Touchdown! Greaser!
Doesn't Oprah have enough money? Why can't she leave some for others to earn?
After my first billion, yes.Would you?
I would not want to try to give O an O.
Pick a new wrinkle every night..Maybe she pays by the pound. [hers, not yours]
Pick a new wrinkle every night..
There is not enough flour in this hemisphere to find the right one.
She supports anyone that supports socialism.
It’s the smart tactic for multi-hundred-millionaires. Especially entertainers. It makes their audience think they actually care about them. It also supports their personal delusion that they’re still just like everyone else. Win, win.
I remember the car giveaway debacle. She gave everyone in the audience a new car in conjunction with GM or something, and forgot everyone in the audience would have to report the car as income on their taxes.
Why would she know that? She has people to take care of that tax stuff for her.
She went out of touch with her relatively normal beginnings in Chicago TV long long ago.

Was that "oh" or "zero"?
Syntax matters - here we go again.
.....uh "oh"!
I would not want to get an O from O.
Don't think that's even possible.
Wasn’t she one of those peeps who said she’d leave the country if a certain someone took office? Well, O, GTFOH!
Is that an Oh from Oh, or a Zero from Zero, or a Oh from zero or a zero from oh?
Heck I'm waiting for Streisand, Cher, and Baldwin to leave. Surprised Trump hasn't called them out on it.
Baldwin can't leave...he IS Trump.
That would be a funny tweet from Trump... "Please send me your new address so I can update my Christmas card list"
Oh, I'm sure she knew about the tax repercussions for the winners but she knew the initial buzz and goodwill from the giveaway would eclipse any subsequent bad feelings due to the taxes. Besides, the cars given away were worth $28,500 at the time and the taxes were $7,000 at most according to this article. So, I would not be bitching too much if I had won. Also, GM provided the cars, not oprah. So she got a great deal of publicity at relatively zero cost to her.
Personally, I never understood the allure of oprah or her show. She always seemed so phony with all of that fake crying and all.
She didn’t. There were a bunch of interviews about it later. She was absolutely clueless. She brought in a whole bunch of really broke people and handed them essentially a nice new car for the price of a used car loan at the time, but the loan was all due April 15th. Ha.
And she wasn’t exactly dealing with the tax-educated here, since she picked really broke folks for that giveaway.
I think the best thing Oprah ever did was unleash Dr Phil on the world. LOL LOL LOL.
(Texas drawl mode on...)
“Ya need to give yerself a huuuuuuuug!”
ROFL.
I didn’t know she had brought in a bunch of real poor people for that show. I assumed they were her normal audience, middle class while women suffering from white guilt.
