Oprah Winfrey—the Queen of Chicago, the Champion of Barack Obama, and the giver away of much charity (while we can’t build a school in Africa, we can work towards a cause using The Point)—managed to make quite a splash on election night. Although she didn’t upstage President-Elect Obama, she came close at least twice.
The first time occurred during an interview with ABC News in Grant Park, when Oprah told a reporter, “Listen, we’ll take the drug addicts’ vote” (see video above). Wow! Oprah is so magnanimous. Maybe they’ll even take the votes of people whose egos are bigger than North America.
The second moment of grand theatrics occurred when she sobbed loudly on a man’s shoulder but never bothered to talk to him. Not even to apologize for the snot she got on his clothes. It has been discovered that Oprah’s borrowed shoulder belonged to Sam Perry, a volunteer for Obama’s campaign. To make amends as only the biggest talk show host can, Oprah has invited Perry to appear on her show today. I hope she at least bought him a new jacket (if not a car or his own school on another continent). This blazer from Rawganique is probably cheaper than getting a booger-covered sports coat dry-cleaned. While Oprah’s enthusiasm and commitment to her political convictions can be applauded, her erratic diva behavior is over the top (even by her own standards).
