I'm listening to Scarbororough and Tucker lament that
"we live in the age of Oprah" as an explanation for Foley's behavior.

Um...who makes it that way, Joe...Tucker....anybody?

7. They're blaming Oprah for some sort of maudlin
"televised don't blame me syndrome" to excuse Foley's behavior, I guess.


Tucker's got nothing better to do than "interview" another MSNBC talk show host, I guess. Wierd having talk show hosts interviewing talk show hosts and calling it "comment".

6. Oprah should appear with them to protest such stupidity but...
...she outclasses those two fuckers so much that they would be reduced to puddles in her presence.

8. The Age of Oprah is a good age for children
A victim of sexual predation as a child herself, Oprah has had a tremendously positive impact on the subject. Due to her talk show, more people admit it, talk about it and get help for it. More children are told what to do if it happens, when it happens, after it happens. She has explored this issue from every imaginable angle. She could have stopped there but she went to Washington to campaign for victims and legislation.

Oprah Winfrey is not a cause for sexual predation. Perhaps she is the cause of why it's not being tolerated anymore or is that what they have a problem with?

:grr:
everyone is totally pissing me off today.

9. I'm sure
That Oprah, who was molested by her father, would appreciate and agree with that she's somehow enabling dirty old men to hit on children.
