CNN and MSNBC Plugging Arnold's appearance on Oprah (ABC)
Isn't it odd that CNN has included in their streamer, Arnold's
appearance on Oprah. Now MSNBC just mentioned this one full hour
Arnold's appearance, which also included date and time of the show.

Why in the world are they plugging ABC? I guess orders from Herr
Rove - remember, Arnold isn't too popular with many women in California, so if Oprah recommends Arnold, that should chance some
minds. You know, any book she recommends, even if it's a horrible, soars to the top of the best sellers list.

Anyway, just struck me as odd, but not surprising. The good old
liberal press - they sure stick together.

1. Send Oprah an email: www.oprah.com
She is used to hearing from housewives and lollygagging around playing dress-up and makeovers.

If she wants to undermine democracy by giving any credence to the recall hijacking of Calif and create a platform from which the White House's designee can woo the housewives of the world, FINE.

But I think Oprah should at least get to know the entirety of those who are interested in this "subject."

Send her some mail, people.

4. I sent this 2 Oprah
on thursday:

"Maria Shriver might be Oprah's friend but her husband is a P-I-G! and for Oprah to give campaign time to this 'speak to no-issue' misogynistic vacant head space is an insult to women and Californians. But then Oprah doesn't live here! The problems here are complex and we DO NOT need, yet another non-Californian, giving this rethuglican mouthpiece FREE air time & tacit endorsement. At one time, I was a viewer & supporter. Oprah began losing me with her endorsement and apologist activity for the invasion of Iraq. She loses me completely with this stunt. I won't stick around to be insulted again in the future.

From Shriver's husband's mouth, 2 months ago - "As much as when you see a blonde with great tits and a great ass, you say to yourself, 'Hey, she must be stupid or must have nothing else to offer', which maybe is the case many times. But then again there is the one that is as smart as her breasts look, great as her face looks, beautiful as her whole body looks gorgeous, you know, so people are shocked."-Esquire Magazine July 2003 (emphasis added)

No, I will not vote for ANYONE who has so little regard for women. I guess having 3 daughters hasn't made an impact on his steroid damaged brain! Shame on Oprah to allow herself to be used! When, before October 7, 2003, are Gray & Sharon Davis scheduled to appear on Oprah? FYI - Davis IS the current ELECTED governor of California."

2. Shouldn't Oprah have to offer
the other serious candidates the same air time? Isn't there such as thing as fair play or is that dead and gone, too?

5. Equal Time is Dead...
All you have to do is be recognized as a "news" program, and all the rules are thrown out the window. Case in point, as of this week, "The Howard Stern Show" is considered a news program along the lines of "Meet The Press." "Oprah" must have already passed this litmus test.

3. This could be a GOOD thing
Oprah has a home in California. She doesn't want Arnold! Anybody that knows Oprah knows her politics couldn't stand that! His not answering questions and his relying on prepared stump speeches won't work on her show. Even with Oprah questions he will come across for what he is: a political LIGHTWEIGHT. I think having him on Oprah is a GREAT thing!

7. Oprah
I emailed Oprah and told her even though she was a friend of Maria's I was surprized she would have a man with Arnold's background on her program. Also said if she had Arnold on she should have the other leading candidates on. I told her I would not be watching her program unless she does the fair thing. The one thing about Arnold's being exposed (not talking about Oui Magazine) is he shows his stupidity. Of course, people have to actually listen to what he says but some are too star struck to listen.
