So we're supposed to believe (in addition to everything else) that Rod didn't think Oprah would pick up the phone if he called?

1. Actually, I think it's a soap opera
The writing isn't really up to par. The plot is desultory and incoherent.

Also, it wouldn't have done him any good to call Oprah. She would have to take a serious pay cut to join the Senate.

3. I think the point is she has enough money to pay blago for the seat.

2. Thanks for the Post.
Soon to be former, Gov. Blagojevich is not a Man of Honor. Any Man of Honor would have resigned at the public outcry.

Maybe J-s-s will Rapture him while he is on tour?

4. My take is that...
he had the idea that appointing Oprah would put the power of
her mass popularity behind him and help him hold on.

6. Besides that
I am so sure that if Oprah wanted to be in the senate she could not manage to run and win a seat, she is so unknown and unpopular:sarcasm: Yeah, she really NEEDS Blago! This guy is a total fruit loop!
