Poor Michelle…looks like Oprah has you in her clutches now.
I AM OPRAH, HEAR ME ROAR!
…poor Barack. He needs something with longer coat tails.
Hilarious!
OMG, finally an Obama pic without “Epic Win” in it. This really is just another example that Oprah truely is a shameless attention whore.
Like we needed yet another example.
I have never seen a pic of Obama saying “Epic Win” on it soooo… yeah
She actually did a lot for his campaign, they will probably have to give her a cabinet position.
Not since the Pendleton Act!
Yes, Secretary of Random Free Gifts. And Dr. Phil can be Secretary of Bald Douchebags Who Shouldn’t Be Allowed In Public.
Okay, that was funny!
I’m thinking Oprah for Secretary of Imperious Gasbags. Maybe Dr. Phil for Ambassador to Antarctica…
LOL!
I cannot stand dr. phil… UGH!!!!!
He just released a new book -
More Advice I Pulled Out of My Ass.
Hey, if you can snooker enough people into buying your book and thereby making yourself fabulously rich, you just go right ahead and do it! And then come back and tell us how that’s werkin’ fer yew.
Hey froo, how’s that working for yew?
LOL!!!! New Tile for a book: WIN!!
or Title…keyboard typo…Fail
I do believe that is a win.
Bastage! Yes, yogurt is good for me – but I doubt it’s any good for my sinuses. Owww….
That’ll learn me to eat and read here.
Isn’t he unlicensed in the US because of ethical violations? Yeah, that’s a guy I’d trust…
Also, what he did to Britney Spears was pretty appalling and didn’t someone on his show try and bail one of those girls involved in the youtube entrapment/beatdown of another girl out of jail to put her on his show? Smells like a scumbag to me…
Like a bald Jerry Springer
Yeah, but at least Jerry Springer doesn’t take himself seriously.
He does politically.
It’s a shame he was denied eligibility to run for (I think) Governor of Ohio because he couldn’t get out of his TV contract.
Jerry Springer was caught with a prostitute and even wrote her bad checks. That’s why he’s not in office in Ohio.
She only got him elected to annoy the Texas Beef Council.
I know she was a supporter, but I didn’t hear much about her after the primaries. What did she actually do for the campaign, though? I know she’s got the deepest pockets in the land, but there’s a legal limit on how much a single person can donate, I’m pretty sure.
What I mean is she endorsed him, and she has a huge following that will pretty much do what she says, read what she tells them, etc… I’m not sure how much she donated.
Probably the legal limit of $2300.
A hahahahahaha!!!! You and your naïvety make me smile.
Rather than just announcing to the world that your jackassishness knows no bounds, why don’t you try to back up your statement? Not everyone who disagrees with you is dishonest.
If you donated in small amounts over the internet you didn’t have to disclose that info. She probably donated millions in small increments. Do you really think Obama raised all that money from $5 donations.
Oh NOooo conspiracy!!!!!11one!!!1
TIN FOIL HAT.
Yep. I’m pretty sure the polls support that he really DID raise the money the way he said. Unless Oprah rigged those too. (not to mention, she’d have to have a LOT of interns using all different credit card #’s working for quite a while to donate millions in $5 increments. It’s 200,000 separate donations just to get to ONE million. Let alone several million.
What a nice little Naive trusting soul you are !
Capitalization fail.
I, for one, gave Obama a couple hundred dollars over several months. I know several other people that also did. Not that anecdotal data is reliable, but…
So did I. More ancedotal data!
Btw, Oprah annoys me so hard…..
The law does not require that Obama disclose the names of smaller contributers. That law does not a conspiracy make. Record keeping requirements prevent stacking smaller contributions into a sum greater than $2300 for each individual. If the system had not been in place for limiting donations, the McCain campaign would have been all over it. As it was, John McCain, in a couple of speeches I saw, tried to make the lawful procedure look suspicious, but failed. He dropped that innuendo when it failed to work.
I completely agree with this logical reasoning, and yet I’m surpised and confused to find it here on this forum….
Perhaps we should wear our tin foil hats just in case?
Except for the fact that you can purchase individual Visa prepaid cards with no recording of owner or number. Reality fail.
Pretty sure the law prevents them from taking numerous anonymous doantions like this. I gave them $10. it was all I could afford. I never gave to ANY campaign before. Lots of other people did the same. It adds up. In reality.
Evidently you didn’t contribute online. Knowledge fail.
Except that public disclosures had donations coming for foreign donors like fhghfhghf….
Right. because you have sources other than from bill o’reilly, etc.
i wears mah ducktape gloves or teh governments will stealz mah handbrains. that’s how we write ya know, and then when we can’t write we can’t communicate and teh governments silents the masseses!!!1!!one!
I sent him $25, a first for me. Several of my friends did the same. Yes, I do believe it.
I sent him $25, a first for me. Several of my friends did the same. Yes, I do believe it.
I thought the limit was 10K?
For an individual it is $2300. PACs and other organization have different limits, but what you can have donated under your name is $2300 directly to the campaign. You can give a certain amount to a PAC or what have you, but they are subject to other rules and regulations.
When is Oprah going to get it over with and just declare herself the Messiah of Oprahism?
Religion is a vehicle for amassing temporal power. Oprah has already amassed such power… why bother with a religion at this stage?
So people would follow her and donate money and read her books.
Also, then you wouldn’t have to be taxed, because you are a religious organization, just like scientology.
Every moment is Oprah’s moment.
On election night, I was watching the coverage on various networks, and ABC gave a good 5-6 minutes to Ms. Winfrey. As she was enthusing about Obama, I had a horrible suspicion. I turned to my fiancé and said to him, “Oh shit, what if everyone is just voting for Obama because Oprah told them to?? You know, like the way that there are all of these good books that no one ever reads that become bestsellers as soon as Oprah puts them in her book club?” Then we laughed at my silly idea and moved on.
Now I’m wondering how silly my idea actually was. Plus, I’m getting pretty sick of Oprah, no matter how pure her motives may be. The lady needs to calm down — doesn’t she have an issue of her magazine going to press soon, or something else of equal importance (to her) to work on?
well for the moment let us give the premise that obama won the election due to Oprah. Now if the books she puts on her reading list are good books to begin with, is there a problem? I see that it is questionable with people, however if Obama was a good canidate then, got attention and was sky rocketed through that, he is still a good canidate.
In the same sense I believe Palin is an awful canidate, got press, and is still a god awful canidate (even more so). the attention of more masses would bring more questions about this new things and it did not bring him down.
~
that being said i don’t really think he won that way. I think it may have been easier to win, but it wasn’t just oprah.
A) His own campaign quoted possibly more than 1 million votes because of her. B) Good is usually subject to the reader. I hate Harry Potter but the books sold millions to many adults – it’s god awful writing IMO. Sweet Valley High with Magic. C) He had plenty of things that could have brought him down, instead he played hypocrite, spent millions in negative advertising then cried about McCain’s negative advertising and his “negative tone”. D) I hate Oprah, but when people say they didn’t see her, that just affirms my thoughts that no one has even come close to watching anything he says and just watches the news. She’s appeared with him often and held a few “conferences”, rallies, whatever she called them in his support.
Well SOMEONE’S a Negative Nancy today.
Or an Oppositional Oppenheimer …
… P?
Pissy Patty?
Quarrelous Quincy
Whackjob Winona?
Even if he did get a million votes from her, he won by a margin of nearly 9 million votes. So yeah, it might have been slightly closer if not for Oprah, but you still can’t say that he wouldn’t have won without her.
Poor writing? An author who can get KIDS to HAPPILY read books that are over 700 pages, on average? Wow, work on your standards, Rollins is GREAT writing! Her books don’t drag, they literally PULL you in and along!
Amazing stuff!
E. CanDidate.
Okay, so let’s just say that Oprah directly caused 1 million votes (that would otherwise have gone for McCain) to go to Obama. Wanna account for the other 7.5 million? Hmmm???
I voted for McCain and I am not at all a fan of Oprah. That said, this lol offends me on more levels than I can count. Shame on whoever put this one together.
Please elaborate…if you didn’t vote for Obama and don’t like Oprah, then what’s your issue?
It is not offensive to call someone a whore now…dang I did not get that memo.
I guess dignity, good taste and manners all left on the same train.
Whether you like her or not “whore” is a little bit strong for someone whose biggest fault as I see it is being a little full of herself.
*overly sensitive*. Attention whore does not mean we’re calling her an actual ‘whore’. See urban dictionary.
“A little full of herself?” That’s like calling a woman in labor “a little pregnant.” I read the caption “Attention Whore” as a title, rather than “Attention, whore”…
“Attention Whore” is a title. She is much more than “a little full of herself”.
“A little full of herself”? Are we talking about the same Oprah?
Anyone else having trouble trying to post today? They keep “poofing” into the ozone…then magically show up later…
I am! I tried four times to post something earlier. Two did eventually get through, but it took about twenty minutes.
Could be “Postus Interruptus”…ooooh…hope I didn’t offend anyone…
Kinky but then it just sprays onto the skin. Wait, what?
I read that as “POTUS” interruptus and got a mental image I’ve been trying reallly hard not to get anymore….
At least you have something new to bring up in therapy!!
LOL! I love new terms.. postus interruptus.. Mah-ve-lous!
…Huh? What are you even talking about? How is this offensive?
LOLnews comprehension fail!
Perhaps Ruth simply enjoys having something to be “offended” over. Outrage junkies are a dime a dozen.
I am offended at her offense.
I am offended at your taking offense that she is offended.
I find your offense at ck’s taking of offense to be highly offensive!
I am deeply offended by the over use of the word offended within this string and in my own post >:{
I am offended at myself for reading this offensive thread!
I’m offended at you for making myself offended enough to refresh the page so that I can read the next offense.
To this thread I have attended
Seeing all who are offended
and all the posts that are pended
With the rebuttals they have fended
And hopes that fences will be mended
But in the end we are all offended
So offended, how offended
We are offended that we attended
and attended because we’re offended.
And the trend within our lives will not not be ended
I’m offended at your rhyming.
I offended by your offensive tone and derision of my labor of love.

(Although in actuality, I like your poems.
Now make sure to use Duck or Puck, childish humor ensues. And I am glad you like them.
Damn, I have to be offended to stay on topic. I am offended that the homemade nachos I brought burned the roof of my mouth cuz I was stupid and didn’t nuke them properly. My stupidity offends me.
I’m offended both by the childish humor and the fact that you didn’t offer me any of your nachos.
Nachos nuked too hot by wyrm
Burnt his mouth,
now see him squirm
Offended that he failed to offer a dish
Kuromisa had to fulfill his/her own nacho wish…
(Sorry, Kuromisa, I don’t know if you’re male or female)
*offers nachos* Careful, they are very hot. And I am offended by my lack of manners.
@ mothergoose: WIN!!!!!!!!!
YAY for me!!!!
Yay! Suddenly, I am no longer offended!

Also, yay for poems! (And by the way, I’m female. Just for the record.
I am offended that people are no longer offended
Did somebody say nachos?
I’m mildly put-off by your offense at the over-use of the word “offended” within this string…
Simply put, this off-putting, off-message effrontery
should be put off off Broadway.
I am deeply outraged at your comment!
n8, I saw the name ‘Ruth’ in your post and read it as ‘Rush’. I couldn’t figure out if Rush Limbaugh posted here or if you were accusing another person of being his sock……..levity ensued
Hey! We can post again–YAY!!
Ha! Now that -would- be interesting. I wonder if Rush could defend his positions here. He wouldn’t be able to cut our mic’s or go to commercial, so I’m thinking we’d shred him.
Are you just against the black folks?
I’m offended by YOU
This is an EXCELLENT lol.
Pimpin’ ain’t easy, bro.
I didn’t vote for Obama and I can’t stand Oprah and I don’t know how on earth you could be offended by this picture. I laughed so hard I almost shot milk out of my nose. Gross for cereal! Yay for LOLs! I wish I had this poster I would so put it somewhere in my house. Maybe in my bathroom. Above my toilet.
. . . in the toilet . . . so i could . . . you get the picture
ATTENTION WHORE (The Trifecta)
I hear tell that Oprah threw her support behind Obama because she has a full mad-on-schoolgirl crush on Barack; sources saythat, when she gets around him, she’s like a high-school cheerleader wanting to be asked to the prom by the Star Quarterback/Big Man On Campus.
A little bit of wicked PhotoShopping would erase Michelle and put Oprah where she most wants to be: Mrs. Obama 2.0
You’re right. This very picture was taken just as Oprah was attempting to break Michelle Obama’s arm!
*evil laugh* Muuuaaaaahhhahahahahahahahaha!!! Scandal #1!!!!!
Actually, it could be done very easily. I did exactly that with a family photo that had my ex-wife in it. ‘Shopped her out, moved two of the kids left, and viola!
If only you could have done that IRL!
I did! Hence, the ex-wife..
Okay, that’s officially my new euphemism for divorce. “Oh..(s)he got ’shopped out.”
LOL!
WIN!
Please. Oprah is a lesbian with her long time partner Gail.
Doesn’t mean she can’t have hetero ‘crushes’.
I’ve always wondered just what Oprah did to get famous. Was she in any movies other than The Color Purple? Did she get where she is through the usual “networking”: i.e. not what you know but who you know? It amuses me when I see her magazine at the checkout and her picture is on every cover. I guess massive ego is the most important character trait in America.
I live close to Baltimore, Md…she started out as a newscaster here before she went to Chicago. She was OK as a newsie, but then started her own AM Talkshow, and America hasn’t been the same since…
My late beloved Mother, who was as conservative as they get, always spoke highly of Opera as being the best of the talk show hosts. She is ahead of the pack, the top of the field.
Speaking as someone who runs screaming from the room when Oprah is on TV, she got famous for having insight and compassion that move a lot of people. Especially female people. I don’t get it, but I respect it.
Just please, please, please, don’t make me listen to her.
Sistah bought and paid for him; of course she wants credit for it.
Uh, I don’t think you’re allowed to buy people here any more.
They’re black people. Black people can still buy other black people.
THAT’S THE AMERICAN WAY!
::spew::
HILARIOUS
This is a very cheap shot lolz and the only time I’ve complained about one.
Worse, it’s the opposite of the truth. After she did her stadium thing last year, Winfrey disappeared behind the scenes. I am not a fan of the woman, but at least give her her fucking due – after staying out of politics for years, she knew she was going to alienate part of her TV audience by doing this. She also had guts to resist the drumbeat of the Clinton team, which many other black celebrities and political figures didn’t and weren’t there for Obama until after Hillary dropped out.
As with most humor, these things are really only truly funny when they are honest. This one wasn’t.
Well, opinions are like arm pits, everyone’s got one or two. But really, the gist of the matter is, Oprah loves the attention, in any shape or form. And you can bet that she cuddles herself at night over her support of Obama.
Is it a bad thing to like attention, now?
No, but when you try and take over another person’s moment it is..
Uh, dude, that pic is over a year old.
But thanks for playing anyways…
Wow, I don’t know what I’d do if it weren’t for strangers on the internet telling me what was funny or not. And here I am in real life laughing at strange moments. Please sir, please tell me the secret of knowing what is humor and what is not.
The Logic League strikes again!
In bed and I am overdressed.
For my sake, that’s a good thing too!
Wow, I thought the OP had a stick up his bum but you clearly surpassed him!
Sarcasm understanding fail..
I think mainly they fail at life. They couldn’t even put together a name that wasn’t generic and boring. I smell a sock, or an idiot.
Did anyone else ever notice that Oprah kind of looks like Aughra from the Dark Crystal sans the extra eye?
Is it just me, or does Oprah look a LOT like E.T.?
All yur attenshuns belong to ME!
I’m offended by my own comment….
I saw this earlier today. Had hoped it had been removed by this afternoon. It is very offensive to me. Oprah is a good and decent woman who has done much for many people around the world. Referring to her as a whore (of any variety) is repugnant and not at all funny.
Get in line for offensive LOL’s, and then please to remove yourself from an off-color LOL site. Don’t like it, don’t come back. You don’t see me complaining about the weird-looking McCain pictures posted up here, do you? Didn’t think so
-
And if you can’t see Oprah for the attention whore that she is, then you’re in denial. No one gives away cars on national TV unless they want people looking at them.
Right on, froofrou…I voted for McCain, yes I did, but still some of the shots at McCain/Palin on here were pretty funny.
The Constitution does NOT guarantee the right not to be offended, so be off with all of you whiners! You’re free to speak your minds, but don’t demand that the LOLs be removed from your oversensitive sight.
Please remove the stick from your ass, it offends me.
Ohhh… boo-hoo.. I’m offended that your offended. So maybe you should remove yourself?
Yay!! Oprah getting her hands all over a new obsession!!!! Before you know it, everyone in the White House (Party Central!) will be wearing the latest Prada Cashmere scarf dealy.
Oprah=big joke
Every moment is Oprah’s moment. *rolls eyes*
I lol’d
Lols are supposed to be funny. This one just ain’t funny.
Oprah was in the audience along with a sobbing Jesse Jackson at the “moment” for President-Elect Obama’s acceptance speech. I guess facts don’t matter when you just want to be nasty.
Need help with that stick?
Nah. Need help finding your brain? That’s one of the lamest of the old and lame. Come on, bub. Bring it.
*collapses on the floor into a puddle of jelly at kaity’s witty reply*
-
*rolls eyes*
-
It’s a LOL site. Some of them are offensive. THAT’S THE POINT. Get over it, or leave.
-
Besides, Oprah is the biggest attention whore since…..well, ever, and her interjecting herself into this picture just proves it. That doesn’t make her a bad person or in any way taint Obama’s win, but it just shows her for what she is.
Dude, you really have no idea if she injected herself or they told her to lean in for the photo. The point is the picture itself LOOKS like; there’s no reason to rationalize the joke at all.
Or, y’know, this might just be a LOL site and therefore not worth getting that outraged over. Just a thought.
Well said in only a few words.
Lord almighty, suck it up.
This barely registers on the offend-o-meter, you putz.
With all due respect, these lolz are reflections on a “moment”…this is not a comment on a picture of Oprah crying on election night.
I find the whole thing incredibly silly. Is it famous people that are full of themselves, or are we the ones in fact that are the problem? We pile all of this attention on these people and then complain at the nature of their response. Apparently, Oprah is full of herself, yet the only evidence folks are presenting is the argument itself. I guess if it’s repeated often enough, it’s supposed to be true.
I have nothing against the woman, but I’m not a rabid fan hanging on her every word, either. Truth be told, the only difference between her and us on this forum are the number of zeros in her monthly income. None of us here post with the assumption that we’re wrong any more than she does when hosting her show. So, who’s really full of themselves? The one with a bunch of money and millions of viewers that believes she knows what she’s talking about, or the ones that pile on empty criticism because it seems like the in thing to do, completely ignoring the fact that we’re just as arrogant as she is?
So a couple of things:
1. Oprah actually kept pretty quiet about Obama on her show during the election. The army of suburban housewives who watch her show every afternoon and read stupid books because she says so, actually tend toward the political right and she probably feared alienating them and she makes a lot more money when they buy a book with the “Oprah’s Book Club” sticker on it than she will because of Obama’s election (after all, her taxes will be going up)
2. Give people who watch Oprah a little credit. We are not all mindless drones. I’ve been watching Oprah’s show since college and own exactly nothing that she recommended on her x-mas episode, only read her magazine in waiting rooms, and have only bought her book club books off of bargin tables because they were books I wanted to read, not because of the “O” sticker.
3. Has any one accused Bill Gates of rigging the election? He has way more money than Oprah and is way more computer savy. He could probably pay someone to write a program that would apply for credit using bogus social security #s, then use said credit to donate in small amounts to his favourite candidate and BAM! he’s bought us a president all while doing rich people stuff. I say this not to actually accuse Mr. Gates of misbehaviour but instead to say “Paranoid much, folks?”
Oprah needs to realize she’s not nearly as important as the president.
