Palin Didn't Snub Oprah, Says Spokesman

UPDATE 12/08 at 8:00PM:

Palin's spokesman now says that she didn't snub Oprah, according to CNN:

So what does Alaska's Governor have to say about the matter.

"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. 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 ," Bill McAllister told CNN. McCallister is Governor Palin's Communications Dircector and Press Secretary.

When asked if he thinks Palin would appear on Oprah at a later date , McAllister said "I'm not aware that it's been ruled out."

It's not Oprah Winfrey's fault that former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin hasn't been a guest on her talk show yet! Winfrey declared, "I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over... 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. But maybe she'll talk to me now that she has a [multi-million dollar] book deal."

When asked if Oprah will have Barack Obama on the show, she responded, "There's always an open invitation for the president-elect and first lady."

"Extra's" AJ Calloway caught up with Winfrey at last night's Alvin Ailey Dance Theater's 50th anniversary celebration where she served as honorary chair. Winfrey joked, "In my wildest, wildest, crazy, crazy dreams, I am a dancer...When I've like had too many tequila shots and I go to sleep, I dream of being a dancer."

AND - Winfrey told Calloway the one thing that she had to rescue when the Santa Barbara wildfires threatened her home was a book of letters from Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and all the young ladies who attended her Legends Ball. Winfrey exclaimed, "So when the fires were coming and the flames were a blowin', I said, 'Get my letters!'"

Lets face it, unless she is being interviewed in her kitchen or with slaughtered turkeys, that woman knows she will be eaten alive by any of the top talk shows. How in gods name could we even consider her as a candidate when she won't even go on Leno.

When will people realize that being an attractive, sassy PTA mom does not qualify you for the Oval Office.

Family values my a**, look at Bristol and why didn't she listen to her own mom.

[OneLessReason]

I can't believe that this uneducated public official even has a job!!!

[panurse]

Sarah was chicken to go on those shows......they would have skinned her alive!!! lol

[SamiSam]

That settles it...she's definitely dumb.

[mimirip]

Oprah...her "snubbing" you is no loss, honey.

[quindy]

Giving her a podium to blabber would be a sin.

[lunchlady]

Apparently doesn't want to give any of those sinful DemLibFem gotcha media types a free meal. Fine with me. Let her ghettoize herself on Far Right shows. Sends the right message to anyone farther to the center who might think Palin's not Far Right.

[LetMeUnderstandThis]

Who Gives A F{*K about her! the election is over leave her to the Alaskans who will have enough on their hands cleaning up Moose crap out of the Governors mansion.

I see... so she not only snubbed Oprah, she also snubbed Letterman, Leno, Stephanopoulos, Stewart and 250 others!!!

Da nerve she got !!!!

=D

She's still in the news? Oh well, at least she can provide some laughs: if you haven't seen "Quotable: Sarah Palin's Top 10 Bloopers", it's very funny and I think you'll enjoy it. ( http://politicalnewsconnection.com/ )

Just a few days after signing a historic agreement she hopes will see a Canadian company build a massive pipeline to flow natural gas from Alaska to Alberta and into the North American distribution system, Gov. Sarah Palin says she is working to strengthen relations with Canada, and President-elect Obama should too.

I may be very stupid, but isn't Canada a foreign country? Seriously, am I wrong that even though they are are friends, they will still be getting natural gas from the US and into Canada, which they may sell back to us at a profit? Not that American companies don't do the same thing, but .... I seriously wish someone would tell me how I am wrong here.

[SiberianRat]

Why are you still writing about her??!!

[fishgirl26]

She's afraid to talk to Oprah or anyone else that will ask her questions that she doesn't have prepared answers for.

[panurse]

you got that right

[tyger]

She's not going to talk to people she perceives to be lefties cause they will ask her valid questions and she will once again demonstrate her stupidity.

[Razz]

Who cares?

[ThatOne4Me]

I agree
