Oprah says her lawyers overreacted

Associated Press
NEW YORK - Oprah Winfrey says her lawyers shouldn't have gone after the man who is trying to promote her as a candidate for president.

Not because she's running, mind you.

"I feel flattered by it," the 52-year-old talk-show host told The Associated Press on Monday. "My lawyers overreacted, I think, by sending him a cease-and-desist order because it really is a flattering thing."

It should have been handled in a phone call, said Winfrey, who said she's thinking of calling Patrick Crowe of Kansas City, Mo., herself.

2. I think you're dead wrong
Like her or not, she's the only person on the air who has had shows on what it's like to be one of the working poor, on how people manage without health insurance, and on people who have been left with nothing after FEMA's criminal response to the Katrina disaster.

I generally don't tune in because most of the shows are fashion or celebrity based. Once in a blue moon she does a show on an important issue, something that none of her competitors ever does.

If she were all about publicity, she'd be on Pox News and spouting the right wing line, not exposing the effects of 37 years of conservatism on working class people.

3. I commend her for the good she's done
She's still a publicity whore.

You can be both.
