Oprah has destroyed the book tour
with her retirement announcement - the tears and drama have left the pathological LIAR running away from her not so adoring fans who are now booing her - this is freaking priceless.

Go Oprah - show the lunatic who is big league.

13. It's amazing that you can't make this stuff up!!
These followers of Sarah built her up as this shining light of a Repug but in the end they found out she is just like them, even worse than they are.

6. And endorsed Obama. I wonder how many people
voted for Obama because Oprah told them to! Kinda scary really, but whatever. I actually like Oprah. I may be in the minority here on that, but I admire what she was able to do.

34. Though not a particular fan of hers ....
she worked hard, she's bright, she educates herself on issues and subjects and actually tries to make a difference in the life of others.

Palin's claim to fame is that she has taken idiocy to new and never before imagined levels.

9. What?
I don't get it.

I know Oprah announced her retirement in 2011, but what does that have to do with Palin?

14. Oprah sucks all the oxygen out of Palin's universe.
Oprah is a much bigger, more popular celebrity than Palin. Oprah's announcement that she's canceling her show is getting more press than Palin's lame book tour (except for getting booed).

Hee hee.

16. Her timing was exquisite!
Anderson Cooper just had a long leading segment about it, they're reacting as if Oprah just died.

27. Precisely
Oprah could have announced this anytime and she chose the middle of the Grifter's ghost written book tour. :evilgrin:

17. I missed the booing
a DU search turned up references to Palin being booed at sports events, but obviously, I'm missing something.

19. Here ya go
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/20/palin-booed-by-book-tour_n_365883.html

Unhappy fans of Sarah Palin went rogue on the Alaska Republican during her book tour stop in Noblesville, Indiana on Thursday.

The local Borders outlet had handed out 1,000 wristbands to book purchasers; the wristbands were supposed to procure fans Palin's signature on their hardback copies of "Going Rogue." But several dozen people who had been promised signatures were turned away empty-handed after waiting hours in poor weather, a local news outlet, the Indy Channel, reported.

"We gave up our entire workday, stayed in the cold, my kids were crying," one man was quoted saying. "They went home with my wife. She was out here in the freezing cold all day. I feel like I don't want to support Sarah."

Another woman told Indy Channel, "We bought two books from Borders to have our receipt and our wristband to get it signed tonight. My books are going back to Borders tomorrow."

22. They are both gargantuan narcissists
I am surprised they didn't cancel each other out on the show the other day.
