Oprah Obama Senate Seat:Blagojevich Revelations – Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich appeared on Good Morning America today where he made some shocking statements.Blagojevich stated:
Emmy Award-winning talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey “was obviously someone with a much broader bully pulpit than other senators.”
“She seemed to be someone who would help Barack Obama in a significant way become president.”
When asked to comment on the story Oprah revealed:
“My plan was to get up and watch ‘Good Morning America’ and work out and then I just thought, ‘Let me just lay here another half hour.’ If I had been watching, as I normally watch — from the treadmill, I would have fallen off the treadmill,” “I’m pretty amused by the whole thing.”
Gayle King was on XM Radio today,so she asked Oprah if she would consider the seat.Oprah replied:
“Absolutely not. I would have said, ‘Where would I fit it in with my day job? My mid-day job, my night job, my radio job, my magazine job?’”
