The Muckraking of Oprah

The Muckraking of Oprah

Call me a cynic, call me an iconoclast, call me whatever you wish but I never bought into the whole Oprah Winfrey wholesome thing.

And it’s not just because of her anti-war stance, her refusal to have Sarah Palin on her show until after the 2008 election, her car giveaway when the recipients had to pay tax on the vehicles, her phony feud with Letterman, or her bias in touting books.

I just never believed she was what she appeared and claimed to be, too good to be true, if you will, so it was good to see modern muckraker Kitty Kelley finally coming on-board the Anti-Oprah Show with her latest unauthorized biography, Oprah: A Biography. . .

News Shockers!

The following, recent stories can best be classified as shocking news, for one reason or another:

On the Pre-Born Baby Front: Most Americans don’t want to kill them!

A Gallup Poll last week shows pro-life Americans leading pro-abortionists by a score of 51%-42%, representing a 7% gain for pro-lifers and an 8% loss for pro-abortionists. It’s also the first time in the history of the poll that pro-lifers constitute a majority of Americans; all of the increase came in the Republican ranks. The Gallup findings are corroborated by the Pew Research Center: http://www.gallup.com/poll/118399/More-Americans-Pro-Life-Than-Pro-Choice-First-Time.aspx.

There’s still hope for the babies and for the souls of Republicans. For Democrats, I’m not so sure.

On the Catty Front: Black Supermodel Disses First Lady!

Iman, an immigrant from Somalia who has achieved fame and fortune says Michelle Obama “is not a great beauty.” While I agree with Iman on that, it’s still surprising that she would say it, even if she did temper her critique by adding, “But she is so interesting looking and so bright.” That’s tantamount to saying Michelle looks like something the cat dragged in but it sure is a smart cat. Iman went on to offer her well-thought-out opinions on “our [American or Somalian?] ideals of beauty. For lack of a better term, it becomes what it was like during slavery. One had the field nigger and the house nigger. . . I did not like being thought of as the house nigger.” (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.7a7e96eb7af05c783b2799bca13c76fe.111&show_article=1)

I thought use of the N-word was verbotten and I did not understand what the hell she is talking about!
