Well, at least until after the election. She said she won't have any candidates on her show until after the election, although she supports Obama and had him on her show in the past. Some women's groups are crying foul and boycotting her show, saying she is missing an opportunity to showcase a woman who is breaking barriers.

I think everyone needs to step back for a second and take a deep breath.

I, as a woman, have never understood the cult of Oprah. She may have set a new standard for talk shows, but she is not a goddess. Although, one might say she is the goddess of talk shows. Even being the entertainment mogul she is does not endow her with supernatural powers or epic genius. The only power she has is the power others, primarily women, give her.

So, ladies, get over it. It's her show, she can have who ever she wants on it. I think a boycott is a little over the top. However, if it gets women to start thinking for themselves again, I'm all for it. Maybe women will quit going to book stores glossy eyed asking for the book of the month and waiting like a kid on Christmas morning for the next issue of "O" - In other words, they might get a life.

And as far as in interview with Palin or Obama? I am an patient person - after November 4th works for me.
