Oprah -- No Fat Bash for Obamapalooza

Everyone inside -- and outside -- the Beltway has been buzzing about what kind of bash Oprah Winfrey's going to throw to celebrate the Inauguration of the century. Sorry to disappoint you, folks, but it ain't happening.

We're told in no uncertain terms by Oprah's peeps -- she's not throwing a party during Obamafest. There had been loud whispers she would be hosting a shindig at her ex-personal chef Art Smith's new joint, Art and Soul, in the District.

The whispers only got louder when people who tried to get a reservation for Jan. 18-21 were turned away because, they said, the eatery was "bought out" during those dates.

Seems O will be concentrating on her show, which will be live from DC that week -- and keeping an eye on her own waistline.

46. Oh terrific, Oprah and a week of broadcast from DC!! If you weren't sick and disgusted by this woman in the last few years, here's your chance to be forcefed the obamanation!! She is the hand in the puppet called Barack Obama. She gives off airs that she seemingly single-handedly put him in there and now controls the nation? I'm sick of Oprah, and disgusted with a nation of voters gullible to his "change" speech!! This was an election to make "history",.. not an election of a President. Mind you the pickings were indeed slim, but c'mon the man had NO experience what-so-ever to qualify him to lead a nation??? ZERO military experience, and three years in the Senate is hardly paying your dues. Then no one seemed to care about his questionable ties, secretive background and history, not to mention the money trail behind this guy. Truthfully what scares me the most about Barack Obama,.. is the way american people FLOCK to him in the masses? I remember when rallys were taking place the Obama crowds chanted OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA... while the McCain supporters cheered USA USA USA.. did anyone else not get bothered by that?? Sad.

This is the part I'll get called a "racist".. but do note- not one word of my rant even uttered anything about race!!?

47. I agree that Oprah is splendid. She's the best thing to ever happen to a TV set. A truley great American.

48. Oprah's the best. And to the person who called her a bigot/racist just because she supported a black man for president. You would never call all the white people who supported white Hillary or white McCain for president racist or bigots. Your smear against Oprah is just a bigoted attempt to silence blacks from expressing themselves politically in support of their own people. It's sad that after 43 white presidents in a row, some people can't tolerate the idea of a single black president.

49. I like Oprah. She started with nothing, earned every penny, and has given hundreds of millions of her own hard earned money to charity. And she has a right to support anyone she wants for president. She's an American citizen.

51. Oprah is totally revolting and disgusting. She gets uglier and fatter with each LIE SHE TELLS! Oprah Winfrey has made a complete fool of herself drooling over the illegal alien, Barack Obama and his ugly racist wife, Michelle.

Then, Oprah compounds her vileness by talking in that phony voice that only she must think is cutsey. Her lesbo lover, Gail King, uses that same icky voice.

It would not surprise me when we learn that Oprah Winfrey has involved herself in ILLEGAL DRUG activity and campaign contributions, among other crimes. Perhaps her fear of being caught is what is making her blow up like a balloon.

She caused lots of trouble in Texas for the beef industry and that school of hers had criminal sexual molestation taking place. Oprah Winfrey is a troublemaker and can't wait to destroy the Obama's marriage. She will do anything to bed Barack Obama.
