Oprah, puh-leeze

I am agnostic about Oprah. At least this diva uses her superpowers for good instead of evil so I'll give her that.

However, I've only watched her show twice (the 4 Seinfeld actors about a year ago and yesterday, the 4 Brokeback Mountain actors). I guess my expectations were too high but both times I grimaced at the squandered opportunity to get some substance from the rare alignment of these stars being in one place at one time. Is even one grain of insight too much to expect? Instead, we got Oprah either stating the obvious, pursuing irrelevant tangents or whipping her obsequious audience into a sycophantic "Up With People" vibe.

Garcon, may I please have some sherbet to cleanse my palette?
