Oprah Celebrates Obama Win

Almost a year after calling Barack Obama "The One," Oprah Winfrey is celebrating his victory. During her post-election special--which will air at 4 p.m. on WABC 7 (and repeat at 1 a.m.)--there were guests like David Gergen, Rep. John Lewis, Peggy Noonan and Gloria Steinem and some special ones. And Oprah, who is excited she can finally "unleash" and discuss politics, also held up the Chicago Sun Times and waved a flag! Winfrey spoke to Power 105.1's Ed Lover yesterday and said (audio) that she'd welcome Sarah Palin as a guest.

I have always found Oprah's smug brand based on pop psychology and corny feminist catch phrases fairly nauseating. Doubly so when you take her shoddy goods empire and touting of that creep Dr. Phil into account. Yet, she has an army of followers who went out and voted. I'm torn.
