It just popped up on my screen here, Palin is to appear on Oprah Winfrey's show November 16 2009. From Oprah.com -
CHICAGO — In a world exclusive, Oprah Winfrey will interview former Alaska governor Sarah Palin for an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show to air Monday, November 16, 2009. Winfrey and Palin will meet for the very first time on the episode, which will mark Palin’s first interview to discuss her upcoming book, Going Rogue: An American Life and her first-ever appearance on the Oprah show.
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin burst onto the national political scene as running mate for Senator John McCain in the 2008 presidential election. Now, following her decision to step down as governor of her home state of Alaska, and on the eve of the release of her first book, Palin will speak first to Oprah in a world exclusive interview.
Isn't this the same Oprah that gave Palin the cold shoulder a few months before the election? Do you think that Palin will be treated as fairly as the Obamas? I see here at her site that He appeared at least 6 times. Interesting that He is referred to as a community activist before he was president at Oprah's site too. Not a community organizer. Not a mistake I'm sure.
UPDATE: The Washington Post checks in with this story, a special take and scoop on why O is going to have Palin on her show. From WaPo -
Industry navel gazers speculated Oprah had turned off some of her conservative viewers -- or, more accurately, they had turned her off -- when she not only endorsed then presidential candidate Barack Obama but even campaigned for him. (Palin, of course, was the running mate of Obama's rival, Sen. John McCain.)
It was the first time Oprah had stripped off her apolitical veneer and publicly endorsed a political candidate. At the time, Oprah told CNN's Larry King she did it because "what [Obama] stands for" was "worth me going out on a limb for."
And her ratings took a tumble, though hers was not the only syndicated show to lose audience last season and she still managed to wind up at the top of the syndication heap at season's end.
So it seems that Palin's showing has nothing to do with anything but $$$, an interesting tidbit that the Big O's ratings may have taken a beating due to her brow-beat support of the other Big O. I have spoken personally to friends that can vouch for this sentiment. Interesting......
