Oprah: Palin Snubbed Me
Oprah is claiming that Sarah Palin snubbed her to do an interview with Fox News’ Great Van Susteren:
Of course, remember that Oprah snubbed Palin during the campaign. The Drudge Report floated rumors back during the election that Oprah wasn’t going to allow Sarah on her show. Oprah tried to squash the rumors saying that she wasn’t going to use her show for a political platform and that she’d be happy to have Sarah on after the election:
OPRAH’S STATEMENT: “The item in today’s Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”
Of course, Oprah wasn’t concerned about her show becoming a political platform when she had Obama on.
So what’s going on here? If Oprah is suggesting that she tried to get Sarah on during the campaign she’s lying.
If she’s saying that Sarah snubbed her by not coming on after the election…well…who can blame her? Oprah was in the tank for Obama throughout the election, so why should Palin give Oprah a booking now?
