    It would be nice if she had on political guests instead of just celebrities. Who gives a crap what Demi Moore or Ashton Kutcher thinks. They aren't political pundits or historians.

  • Way to ride the coattails of the new president, Oprah! I'll be sure to miss it as I miss all of Oprah's B.S. Let the Oprah sheep line up. There are lots of other ways to witness the inauguration.

    star- why don't you go and send her back to Africa. Now if you weren't so stupid your dumb a-s would know that humanity started in Africa. But from you comment i know that you're not that bright.So when you start to judge make sure you're not from the same place. but there was a slight divergence and you need to investigate how wet dog fit into your ancestral backro

    Oh God, she continues to make this inauguration about her. I bet the restaurants in DC will be happy though upon her arrival.
