"Illinois' beleaguered Gov. Rod Blagojevich said today that when he was deciding who would take President Obama's Senate seat he considered appointing talk show queen Oprah Winfrey."

[The Duck]

No way..

Nut job's everywhere

[AsianDivaGirlsWebDude]

Nothing about Blagojevich surprises me anymore...



Some captured on tape F-Bombs from the lips of Governor B:

1. "If they don?t perform, fuck ?em.?
'They' being a highway contractor Blagojevich was hitting up for $500k.

2-3. "...hold up that fucking Cubs shit. . . fuck them."
-Patricia Blagojevich-
This is a little convoluted, but she's saying if the Tribune Co. doesn't fire certain members of the Chicago Tribune editorial board, then "fuck them," they won't be getting any financial help with Wrigley Field.

4. "...someone?s gotta go to [Tribune Owner], we want to see him . . it?s a political fuckin? operation in there.?
(On meeting with the Tribune Co.)

5. ?...maybe we can?t do this now. Fire those fuckers.?
Threatening to withhold a deal that would have benefitted the Tribune Co. if they didn't fire members of the editorial board.

6-7. ?Our recommendation is fire all those fucking people, get ?em the fuck out of there and get us some editorial support.?
More on the Tribune editorial staff.

8-9. ?I?ve got this thing and it?s fucking golden, and, uh, uh, I?m just not giving it up for fuckin? nothing. I?m not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it. I can parachute me there.?
In regards to President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat.

10. ?[The Senate seat] is a fucking valuable thing, you just don?t give it away for nothing.?

11-15. You're telling me that I have to "suck it up? for two years and do nothing and give this ?motherfucker [the President-elect] his senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him.? Blagojevich states that he will put ?[Senate Candidate 4]? in the Senate ?before I just give fucking [Senate Candidate 1] a fucking Senate seat and I don?t get anything.?
Calling Barack Obama a motherfucker. Wow. That, ladies and gentlemen, is political suicide. Enjoy the rest of the show.

16-17. I'll appoint ?[Senate Candidate 1] ... but if they feel like they can do this and not fucking give me anything... then I?ll fucking go [Senate Candidate 5].?

Fuck him...

lol yeah!

Well, money won't be a factor such as lobbyists or bribes or what ever.... most companies don't make half of what she does.

[Martin]

It really is a ridiculous time in the us right now.

[Sarah_Jayne]

It would be a bad move. As soon as she is making the laws people will stop being so cult like about her and that will hurt her company's bottom line.

[CIVMatt]

This country is going down faster then a whore on Crackwhoreconfessions

[LiveDose]

With the fuckers that are in Washington now what's the big deal. I don't think anyone could do worse than what those leeches have done to our country.

I quite disagree there..

I think she would be as bad as any other.

I am probably one of the only people on the planet that hates that woman..... NOT because she is black. I hate her because every stupid thing she does to "help" people, she has to have her fucking cameras right there to "look what I did, I am the greatest thing since sliced bread", and that makes me sick at my stomach. When you "help" someone, it should be out of the goodness of your heart, not to boost YOURSELF...... makes me sick.

Sorry for the rant..... it just makes me crazy. But you know, she probably had the money to buy that seat, since it seemed to be up for sale. But wow what a mistake that would be.

1> When you have to state the color of skin as not the reason for hating someone, it makes people wonder why you brought that up. Me thinks thou dost protest too much?

2> The only way Oprah can get the corporate funding to 'help' these people is to make a media circus out of it so the companies providing the free shit get exposure. Do you think that products get good reviews in magazines and on TV spots because they're good products or because the person giving the review is getting free shit?

[tranza]

this is so lamentable!

I don't mind so much when she has people like Ford or someone jump in and donate their products, I am all about that publication. what I am talking about is when she donates HER own personal money and has to have a media circus about it.... that drives me crazy.

And I put that it wasn't because she is black because so many accuse me of being a racist when I say I hate Oprah, they can't seem to get their head around the fact I JUSt don't like her.... I could care less what color she is, I don't like the way she "helps" people out of her pocket.

I should have made that more clear, my apologies for that... the "sponsored" donations, I have no issue with, it's the ones where she give of her own "millions" and has to make it a circus that drives me crazy......... let's be clear on that one. lol

[Iron Fist]

You telling me that you trust anything that comes out of Blagojevichs mouth? This is just a PR stunt... hes out for good and might as well go out with a bang.

[John-ACWM]

She was big before Obama but now she will be everywhere. She will get even more boring

[geedub]

I don't think you're racist. I'm glad you got the point of my post though.

The *problem* is that when she does it, she is also a large corporation looking for the same media circus. But I agree with you, its irritating as all hell. I can't stand her dumbass road trips and all that crap either.

The problem is politics is about public face these days, not ability. If she were qualified for the position, as much as a person disliked her, they would have nothing to complain about. As it stands, she is not, and should not get a senate seat purely because she was backing Obama.

[dav3]

I wonder how much Oprah was going to pay for the Senate seat?

[mynameisjim]

She would never take it. She's not stupid. She realizes she has more power doing a pointless TV show because she has no real responsibility. She can parade out guest after guest who later turn out out be frauds or run a school in Africa that is so poorly managed there are allegations of widespread abuse right after it launches and nobody really cares.

You don't have that freedom being a Senator.

[collegeboobies]

Thats because he was selling the seat... might as well go to the richest person on the block

[Kenny B!]

Oprah doesn't have time for politics but if she was to take office she's be better then 99% of people who are in office now

[spacedog]

what a fucking joke.. Oprah for senate

After that.....who knows.

She would probably win an election anyhow so............

Still seems like a joke, and I actually like Ophra (except her show stinks now).

Yeah, I don't knock people who donate money no matter how much I don't like them.

Respect and props to donors!
