Sorry, I didn't mean to misrepresent you. I figure anyone following the conversation can look at the posts from yesterday. The thing is, Oprah doesn't think all defendants are guilty *anymore*, and she let all of us in on her misconceptions and the experience which helped her to resolve them. That's good right? Maybe I wouldn't support her for supreme court justice...but talk-show host?

And then she advertises for her movie on her show? Fie, evil woman! She isn't a public official, she's an entertainer. If I show up on David Letterman, you can bet I'll be endorsing something...a book, CD, or movie. Does that make every guest on the show a "porkywhore?"

>I would love to talk to her and be wrong, I would apologize and correct
>my thinking if shown to be wrong.

But the question is, given what you've publically said about her, do you ever expect to get the chance?
