ask Palin some REAL QUESTIONS and insist Palin answer them. But, we'll probably here more of the inane ramblings that we heard when Palin talked to Katie Couric during the election.
Who wants to hear Palin on any talk show anyway? That grating voice of hers during the campaigning sent chills up my spine. The less this woman is in the media spotlight, the better. Palin is so conservative and so tunnel-visioned, I suspect she pees through a straw. She doesn't believe in abortions, nor global warming, nor getting off the OPEC teat, etc. She's an idiot and I, quite frankly, am sick of hearing about her. The only thing I want to hear is that she has given up her political career at the same time she is returning her expensive wardrobe! Keep her off the talk shows and in her mukluks and shooting precious moose and wolves in Alaska! She is worthless.
Palin is finally realizing she is WAY out of her league....maybe she could hold her own with Hannah Montana or the Muppets????
Oprah, what goes around, comes around.
Niobe
Tori Yes I would have declined. If I was the mother I said I am and I had a pregnant out of wedlock daughter and just had given birth to a special needs child. I would have thank Mccain for the honor but said I needed to devote myself to my children and declined. I was undecided going into the Republican convention but when I saw that baby being carried around like a sack of potatoes and then found out that Bristol was pregnant , I turned off on Palin . I said this woman buts ambition first........ its all a sham her Christian Motherhood stance . SO yes I would have declined my child always came first
OK... The day she stop reciting the stump speech she will be on Oprah. Palin needs Oprah to sell her book and movies so people just wait and see... She depends on Oprah and that is why they had to get a statement out. If she didn't care she would have just shut up!!!!!
Palin is a user people... she will use anyone and anything including her children to get her way watch and see.
Palin is an outdated politico. Let her go to Alaska to hunt moose. Why does CNN waste space on Palin?
WHO CARES SHE IS NOBODY BUT A FAILURE
The fact that many of you are still bashing her, shows you are still afraid of her. Go PALIN!!!
I doubt that Oprah gives a darn whether this vacuous woman is on her show. It's not like she's desperate for interesting guests. Palin is probably afraid Oprah will make her look like the empty head she is.
Really? This is what's on Cnn? Look, I'm a huge Obama fan and all, but come on, give it a rest. Oprah, chill. Sarah, take these next eight years and try to prepare for the race between you and Hillary Clinton (it really seems like you need the prep. time). I imagine you could at least carry Alaska, if you try. Come on, next article, and real news this time, please.
Don't bother with her Oprah, she's yesterdays news and we don't need any more laughs right now Tina Fey took care of that.
Oprah who?
Hi Kora. Your punctuation skills are pathetic, as is your inability to realize when you've created run on sentences. And your awkward use of pronouns is appalling. Interesting that you would choose to point out Tim's spelling errors, when you can't write your way out of a brown paper bag. I bet I know who you voted for – yourself.....
Please just go back to Alaska and stay there!!!
No more Palin! Beside Oprah probably just ask her just to follow through with a statement post election. I don't think she meant it nor does she care.
Her fan base doesn't even care for this uneducated (piece together a degree from 10 different colleges) women. This approach is beneath most of America who voted for the RIGHT person.
I don't like the term Hillbilly but gee! It is what it is.
SORRY LYNNE!
Why doesn't she agree to meet with Oprah after the next election? Despite Oprah saying otherwise, she did use her program and position to help elect Obama. Now I don't really care that she did, I do care that she is denying it.
I love the way Sandee in Portland is so selective in noting the spelling errors of Palin's supporters, while ignoring the errors of Obama supporters.

Is that a reflection of the intelligence of the Obama base, Sandee?
Oprah, get over it! And yourself...
sheesh!
Please make Palin GO away...the lower 48 states don't want her!
I've got a fever and there's only one prescription: more cowbell, I mean, more Sarah Palin.
We just can't get enough of her!
PS: I'm an Obama guy. My thinking is the more they see of her, the more bat-guano crazy she sounds! Remember Katherine Harris.
I'm sure Sarah Palin will eventually be on her show. Obviously people can't find enough civility to keep negative comments to themselves. It only shows ignorance. How do you expect people to be tolerant when you can't show tolerance yourselves? I didn't vote for Obama, but he's my new President. The election is over, let's get this country back on track by working together. I don't ask political affiliations if I respond to a car accident, or if I run into a burning house. Grow up already and just stop this nonsense.
why is this a issue that sara palin is not appearing on oprah show?who said that sara palin was stupid? I think not,she is smart enough not to go on oprah show!!!!! Houston Tex.
Enough of Oprah! I do not want to see Palin on Oprah's show. I'd lose respect if she appeared on her show. Glad to see that Palin's star continues to shine.
Palin should pick something at her level, like Nick at Night, the Muppet Show, Romper Room and the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
@ sandee in Portland
Your grammar is atrocious, dear. Also, feel free to properly capitalize.
OMG! TIM HOOKED ON PHONICS DUDE OR SPELL CHECK. OR HECK JUST PICK UP A MAGAZINE THATS NOT ABOUT GUNS AND HUNTING! O-P-R-A-H-S NAME IT BOUND TO BE IN ANY ONE OF THEM.
OPRAH SNUBBED GOVERNOR PALIN FIRST.
OPRAH IS SO SELF ABSORBED WITH HERSELF, SHE CAN'T SEE THE TRUTH!
HER SHOW RATINGS AND MAGAZINE SALES ARE IN THE TOILET AND SHE IS TRYING TO GET THEM BACK – TOO LATE!
MOVE ON GIRLFRIEND!
To Tim: Most of us appreciate one another's comments to some extent, but you really should ask Santa for a dictionary. I won't go into great detail about your poor spelling and grammar, however, I think we can start with Oprah, NOT "Opera", where you listen and watch a staged performace of music and choreography. Is there any doubt who you voted for in the election? Duh.
Palin Palin Palin who care who care who care who cares
Palin Who??????
Sarah Palin is going to be in the public eye – that is, your eye – for a long, long time to come. Even after Obama leaves office, Palin's long political career will just be getting up to full speed. So, get used to it – Ms. Sarah is very much in your future.
People who watch Oprah don't have much to do to begin with. Palin on the Oprah show is another don't care in politics and doesn't mean anything. Oprah just wants to make her look bad and pump up her own ego. She's pumped up enough as it is. Oprah has an admitted political agenda with Obama. Why would anyone want to go into a loosing biased discussion? Palin won't do it. Forget about it. Anyone who wants to see this is disturbed. Are all Democrats just wanting to beat the dead dog Republicans into the ground here? Not much of a gracious winner huh? This continues to show Oprah's true colors, refusing to interview Palin until after the elections. She just continues to polarize the country which isn't what we need.
GOVERNOR PALIN IS WONDERFUL!
I HOPE SHE RUNS IN 2012!
I am a definite Obama supporter and I can't say that I like Palin at all, but this serves Oprah right. I've been so sick of her self-righteous attitude. Palin probably declined because she knows Oprah isn't a fair journalist in the matter especially since Oprah publicly rallied on Obama's behalf. Again I am in no way a Palin supporter and find her disqualified, but her denying Oprah's request only serves Oprah right. I've always been put off by O's arrogance. She may be very powerful, but believe me, she knows it and manipulates people when necessary.
PALIN 2012!
PALIN 2012!
DO YOU REALLY THINK PALIN WILL APPEAR ON OPRAH WINFREY'S SHOW. OPRAH, WILL EAT HER ALIVE ON THAT SHOW. PALIN IS NOT UP TO THIS. SHE NEEDS SOMEMORE SCHOOLING BEFORE APPEARING ON THAT SHOW. PALIN 20'
Who cares if Palin ever appears on Oprah show ? Havent we heard enough of that screechy voice and incomprehensible and gramatically incorrect sentences ? If Oprah is really interested, just throw some money at her. Palin is cheap and not picky when there are freebies to be had, just about $180,000 will do – a drop in the ocean as far as Oprah's wealth is concern.
So first people were pissed that she couldn't go on Oprah during the election, and now they're defending that she isn't going on Oprah after she was invited? Make up your minds.
Sarah Palin is a rock star. she has an 80% approval rating in her home state of Alaska. 57 million people voted for macai/palin, she continues to draw large crowds where ever she goes . People really like her honesty,her resolve and her practical approach to problems.I like her and i think she will be a force in 2012 if she decides to run.The continual bashing of her only seems to make her stronger as was shown when she campaigned in Georgia.The crowds were huge and they all seem to like her a lot. I wish we had more honest and straight forward type politicians of her ilk in Canada where i come from . GO SARAH2012
and why do we care? stop talking about it because no one is interested. Geez she is like a rash that never goes away.
I wish Palin would say she is snubbing Oprah. Oprah made her opinions very clear despite keeping her show "political free," so why should she reap any benefit from Palin now. In fact I think it's sort of insulting that she'd even ask.
Palin is just scary, and the people who support her are even scarier.
Sarah Palin is a huge piece of crap. Who cares what she does??? FTB.
Why should Palin grace Winfrey's show? Winfrey is just a highly overrated, extremely boring egoist who, like so many others with limited talent, was in the right place at the right time and has a great PR organization backing her. Let Winfrey fawn over the Obama family – she seems to do that just fine. But spare us the "gee she won't talk to me" whine. You're not the end-all-be-all and most of the country could care less what you have to say – about anything.
As for you intolerant Liberals, it's amazing how your "wunderkid" is changing his tune daily from his campaign promises, and he hasn't even been sworn in yet. Are we ready yet to say "I told you so"?
Oprah fell all over Obama and endorsed him. Then, snubbed Palin and wouldn't put her on her show. So, why then should Palin jump when Oprah now wants to interview Palin? Oprah is nothing more than a spoiled talk show host whose ratings have declined ever since she enthusiastically endorsed Obama.
Palin can do her ire & brimstone act or maybe fall on the ground and speak in tongues.
Better yet, just go away Palin. You had your more than 15 minutes of fame. Most people see you for the fool that you are.
who cares!!!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
please do not report on her again until she does something worth noting!!!!
please please please
Palin is "too busy"! HA HA HA
WHO CARES about what this uneducated wingnut does.
Go home and take care of your christian knocked up daughter
What could the idiot possibly have to talk about? Her clothes? Trust me Ms. Oprah will still be in business tomorrow, worth BILLIONS and will not have wasted an hour of her life without interviewing the village idiot from Alaska. P.S. When the idiot wants to push a book that no one wants to read, don't reach out to Oprah. Idiot
Let me tell you I am a Republican and for the demorcrats that are saying that Palin is snubbing winfrey she is not. First of all I would not blame her if she was doing it on purpose but you democrats need to realize she is not like obama who steals election she stands out and stands up for what she believes in. Unlike obama, reid, and pelosi who are saying look what is she thinking. let me tell you what she is thinking she is thinking that she is going to play this fair.
She won't agree to be on any show that makes her out to be a complete idiot, which she is anyway.
Palin should be a grandma any day now. Does that mean that she may spend a little time with her family to provide some help to her daughter who will certainly need help since she is just a child herself. NAH ! That would be asking too much of the diva.
Yeah, Palin that idiot. I can't believe she thought there are 58 states – what a dolt. And then when she said that FDR went on TV in '29 when he was president – what a moron... Oh wait....
Palin should not even worry about oprah , and as far as all the palin haters why dont you go and suck on some eggs for some reason it seems all the palin haters are sore winners GROW UP !!!!
I don't understand why Republicans are so impressed with Palin's ability to govern a state with an entire population of only 680 thousand. Metro Atlanta has a population 10 times that of the entire state of Alaska. I'm pretty sure that I could govern Alaska without too much trouble.
Someone give this woman her moose chili and let her go back to alaska where she can just fade to the final credits of the movie. PLEASE let the nut job alone, no more headlines for the dumb one!!!
Who cares? Oprah get over it, not everybody wants to be on your show.
Why in the world would she want to come onto another Hostile Show???Do u think Oprah loves Palin ??? Pffft give me a break...Think of all the people who ran for president : Bill Clinton,George Bush,Al Gore,Hillary Clinton and the list could go on and on not one person Democrat ,Republican ,and Independant was Worthy for Oprah to Endorse save for a Black Man she actually thought had more than a Snowballs Chance in a blast furnace of winning??? And u guys think she Really Gives a Care that a Woman Ran For Office PFFFTTTT !!!! Oprah i believe is just trying to cover her Butt to keep the Chicks still tuning into the show...I believe Oprah Winfrey is a Racist who loves making Many Many Millions and Prob Billions off from White People...I say Black people u wanna complain all ur lives for ever about being a Slave??Send all of the Whiners Back to Africa i doubt most of them would even live the rest of their lives out without being killed by Famine,Or Macheted to death by roving Crazed Mobs...When u feel the Need to cry about being a Slave Rember,Whites was Slaves before too who they goona Complain too,Indians Lost this Entire Contient Pretty well to white people,and was butchered into near extinction,and made slaves save the indians would not be slaves and would sit down and die first...So if u black people don't like the idea of being in America Africa is just across the Ocean Have at it...
Please cite the date and time that Obama was on the Oprah Winfrey show. She endorsed him at a campaign event but he never appeared on her show as did no other candidates.
Palin quite simply was unqualified to be VP of the United States and also talking in coherent sentences would be a definite bonus.
A funny thing happened on the way to Oprah's show!!
I don't see what all the fuss is about. Oprah kept her word and extended the invitation when the election was over (as she always said she would). She did not provide a political forum to ANY of the candidates, so her support of Obama is irrelevant (he appeared on her show BEFORE announcing his candidacy, to discuss his book). I don't see her crying or pouting about Sarah turning her down, either. I think she is merely pointing out that she made good on her promise. It appears that all that bellyaching and boycotting was a waste of energy. By the way, I sincerely doubt that Oprah is the least bit fazed by this. I'm sure there are hundreds of people she would rather sit down with, and her show's success will not be affected. The media has turned this into a tabloid story. It is genuinely sad that so many people are buying into the drama that does not exist.
A funny thing happened on the way to Oprah's show!! Palin the Republican needs a plumber!!
I was hoping for her to disappear !
I didn't hear anything interesting from her up to now
Cannot see how she can get some wisdom in 4 years
Sarah is not the typical Alaskan woman and is giving us a bad image. Fishing is a far more popular outdoor sport. Her rating has gone down considerably since the primary and many of us wish she would go away.
Who cares?!?!?! Go away Palin!
Sarah thought about that book deal she is working on (if she hasn't already signed it) and I am sure the publisher would want her to do Oprah, since Oprah sells books so she is smoothing it over ruffled feathers forr future profits. Sarah always take care of Sarah doesn't she?
Does Oprah need the ratings that bad to put this woman on her show especially since she obviously didn't vote for her? Apparently the lure is too intoxicating for her.
TV is sick a business. It's all about the hype, not the substance.
Well said J!!
I would not want her on the show. For what, she has nothing to offer of value. She needs instead to stay home and manage her dysfunctional family and learn how to effectively govern her state. Any higher position is above her head.
who cares
Careful all you women with the nasty, extreme hatred for Palin...your inferiority complex is showing. Only a small-minded woman would lay so much displaced hatred at the feet of someone who has done nothing to you. Palin is living an extraordinary life and you can't stand it. The volume of your ridiculous rant that she needs to disappear is proportionate to your fear that Palin will return and be a daily reminder to you that some women DO have it all – family, career, love, faith, beauty, INNER beauty and oh yeah, happiness. Jealous much???? Even Oprah can't buy all that, so she worships herself.
First of all to rogmed: you're wrong. Oprah stated that because she was publically supporting a candidate for the first time she wold not be interviewing ANY of the candidates, until after the election.
To Sally: to paraphrase "oprah is nothing special just in the right place at the right time" What are you talking about??
Oprah started out as a local (chicago) talk show host. As word about her got around, other stations started picking up the show, until she was Nationally Syndicated. She worked her butt off to get where she is unlike Palin, who by the way, is opular like a two headed snake. She's an enigma wrapped in a question mark. In otherwards shes todays sideshow. And a complete idiot, add ignorance and you have scary. Hopefully she'll stay in Alaska and keep stealing and practicing questionable ethics.
Who is Oprah ?. I must ignore her because there are a lot of intelligent programs to watch besides some of these manure digging talk shows.
Sarah Palin does not need Oprah. Oprah is a has been, go love on Obama idiot.
She isnt scared to shoot wolves from helicopters but she seems to be scared to talk to Oprah....Republicans are so fake...Their entire concept is based on Fraud...
when will this woman go away !?!? i thought silly season was over.
Why all the hate? – both ways. It seems there is no tolerance. If someone disagrees with you, they are the scum of the earth and lets find some way to degrade them so we feel better. You people need to get a life and stop regurgitating what the media is feeding you. Lets try to think for ourselves.
A real intelligent bimbo....what is it 5 years for a B.A. at 6 different schools or is it 6 years from 5 schools? I guess to the right wing nutjobs intelligence in leaders means nothing...after all they voted for G.W. twice!
I think Sarah Palin needs to keep herself in Alaska ! I`m sure her state need a Governor . When she Is on these talkshows , Who is running Alaska ?
Just want to point out that the only reason Oprah said anything is because of the rumors that she snubbed Palin. Oprah's not guilty of anything but stating the truth. Now, back to your bashing of each other.
Stay in Alaska.
Go shoot some moose.
Don't go see Operah or you'll be making a fool out of yourself.
PLEASE DON'T CHANGE SARAH PALIN
Please stay just as you are. Sarah with you leading the Republican charge, the Progressives will always be in-charge. So please don't change. The Independents, Progressives, and Democrats love you just the way you are – - – As A Republican Boat Anchor.
Please, people and THE MEDIA, leave Sarah Palin alone and stop trying at every turn to somehow demonize her or create a negative story with her in it. Instead of writing about how her popularity is still high and people want to meet and hear from her, the media opts to write about how Sarah palin might have SNUBBED Oraph, the Queen of America! Come on, just because its Oprah does not mean that Palin clears her schedule for her.
Let Palin do her elected job and when she opts to talk to Oprah, or Dave or Larry, then she will IF they will at that time.
Yawn.....Who the heck cares of Palin is on or not on Oprah? I prefer not to listen to either one of them. If people think this is an issue, they need to go spend some time at an unemployment center or food pantry and see what really is important right now in America. And, that goes for Sarah Palin and Oprah Winfrey, too. A good dose of humility would do both of them some good.
FIREFIGHTER: I agree that people need to not hate and work together, but that doesn't stop discussion and opinions. I repeat: if Palin and her supporters want to run her in 2012, then let's start hearing her actually answer questions about issues! No more ducking them with her so-called "folksy" ways. I have never ever heard Palin speak intelligently or coherently about ANY ISSUE. All I've heard her say is stuff like "we're wantin' mavericks" and "people love America." She seems unable to speak to REAL ISSUES!
Oprah needs to grow up and stop whining.
Good For Sarah!!! Tell her to stuff it!! I hope she doesn't give her any time on her couch. Oprah snubbed Sarah and it can (and should) work both ways.
Interesting that Oprah feels she has to run after Sarah. Palin and McCain won 47% of the popular vote, in an election where the Dems outspent the GOP two-to-one. Sarah is here to stay, get used to it, folks.
Who cares?
Palin should go back to Alaska where they (maybe?) think she's the best thing since sliced bread.
Me...well, I kind of like a leader who knows a bit about punctuation. But that's just me.....
Good For Sarah!!! Tell Oprah to stuff it!!
I hope Sarah doesn't give her any time on her couch. Oprah snubbed Sarah and it can (and should) work both ways.
Grandma Palin should be at home taking care of her kids. The world doesn't need a Hollywood personality...the world needs intelligent, well-educated hard working women as true leaders.
Oprah, Letterman, Leno and the rest of the bunch are so taken with themselves. Sarah has way more important work to do than spend time on their programs.
I respect Oprah, but she will never make or break our President. First, I voted for Obama. Second, for a minute during the RNC I thought Sarah Palin MIGHT have something to offer McCain’s campaign. And finally, I have to admit I follow the Palin “tickers” on CNN (as many do obviously). But, my interest is probably sadistic, because I keep reading for the humor. Moose Chili and Moose Dogs – Yes that resonates with the average American voter. Maybe she will run in 2012, I certainly hope it’s as entertaining as her VP run in ’08!
Dear CNN,
The governor of Alaska will not be apart of any 2012 ticket if the GOP hopes to win. 69 or more million voted against her. In other words, its not happening. Palin's 15 minutes are up, pleast quit covering this has been? She's simply isn't worth it.
Thanks.
I get to batter Palin from both sides. First, she should stay in Alaska and tend to governing her state. Her trip to FL for the Governors conference was necessary, but her trip to Georgia to campaign for Chambliss was not necessary. After more than two months away from her office, she should devote herself fulltime to her job. On the other hand, there's clearly a Nixonian quality to Palin. She seeks to punish her enemies. However, Oprah isn't an enemy. She's a celebrity who had a valid reason for not interviewing Palin during the campaign. Yet, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Palin wasn't exacting some form of post-election retribution for Oprah's pre-election decision. That's not wise.

As evidenced by the disaster she makes for herself whenever she has to go off-script, she is waiting on script approval from the RNC before she can memorize her lines and appear in public again!! I beleive the scriptwriters have been busy with the Thanksgiving & Christmas seasons and what not. Perhaps the RNC can pony up some $$$ to get them back to writing for her quickly so she can memorize her lines before the new year.
Honestly – people, this woman is a joke and 100% unqualified to even be a Parent-Teacher prez.
