Oprah rocks. She will never run for office--she already has more power and influence than any politician.
Hey Goner!
I think you're going to see her empire grow more and more. She has tons of money and is very ambitious.
I'd rather HER be on the cover than all the fucking models that are on the covers of similar magazines... I'd rather young women look up to Oprah than to Kate Moss or whatever anorexic whore is hot at the moment.
Funny how so many people here lavish plaudits on Oprah, and then turn around and bash the evangelical "superstars" who tell their christian followers what to believe and who to vote for.
It's the same fucking thing.
(PS The way Oprah acted in Paris the other year when a store closed on her at her inconvenience tells me how "enlightenedly spoiled" is).

No, Oprah is not a homophobe. She is not an awful person, btw, but far from "enlightened" as she claims to be.:biggrin1:No. I don't consider Oprah to be the same as bombastic, hate spewing, anti-gay, homophobic,"do as I say not as I do" "superstar" preachers rob.
