Despite the bad publicity Ellen received for the adopted puppy (which the media blew way out of proportion), this season of The Ellen Degeneres Show has been her best ever. After her career took a nosedive when she came out in 1997, she was more cautious about speaking her mind and in her talk show, she always seemed to tip toe around things. This season, however, she’s been much more candid and blunt. I love it because it’s Ellen as her true self! In particular, she’s been more outspoken about politics and equal rights for the GLBT community. Today’s guest was Barack Obama, and her opening monologue was about politics. To date, she has had three Democratic candidates on the show: Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama. She said that to be fair, she had invited the Republican candidates too, but none of them responded. She then went on to poke fun, saying she would give a free bucket of Halloween candy to the first Republican that calls her. She started naming all the candy that was in the bucket, and then stopped to say “But we took out the Mike n’ Ikes’s because we know Republicans don’t like that stuff.” HAHAHA! I loved it! Her timing and delivery was perfect! I enjoy it that she can joke about politics without getting into mudslinging. The clip isn’t on YouTube yet, but if it is, I’ll post it, because the real thing is much funnier. 
Isn’t it amazing that the Republicans will pass up the opportunity to get in front of millions of people because they may have to answer some uncomfortable questions. Posted by eliot on Tue, Oct 30, 2007 @ 7:41 pm Leave a comment
