Senator Oprah (Almost)
One of the weirder pieces of news to come out of the Rod Blagojevich trial:
As if she weren’t powerful enough, Rod Blagojevich seriously considered asking Chicago heavyweight Oprah Winfrey to take over the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama.
“Nobody would assail this pick,” he says in tapes recorded on Nov. 21, 2008. “It’s huge!”
Not just that, but she’d give every member of the Senate a new car and a copy of Dr. Phil’s latest book !
And they were not just referred to her rear-end! Sorry, you know I HAD to go there 🙂
