Oprah Winfrey to be WH Press Secretary -- source at HARPO confirms

[LostinVA]

OF COURSE it's not true.

[PresidentObama]

1. I'm still waiting for Bill Ayers to be the Head of the Department of Homeland Security. The GOP....

...would EXPLODE!!

:)

[LostinVA]

2. DAMN!!! I should have done that "leak"

I figure we know as much as the Talking Heads.

[PresidentObama]

3. Don't worry, I'm on it. I just posted it in a thread I started.

And of course we do, but they like to think they know what Obama is going to do.

[RichGirl]

12. That's ridiculous!!!

Ayers would have to be head of Department of Education...or maybe Explosives Czar.

[LostinVA]

15. OMFG

[Metric System]

4. Hell, why not? We can pretend it's true for a few days at least. How would that be different from

the media announcing last night that Pritzker is the new Secretary of Commerce only to find out that she has turned it down? So I say that Oprah IS the new Press Secretary until I hear that she's turned it down.

[PresidentObama]

5. Obama offered me the Secretary of Commerce, sources close to me say.

;) Maybe I'll turn it down.

[Metric System]

7. Oh the drama! What's with the "maybe"? Can't you just DECIDE?!?

heh

[LostinVA]

6. And, Oprah is at least as polarizing on DU as Hillary, so it can be fun!

[onehandle]

8. Ugh. Now THAT would drive me to Europe. nt

[LostinVA]

9. hahahahahaha -- see? I said she was more polarzing on DU than Hillary!

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. She'd probably do a decent job

But I doubt she'd give up her own multi-billion dollar empire for it.

[whistler162]

11. My sources at Zeppo and Chico say it is.....

but Groucho hasn't returned the call! They are awaiting the magic word.

[tblue]

13. Could she just pls bail out the auto industry?

[LostinVA]

16. She probably has the money!

[AlCzervik]

14. "Today on OOOOOOP-RAHHHH!"

[LostinVA]

20. OMG -- that would be so funny -- she could open her briefings like that

"I'll call on Helen first -- GIRLFRIEND! I LOVE those new shoes. Are they Prada? Gail and I bought some of those last weekend when we were in New York. Oh? What's that about the Pakistani Ambassador?"

[crispini]

17. LOL. Well you certainly made my eyes bug out of my head! nt

[LostinVA]

19. You believed me for a second, right???

[crispini]

21. Hell yeah. I was all like, wait, WHAT?

hee hee hee.

[LostinVA]

23. It's scarily possible -- and as accurate as most of the leaks!

[Generator]

18. Not good if it was true

She'd just buy off the press with give-aways. "You get a new laptop!" Next question.

[marshall]

22. But I hope they will be turning down the sheets in the Lincoln bedroom for La Winfrey

She deserves a few nights there.

[Ozma]

24. Source:? Harpo Marx????

[LostinVA]

25. I KNEW OBAMA WAS A COMMIE!!!

Wait -- that's KARL Marx.
