First Oprah announced that she literally had gotten too big for her britches. She admitted - and what tacky person asked? - that she has hit the double centenary pound mark. I'm sorry you feel so bad about it, Oprah, and for health's sake you probably should try to shed a few pounds, but heck you are one big beautiful black woman, so don't get all shamey, do what you can and look gorgeous in the meantime. It might be karma for that wheel barrel of fat you had carted out on stage a while back.
Then Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, with the very slim resume, got carted off for allegedly trying to sell Barrack Obama's vacant Senate seat. It's not like it's never been done before, but you have to admire this guy's level of transparency. Rod married Chicago alderman Dick Mell's potty-mouthed daughter and rose to governor on a reform plank. Like the reform-minded guv from Alaska he got bored with the job and sought a national platform. There are no transcripts of Palin trying to sell Sen. Ted Steven's old seat. Yet. Though we face huge state deficits, I hope my NY Governor Patterson doesn't try to sell off Hillary Clinton's senate seat. And who knew being governor was such a giant yawn?
