Isn't that statement alone a sad and sorry reflection on 21st Century America??????? What HAVE we become that a television 'celebrity' should have THAT much influence. I KNOW we are mirroring the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, but for all their latterday decadence, even THEY held actors in LOW regard! We are unnaturally obsessed with mediocrity in the media. Nothing against Oprah in particular, as she is merely a symptom NOT a cause, and in all honesty does more good with her riches than 99% of the other celebrities that our society has created. We have hardly chosen the intellectual elite to be those we 'worship'! My beef is with the fact that WE, the American people, have created a multitude of these 'false idols'...(and I am not even religious...lol), and allowed the media to completely control us.

Wasn't it one of the 7 Signs of the end of the world that are described in detail in The King James III version of the Bible, Revelations II, Chapter 7 verses 5-7?

5. Behold, said the burning bush, the next sign shall come when a woman of color shall speak forth in tongues and predict the coming of the books of the months, and all shall be well in Canaan.
6. And she shall give away gifts to the poor of the earth and shall affect them strongly in their decisions and opinions, and they will form graven images in her likeness on papyrus and pictures in oils and in gold that they shall worship.
7. On the seventh day, the angels and the archangels and all the host of Heaven shall watch from their electronic boxes and shall judge all the peoples of the earth by their worship of these false idols and the Lord shall not be pleased. And in his anger, the Lord spake and fire moved the Earth. "Come forth, come forth", spake the lord, but she stumbled, came fifth and lost all her beer money.
