Oprah And Sarah Palin Dish On Their ‘Interesting’ Interview


video

alg_sarah_palin_oprahThe eagle has landed! Translation: the Sarah Palin, Oprah Winfrey interview is a wrap. The much-anticipated sit-down between the talk show queen and the former VP-contender was taped yesterday in Chicago. Later in the evening Palin posted this update to her Facebook page:

Willow, Piper, and I are in Chicago and just wanted to let you know that I had a great conversation with Oprah today. We taped the show for Monday, November 16th, and enjoyed it so much that we went way over on time. The rest will air on Oprah.com. Oprah was very hospitable and gracious, and her audience was full of warm, energized and (no doubt) curious viewers.

Sounds promising. Meanwhile, Oprah posted her own update on the “interesting” interview via video (below), noting that “lots of people didn’t want me to have her on, lots of people did. Lots of her supporters didn’t think she should come here, but she did.” According to Oprah, the subjects covered include the campaign, Bristol, Trig, the Palin marriage, and Levi Johnston. Says Oprah: “We talked about everything, there’s nothing we didn’t talk about.” (Maybe she used our earlier post as a primer.)

It will be interesting to see what tone this interview takes. Oprah can be tough when she wants to, but I wonder if she won’t also demonstrate a great deal of empathy to Palin as a powerful woman seemingly under siege from a number of sides. It will also be interesting to see whether Palin makes any fresh headlines over the next few days now that the interview has been completed.

    So why is Oprah’s interview with Sarah Palin “much anticipated”?

    It’s not like Winfrey is the most insightful or probing interviewer on the planet, nor is it likely that we’ll be breaking a lot of new ground. And, sorry to say, I don’t really care what “tone” the interview takes.

    I guess that, Oprah’s ratings aside, I don’t understand the hoopla about this particular interview.

    Not that Oprah isn’t a media heavyweight…

    I am amazed that people still watch Doprah! She is such an arrogant, race baiting bore. I am not a Palin fan, but even if I were, I wouldn’t lower myself to watch Doprah.

    BTW, does her “Desperate Housewife” audience even know who Palin is, or even their own names for that matter?

    libra blue, you really have an axe to grind against women, eh? Tell me, is there a “proper” kind of woman? And just what is that?

    Shuster: ‘Fox Is Far More Conservative Overall Than MSNBC Could Ever Be Liberal’

    video

    We've seen today what many in the media world (and even Press Secretary Robert Gibbs) thought of the highly-rated Bret Baier exclusive interview with Pres. Obama. There's one more from earlier in the day - MSNBC's David Shuster. He also had some general thoughts on his network and Baier's.

    Scott Brown On House Health Care Bill: “The Biggest Problem…Is Its Lack Of Transparency”

    video

    Last night when Chris Matthews discussed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's idea of a "Deem and Pass" to get the health reform bill pushed through Congress, his main concern was that it would open up Democrats to criticism of using evasive tactics. And he wasn't wrong: Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown was on The Situation Room tonight, already chomping at the bit to discuss the "backroom deals....political chicanery and parliamentary maneuvers" that the House majority was using to "ram this bill through."
