While eating my lunch of Mountain Dew and Cheez-its, I watched the mid-day Fox News coverage of the 2008 Presidential election.  Benn & I are mega-fans of Fox News and it’s on in the background whether here or at the office.  Today, they were talking about how demeaning it was to women that Oprah selected a man for her vote and chose race over gender (the later of which she has devoted much of her life to empowering).

First of all- gimme a freakin’ break.  Not only do I not care about ANY celebrity endorsement, I don’t care that Oprah has to pick a candidate based on her skin or her gender.

Second of all- the sources they referred to were (get this) commenters on the Oprah.com blog.  Seriously. 

SO, if you want to make national news, just go talk politics on a celebrity’s site and you’re a shoe-in to being a news source.  Oh, brother.
