As his impeachment hearing started in the Illinois Senate today, Gov. Rod Blagojevich took his case to the American people via TV today. I missed all of it since I was at work, but word got out early that he actually considered offering Barack Obama's old seat to none other than Oprah Winfrey.
Now, from all the reports I saw tonight, B-Rod was complaining that 'the truth needed to come out' , but he really didn't seem to give details on his side of the story - unless the truth is already out there. But even the smallest shred of truth that Blago was willing to give the seat to Oprah tells me two things.
First, this tells me that Blagojevich really needs to be impeached, because he is a friggin idiot. Who would even entertain the though of pcking that self-absorbed narcissist as a Senator. Then again, aren't all people in DC self-absorbed?
Secondly, Blago telling us that he considered picking Oprah should almost convince you that he was out to fatten his wallet with the choice. After all, can you name anyone in Illinois with more cash than Oprah? If you're gonna sell the seat, sell it to the highest bidder, and there aren't much bigger fish than Oprah. But, she IS trying to get smaller....
Luckily, Oprah is not interested in the gig, and she says she never heard from him about it... Of course, she would have to quit her TV show to sit in the Senate. Thank God for equal time laws..
