Oprah -- I Got Dragged into Blago's Sphere

Oprah WinfreyIf Oprah Winfrey was under consideration for Barack Obama's Senate seat by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, it was news to her....

Oprah told BFF Gayle King on her Sirius radio show she never was contacted by Guv Rod Blagojevich. It's a good thing, says Oprah, she wasn't watching "GMA," because "I would have fallen off the treadmill."

Now that's good news....

21. This is a joke. Until this idiot managed to get caught, he was on everyone's christmas card list. Obama owed the guy for much of his success and Blago was a main player in the Daley machine of corruption. Oprah would have been honored to have been considered but obviously wouldn't have taken the job since she would have taken about a $100m per year paycut.

22. All the people screaming in defense of no-prah are probably black

Black people want anyone who is black whether they're qualified or not

No-prah is over, she squandered her status on this election, now she's just a joke and knows it

28. Oprah Isn't interested........Of course she isn't. The position was suffocating in scandal & corruption. The position has been filled, laboriously. And Oprah is not , by any stretch, qualified. No other sane person would have considered her . B. is just using her, for his own agenda. Oprah is pre-emptive. " I am not interested ". As if this were a viable serious situation. Oprha, spare me. No-one compos mentos would consider you as a Senator. Your laughing at the ridiculousness of this announcement, would have been appropriate..but to give credence to it , by saying : I am not interested...well , you demean yoursef. You are a talk show host.........subprime time. That is all. So you have lots of money, so does Penthouse Magazine.
