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....

31. Well, i guess if oprah can help obama buy his way to the white house then she could certainly afford a senate slot. What a smug b!tch. "i'm not interested." Yeah right. Like you have an ounce of the know how required. Dumbass. Oh! Wait! Obama doesn't either. Well I guess whats good for the goose.....

34. 1st- The man is delusional. Oprah wouldn't have time for the senate with everything she has on her plate.
2nd-He never contacted Oprah to ask her if she would want the seat, he was on the spot & just threw out the 1st name that came to mind because Diane kept asking for names.
3rd-I didn't know you McLame losers were STILL using TMZ to whine. Whats that you say? You hate Oprah because she's black, rich, & powerful. And you're jealous because her toe nail clippings are worth more than your pathic, empty lives! Ohhh so that's why you idiots keep talking trash about the people in this country that actually help others, give back to their communities, etc. Whats that? Oprah is an Obama supporter!! OMG! Quick call 911. How dare Oprah, and damn near everybody else, support Obama! And she gave money to his campaign!! It just gets worse & worse. Don't she know you can't do that? That would be like Kelsey Grammer supporting McCain! Oprah should be ashamed of herself. Helping people, supporting HER choice for president, and all the other good works she does. What is this world coming to?!!!

35. She'd probably be better than most Senators--she is knowledgable about the issues and she couldn't be bribed with what to her would be pocket change.

36. hmmm sheds new light on the allegations against the Governor in "selling the seat to the highest bidder" ey??

Everyone knows that Oprah could be quite the BIDDER I assure you that! This woman thinks she is God, ..she truly believes (much like her puppet in the White House) that she knows all, is all, and controls all. That is her problem,.. not her "money", not her "color", but her CHARACTER. She all too often puts herself on a different level when it comes to EVERYONE! She hob-knobs with the celebrities and they talk shoes, hair, and bulging waist lines. Then she whines like Kanye West, or P. Diddy or Jessie Jackson, or Al Sharpton, or Al Franken, or Jamie foxx anytime ANY ISSUE comes up that appears to slant the black race!! Sure Oprah did her part for Katrina victims, but does anyone recall her doing anything for the hurricane victims in NORTH CAROLINA??? Nooo she was busy building, funding, and brainwashing a bunch of little girls in AFRICA at her OWN school... polishing them to be Oprah wannabes!!! Only thing she does with her multi-mega-millions in the states is buy the oval office, and treat the "poor little people" on her show with "her FAVORITE things" every year.. and DO NOTE, that she always includes the price tag for every item she gives?? She's arogant, condescending, flamboiant, and a prejudice hoity toit!

One more point.. If Oprah is all about the enpowerment of WOMEN, ..then why didn't she toss her support behind Hilary Clinton in the Presidential campaign? yeaaa.. that's what I thought too.

38. Got a little time to kill, so here goes: To "instigator"
***WARNING*** This is your brain on drugs!
"sheds new light"-How so, idiot? Did you not hear when the governor say, "She was ONE of the people on the list, but he didn't think she would be interested, & they didn't know how to contact her?

"thinks she is God, believes she knows all, and controls all"-When did she say that? How do you know what she "thinks?" Does she talk to you? Where do you get your info?

"That is her problem...her CHARACTER"-So she should be evil, mean-spirited, selfish, self absorbed, etc? She SHOULDN'T be kind, loving, thoughtful, generous, etc? Lord knows we have way too many people giving back, or reaching out to help strangers!

"puts herself on a different level"-That's true. She feels that since she has means, its her duty to help those less fortunate

"hob-knobs with the celebrities"-How many BILLIONAIRES do you see "hob-knobing" in the slums? She's not allowed to have friends who have money too? Idiot!

"she whines anytime ANY ISSUE comes up that appears to slant the black race!!"-Yeah, who does she think she is. She shouldn't speak on injustice or unfairness. She should just watch it happen. How much crack did your mother smoke when she was pregnant with you?

"does anyone recall her doing anything for the hurricane victims in NORTH CAROLINA???"-How do you know she didn't do anything? Again where do you get this stuff? And who in the hell said she HAD to do anything? What did you do for the victims crack baby?!

"polishing them to be Oprah wannabes!!!"-Damn that Oprah is evil! That's down right wrong. Trying to encourage children to be successful, productive, responsible adults. The LAST thing this world needs is more GOOD people. Everyone should be worthless, mentally challenged crack babies like you!

"buy the oval office"-I know you & the rest of your kind would like to believe that, but SORRY! She didn't have to pay for what America FREELY gave to Obama! You must be refering to Bush buying the oval office.

"treat the "poor little people" on her show"-Make up your mind. You complain about her hob-knobing with the celebs. Now you complain about her helping the poor. Sounds like your a pitiful HATER! Why the hell are you trying to count what's in Oprah's pocket anyway? Worry about the lint in yours!

"why didn't she toss her support behind Hilary Clinton"-Because she didn't want to, DUH! If she wanted Hilary to be the president, she would have supported Hilary. If she'd been telling Obama for at least two years that he should run for president, & then he does, why would she back ANYONE besides him? In case you didn't know, which is obvious, you only get to vote for ONE canidate! Crack is a powerful drug ey??!

Well I've had my fun, now I must get back to work, so MY hard earned tax dollars can pay for your next unsuccessful stint in rehab!!

39. Blago said they were considering her but never called her.

40. Wow the Democrats are morons and this is further proof. I guess I should run for Senate or the Presidency since I have experience. Better yet lets get someone like George Clooney to run for Senate. Who cares if he has no experience. He is a political activist and he is famous. Democrats would say he is qualified.

Posted at 3:01PM on Jan 27th 2009 by Blago is an idiot

41. Hey TRUTH... blah frickin blah blah blah..

Since you were so candid with your total DISRESPECT.. not of my opinion -but of MY PERSON.. then I have a few suggestions for you!

If you can't take anothers "Opinion" on the TMZ website, it's you that are the rather close minded fool to believe that you indeed KNOW IT ALL??? Your insults fall into a category called "mentally disturbed" because for some pathetic reason you felt it necessary to write a BOOK called "hate the poster that doesn't agree with my own opinions"...

And why you feel the so DESPERATE need to DEFEND Oprah Winfrey is beyond me.. all I can say is "She Bought Another One.."? Perhaps you was one of those sappy people on her show when she gave away CARS?? Your welcome to worship whomever you please, I never JUDGED you, you're the one coming into this place casting more than any fair share of JUDGEMENTS on someone you know absolutely NOTHING about!! You seem to know Oprah so well, go see if she needs another assistant- perhaps you defend her, because much like her YOU TOO have a weight issue? Are you fat, smelly, and chowing down a big mac at work while you post your rage??

For someone that seemingly knows me sooo well.. you're so far off,.. perhaps your a crack whore? I work in television, I do rather well-.. I'm fit and trim, a divorced father WITH MY KIDS,.. I am rather Anti-Drug thank you (but to each your own, I won't judge you for that), and I don't drink alcohol! I need not defend myself nor my intelligience to the likes of a whiner like yourself, because "ignorance" was written in your entire mini-series right here!

Perhaps you got all bent outta shape with your tampon in a knot, because I touched on some rather valid points? I dunno, I DON'T CARE! It's my opinion- DEAL WITH IT ALREADY. I offer, nor make any apologies! So go to the crapper, purge again because that big mac you just ate had 500 calories in it..!! Smoke another joint, and plan your next street corner lay for some cash to keep up with your drug habit, Deal with your aids virus, herpes, and other STDS, and LEARN TO DEAL WITH OTHER OPINIONS. Your BEST approach would have been to expess your disagreement with the opinion, but to make things personal.. you drew the first blood- you're such a dumbazz....!

42. HEY TRUTH, SOUNDS LIKE YOUR THE EXTREMELY BORED HATER! DISECTING A COMMENT, AND TOSSING OUT THE INSULTS AS MUCH AS YOU SHARE THE WORD "CRACK"? SINCE YOU WAS ON SUCH A ROLL TO DEFAME A "COMMENT" WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PART ABOUT "KATRINA" AND HURRICANE HUGO? YA SEEM TO HAVE OVERLOOKED THAT RATHER TRUE POINT! ALL YOU DID WAS REVERSE A COMMENT TO THE OPPOSITE, COULDN'T YOU EVEN BE MORE ORIGINAL? SAD DUDE, REALLY SAD.

45. Truth be told. Oprah is a talk show host, subprime hour. And, not thanks to her brain power, but to her Advisors. MS Winfrey is not clever, intelligent or astute enough to assume any political role. She may have done well, on the talk show circuit, with the assisstance of her advisors, but to translate that into political competence, is ludicrous. I would rather then, put my trust in Pee Wee Herman. who in actuality probably, has a higher I.Q. Oprah has done well with mediocre fodder: diets, book of the month club, celebrity gossip, but higher intellect, political strategy............ making political decisions that affect the American people's lives......................spare me. I am not a diet, or a 3rd rate book............& cannot give credence to Minnie Mouse Oprah...more like Little Lotta. I trust brain power, not black power.
