Rod Blagojevich was considering appointing Oprah Winfrey to the Illinois Senate seat to replace Barack Obama, according to a wiretap played today at the former Illinois governor’s corruption trial. Per news reports, on the tape recorded on Dec. 2 Blagojevich and his former chief of staff John Harris go over replacement possibilities. The most intriguing ones raised by Blagojevich include California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger who doesn’t even live in Illinois and Winfrey.
“Oprah, by the way, is not far-fetched,” Blagojevich told Harris, noting her major role in the election of Obama to the presidency. “She’s up there so high, no one can assail this pick.”
Harris’ response? He thought making Winfrey a senator “was crazy.” “That’s where you’re wrong,” Blagojevich retorted.

Ooo honey you know this could be a good idea! After I launch OWN and all.
Oprah doesn’t say “ooo Honey”. You must have heard that on “stereotypes of black women that aren’t remotely funny” comedy DVD.
We think Oprah would make a great senator. But truth be told, she can more done as a very private and very wealthy citizen.

I lik it!
There is no place in the world more corrupt than Chicago. Almost everyone there involved in politics…Its a sewer.
OOOoooo baby back barack obaby bama here i come!…if i can just get through the door. And make sure that seat fits a large if you know what i mean.
Oprah in office? why? does that mean that jay leno, david letterman and ellen degeneres are next? have a talkshow and become a senator?…of course i am not an oprah fan, but still, uh, maybe she could just buy a house for congress members and get let in without the vote?….no, this does not raise high hopes here…sorry.
I don’t oprah is be interested in anything rob have to say because we all know he’s about money. but backing the president i agree with her on that.
