The Deafening Silence of Oprah

This was on TMZ.

Rosie O'Donnell is picking a fight with Oprah over the talk queen's controversial interview with kidnapped teen Shawn Hornbeck. Lots of people are outraged, and many are screaming exploitation. But will O v. Ro turn into another Trump-scale nuclear conflict?

Sources tell TMZ that Oprah's M.O. is always the silent treatment, and that she's not going to get into a Trump-Rosie-style war with O'Donnell. For instance, sources say that Oprah can't stand Dr. Phil McGraw, who she thinks is utterly ungrateful to her. But rather than smack him down publicly, she's dissed privately by not showing up to significant events in his life.

I am a white girl with an enormous trustfund that dwarfs the GNP of most third world countries. But even I am in awe of the power of Oprah.

Babs, if you want to keep the View and your legacy do yourself a favor and take Rosie out fishing on Lake Tahoe and when you come back alone just say there was a boating accident. Trust me. No one will quesiton you.
