Oprah Winfrey says she will not invite Sarah Palin on her show until after the election.

The Drudge Report originally wrote a story saying that Oprah refused to have Palin on the show, because the Almighty O supports Barack Obama. According to their sources, Oprah's staff wants to play host to Palin despite Winfrey's political opinion.

In response, Oprah issued a statement to TMZ.com saying the whole thing is untrue.

"The item in today's Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over."

Barack Obama has already appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in January 2005 and October 2006. Oprah is even credited with encouraging Obama to run at all.
