Anyone who knows me knows I am wild about Oprah Winfrey. I love the way she manages to talk about seemingly liberal hot-button issues (like gay rights, global warming, and women's reproductive freedom) in a way that is palatable, and even moving, to those who don't consider themselves liberal. All lefties should take note: you don't have to talk like Al Gore to get your message across. In fact, it might be better if you don't.I've written Oprah a lot of letters over the years relaying these thoughts to her. I've sat for hours on her always-busy ticket hotline. I've even sent her a video of myself talking about why I should be in her audience. But she's never written back.
And so I've decided to try something a little different. This week, I'm going to write to all of Oprah's friends, explaining sincerely why I love each of them (because, as strange as it sounds, I've grown almost as crazy about them over the years as I have about Oprah), and asking if they might be able to get me tickets to the show.
The first letter will be to Dr. Robin Smith (a.k.a. the Anti-Phil).
