I cannot believe how many hits I keep getting from searches on "Oprah for President", because of this post (one that I'm not particularly proud of).
As a commenter here pointed out to me, there really is an "Oprah for President" website. I think they're serious.
Let me clarify something here: I would not vote for Oprah for President, I do not want her to run, and I do not think she has a snowball's chance of winning.
I wouldn't vote for her because she's pro-choice, she's a leftie, she supported Gore in 2000, she's said things that strike me as just a wee bit flaky on occasion. Example:
"Sometimes I feel that in our carelessness (regarding pollution, global warming, etc.), we are strangling the earth, and like any living creature, the earth is fighting back."Um-hmm.
I mean, Oprah's a very successful talk show host, actress, business owner, and general all-purpose celebrity, but that doesn't mean she's qualified to be president.
Just hope that clears things up.

That reminds me of an old George Carlin bit, in which the earth has allowed us to evolve, waiting for the moment we create plastic, then it sloughs us off because it doesn't need us anymore: it now has plastic!
It's cosmic-comic irony. Oprah must have taken it seriously.
