Oprah and Palin, round two.

Sarah Palin talks to Oprah about her new TV gig. Plus, Bristol Palin on life as a single teenage mom, premarital sex and what she wants to say to young girls everywhere.

So has Oprah decided to REALLY interview Sarah Palin this time? Or is she going to let Sarah hide behind her children again, and shift the focus to Bristol?

And if she DOES focus on Bristol will she at least ask some probing questions? Like "Why do you need an LLC, and what is it for?" Perhaps she can ask for more details about this job Bristol supposedly has at a doctor's office. And if she is working at all of these jobs, and also attending college, then WHO pray tell is really watching her child? And who is paying for his child care? Bristol? Sarah?

And if there are times that she is working and cannot care for Tripp then why does she not save her money and just allow Levi to take him? Doesn't her child deserve time with his father?

If you click the title you can visit Oprah.com and pose these questions, or choose some of your own. I have no idea if it will help or not but I think it is important for Oprah to know that she is in a position to FINALLY get these women to answer some substantive questions.

Sarah is using her access to these media outlets to paint a VERY deceptive picture of how her family functions and who is taking care of these children. This is not the reality of what is going on behind the scenes, I can assure you of that.

Levi and his family filmed a segment for ET last Saturday, but I am still unable to find out when it will air. If anybody hears anything please let me know.

  2. PLASE leave Piper at home! Last time, they discussed Bristol's pregnancy in front of the little one. Disgusting.
    I have mixed feelings re Oprah:
    Palin boosted O's ratings, so maybe Oprah is going to kiss ass agin.
    OR: Oprah was confined by contract to talk ONLY about "Going Rogue" the first time - IF the strings are looser, maybe Oprah will graciously expose the grifter/loon without Palin knowing what is hitting her.

    Q's for Oprah:
    Does the entire family participate in Trig's therapy? It must be very time consuming. How much can Bristol contribute to the very intensive therapy Trig requires while caring for her own infant, attending school, working 2 jobs and socializing? Do you feel that Trig is getting enough therapy? Do you feel Trig is responding well to therapy? When Sarah and Todd are traveling without Trig who is in charge of Trig's therapy?

    As if the poor little guy actually GETS therapy, much less getting to wear his glasses and hearing aids.

  4. WHY does Oprah cater to this racist ex-governor?

    The ONLY governor who refused to recognize Junteeth Day as ordered by Alaskan law.

    Ratings ho ho ho.........

    Will she ask about the Judges in Alaska that her supporters were invited to "harass" on Palin's Facebook page?

    Will she ask why Palin's thinks it's OK when her "fan base"...... issued DEATH THREATS against these judges Pal;in continued to leave their names, phone numbers and addresses on her FB page?

    NAH......

    I skimmed the US article in the grocery line. It said she leaves the baby in daycare or with her Aunt Heath (or grandmother, I forget) in Anchorage. She supposedly doesn't have to be at work until 8:00 but says she has to get up so early to get herself and Tripp ready.

    As for college, she is taking "a couple" business classes at night locally.

  7. I don't know what has happened to Oprah ... unless it is just a save the spiraling downwards of the ratings; have lost respect; this just confirms it. Unless Oprah does some hardball investigative questioning, I am going to just think Oprah is out to make the money or her new bff is Sarah Palin, or both.

    As to talking about Bristol's pregnancy in front of Piper, I know how the commenter above feels, but, hey, Piper actually lived through it so it's not like it's a secret. Maybe it served as a warning - though maybe not considering how her mother drags her around everywhere. I mean, you do have to have a basic educational foundation to understand things, right?

Why doesn't she ask palin about the lies in her book. I am so disgusted, I don't know what to say. Palin probably won't let bristol talk anyway.

    Oprah's show is not really a NEWS show so don't expect any substantial questions.

    It was only the author James Frey whom she eviscerated on air for "lying"....and only then I suspect because it damaged her EGO because she had previously promoted him.

    For the life of me I can't figure out why she would give Palin a forum of ANY kind. Oprah is probaby Obama's biggest fan (Hollywood, anyway), and she is surely aware that Palin fosters an environment that is a physical threat to our President.

    I can only hope she is trying to help Sarah expose herself!

    This leads me to believe that Opran is just trying to grab the ratings. Eff Oprah. I don't watch her anyway, but I have lost more respect for her with her two Palin "interviews" than with anything else she has done or could do.

    Sarah is desperately trying to paint a very deceptive picture of her family, but no one is buying her shit anymore. The damage is done and she is boring.

    I wrote to the Oprah Show suggesting that Bristol is seeking to gain unfair advantage in her custody hearing through her appearance on the show. Oprah has no business appearing to choose a side in a custody fight.

    If there was no case pending before a court, the appearance of Bristol may be a different matter. However, this is a case where the judge has received death threats when Sarah's fans don't like a ruling.

    By Oprah allowing these people to have an unfair advantage, she is choosing sides in a custody fight that is not of her business. It is bad enough that the Palins sought to showcase their family in the In Touch feature. Oprah has no business aiding them in their custody battle.

  32. Ahh the trolls are out.

    To those who are legitimately curious about my progress, yes I am still conducting interviews and gathering information.

    I have also sent some pieces of info to other media outlets. They pop up here and there in articles, and will be part of future books as well.

    Like I said before there are big damaging stories coming out, Game Change is only the most recent.

    Because of the amount of scrutiny I am receiving from the Palin-bots I cannot get into detail.

    I would also like to take a moment to say that if YOU have legitimate information to share, just send me an e-mail. I have received a number of very interesting bits if information that way in the last few weeks but I could always use a few more.

    And remember, you don't have to visit this site. If you are legitimately frustrated and want to stop coming. Then do so. Using that threat to get me to "spill the beans" before it will be most effective, will NOT work.

    Even the most damaging scandal will only be effective if it is heard by the right people and can be backed up by enough data. That takes time.

    Don't know if it will get read, but sent this email to Oprah's show.....

    In regard to Ms. Palin & family appearing for a 2nd segment on Oprah, I am wondering if she will ask:

    If Sarah quit her job to better help Alaska..what has she done for them since quitting...& not in a monetary way?

    Ms. Palin to qualify her issue with Levi's 'porn' opposed to her no issue with Senator Brown's...as well as Brown's pro-choice opposed to her own pro-life?

    Does Ms. Palin have an intelligent solution to universal Health Care & if so to please spell it out. Same question regarding the Economy.

    Is Mark Chryson & Lynette Clark of the AIP still advising her? I ask this because her philosophy continues to follow Chryson's basic program & he was central to her Mayor and Governor positions.

    Can Bristol not see the advantage in allowing Levi joint custody of their son? If Levi's mother is her issue, then is Diana Palin allowed within reach of her nephew? Why does Tripp's name end in Palin?

    For both these women, I'd like to know why they have pursued every avenue that they have derided Levi for doing?....and they have done far more damage to their own images than Levi could hope to do.

    With Sarah & Bristol gone from home so much, who stays with the children?

    Ms. Palin presents herself and family as people to look up to while she shows total disrespect for our President and disregard for any progress to move America forward.

    I for one am sick of the Media asking only shallow questions of this woman who divides people by spewing hatred and fear-mongering, instead of inspiration.
    All her interviews on Fox resulted in her downgrading our Government & insinuating that 'the bunch in Washington' are to be feared for what they do behind closed doors.
    Ask her to qualify those threats with substantial answers.

    If this is to be another 'fluff' interview then you are wasting our time. Hopefully Oprah will have the courage to treat the Palins with respectful & honest questions this time.

    I am getting bored with Sarah as well, though I am enjoying watching her "driving a bus that is headed towards a train wreck."

    Most of us knew that she was dumber than dirt, but I think we were all mesmerized by her special brand of stoopid. Now that her mentally unstable, dumb ass has been exposed by Game Change, Steve Schmidt, and her own performances on TV, the mystique is gone. The doubt has been removed for anyone who had any hopes that she wasn't, in fact, a moron.

    Basically, the only people who are still interested in her are her crazy fans and the people who can make money of them via Palin, i.e., teabagger conventions; Fox - need I say more? ; and fundraising for organizations/candidates who depend on the crazy population for support.

    Oh, and the likes of us who read these blogs just to vent and witness the downfall.

    I think it is a 45 minute drive to Anchorage, that is an hour and a half each day. She claims to do that 5 days a week. That is alot of winter driving, she did need the bribe car. When does Bristol sleep?

    It looks like she will miss work for Oprah and to give abstinence advice to 8-10 year olds, who else would listen to her? I bet there will be a spike in pre-teen pregnancy now. The statistics are grim and no way will Bristol help.

    Sarah is a creep, but don't expect Oprah to shed any light on that. She's quitting her show, she wants to retire quietly, she wants to age well without stress. Oprah is Oprah and that is all she is. She is no longer sharp, fresh or edgy.
