Oprah;

It is my understanding that you are now saying you are too busy launching your new cable network to pay any attention to 'anything else'.

I apppologize and I don't mean to be rude, but.

Bull.

Oprah you raised your hand to stand beside your man and just when your man gets into the real down and dirty of the blood sport of politics you up and find something else that seems to occupy all your time.

You found the time to travel the country when it was safe for you to do so, when it benefited you.

And now that your man needs you to step up by his side, to help him battle the machine, you walk away.

Chicken.

Plain and simple you are a weenie. If you want to play in the game you cannot run to the lockerrom just when the real hitting starts.

Yes there has been fallout. Women, which consitute 95% of your audience, are in large numbers angry at you for not supporting a female candidate.

Look you stood up next to a liberal, a black and a man -- you were certain to find people who would take exception to any of those. You could have chosen a consverative, white, female if one were running and you would have been hit on all three of those issues as well.

Choose to take sides with a candidate.... and...

On race you were either going to be a quasi-racist to those who think you wouldn't support Obama if he were 100% white and a sellout to black Americans if he were.

On politics you were either going to be a bleeding heart with an agenda or a sellout to the the main supporters of your show.

On gender you were either going to be what you've become to some and you are getting slammed for that or you were going to be supporting a candidate solely for her gender and no other reason.

You had to know all these things when you stood up and raised your hand to support a half-black/half-white liberale male for PUSA.

If you were so naive as to not know that, well, too damn bad.

If you run away and hide (which is what you are doing right now) any marginal respect I have for you will be entirely gone.

Stand up and support your guy. Give him what he needs to fight for the nomination.

Anything less makes you the poster child for shrill suck-ups who are afraid to stand by their convictions.

Oprah time for you to "Man Up!" and not run into the corner of a a legal office somewhere pecking at the corn on the table of a fledging network.
