Chicago Tribune: President Bush, call Oprah
http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-tribtv,1,3096468.htmlstory?coll=chi-news-hed

In her response to the Katrina disaster, the talk show host got everything right.

In the episodes that aired Tuesday and Wednesday, Oprah once again proved why she's the best at what she does. She went to the Superdome. She heard firsthand about what went wrong from New Orleans' chief of police and mayor.

She hugged evacuees -- as Bush did as well on his visits to the region -- but then she stayed. She listened to the stories of horror and rape and loss and heartbreak.

After grieving and listening, she began her giving. And Oprah knows a thing or two about giving.

2. I'd totally forgotten Oprah was a journalist at the start of her career
It really showed the past two days. She approached the whole thing as a serious newswoman. Hats off to her. :)
