    Video: Hot Rod Blagojevich Considered Oprah For Obama’s Senate Seat

    Impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is interviewed by Diane Sawyer on ABC’s Good Morning America. Speed ahead to around 5:15 for the Oprah mention

    Hot Rod goes on the offensive as his impeachment trial starts today. In the above video, Blago mentions that he considered nominating Oprah Winfrey to replace Barack Obama in the United States Senate. Earlier he whines to Diane Sawyer about not being able to call Valerie Jarrett, Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel or Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. as witnesses in his impeachment trial.

    But, they will be called in his very public Chicagoland trial.

    Exit question:
    When will Washington make a deal to silence the uncontrollable and unhinged Hot Rod?

    Flap wonders the role of Oprah in the Obama inauguration?

    GAG

    And, still no comment about the latest “DEBUNKED” book on Oprah’s list. But, she did place a disclaimer.

    The update appears at the bottom of the first of three pages about Rosenblat, his wife Roma and their two appearances on Winfrey’s television show. Winfrey spokeswoman Angela DePaul, when asked Tuesday why Rosenblat’s story — listed on the site as the first example of “Love Lessons From Amazing Couples” — wasn’t removed, referred to the update posted by “the oprah.com editorial team” and declined further comment.

    Rosenblat, 79, a resident of North Miami Beach, Fla., was a Holocaust survivor who for years had endeared himself to Winfrey and others by recalling how he and his wife met on opposite sides of a barbed-wire fence at a sub-camp of Buchenwald in the 1940s and were reunited more than a decade later on a blind date in New York. Berkley Books, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), had planned to release his memoir in February.

    But after scholars, friends and family members challenged him, Rosenblat acknowledged the story was untrue and Berkley pulled the book. A planned feature film is still scheduled to begin production this year, with producer Harris Salomon saying that the script may note the “fabricated elements of their wartime love story.”

    And, what about Obama, Tony Rezko and Hot Rod Blagojevich?

    No disclaimer there.

    Sarah Palin Watch: Oprah Afraid – Says No to Palin

    Sarah-Palin-wont-be-on-Opra

    Alaska Governor and GOP Vice President nominee Sarah Palin will NOT be invited onto Oprah Winfrey’s show prior to the election, according to a statement posted on Drudge.

    OPRAH’S STATEMENT: “The item in today’s Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”

    It is Oprah’s show and she can do as she likes. But, the bias is striking and noteworthy with her blatant support of Barack Obama.

    Perhaps many ordinary women, including Republican viewers will FINALLY realize that Oprah is a left wing ideologue that disguises her left dogma within the Hollywood type celebrity.

    Or is Oprah just afraid?

    One might assume that, given Winfrey’s demographics. The largest part of her audience is white females over 55 years of age. Almost four times as many women watch as men, although she does get about 1.7 million men a day to view her show.

    How will that audience react to a freeze-out of Palin? Many want to see Palin speak to their issues, and might assume that the most successful woman in American entertainment would welcome the opportunity to make that introduction. Instead of making a business decision to do so, though, Winfrey has apparently made a political calculation that Palin will outshine the man she supports for President.

    Oprah has miscalculated and is hurting Barack Obama. Want to bet that Oprah reverses her position and invites Sarah Palin on her show?
