It’s never been clearer how Oprah Winfrey got to be America’s First Hostess of Television than it was when she chatted with Sarah Palin yesterday.
For Palin, this was the start of a week-long mission behind enemy lines. She’s talking with people, like Oprah, who mostly didn’t want her to become vice president. She’s in a forum, the “liberal media,” that she needs her supporters to keep mistrusting.
Oprah, in turn, played the good hostess. She tried to make her guest comfortable. She kept the conversation focused mostly on “Going Rogue,” the new book Palin is promoting. She steered away from areas of potential personal disagreement.
All that meant she also steered away from news, and she didn’t end up with any.

If you will be kind enough to allow me, I would like to propose a toast:
Here's to Sarah Palin; may she never - EVER - go away.
I am going to go out on a limb here: No woman since Eleanor Roosevelt has done more to further the cause of progressive politics in the United States of America than our Sarah.
Don'cha just love her? I sure do!
