We at Powdered Wig were celebrating the news that Oprah was considering running for President of the United States. The Democrat Party could give no greater gift to the Republican Party.
I missed Oprah’s speech at the Golden Globes as I am garbage-intolerant and stay away from sickening displays of Hollyweird narcissism where rooms full of self-proclaimed beautiful people stroke one another for hours, breaking from their mutual adulation only long enough for an occasional slam of President Trump.
The social media reaction to the news of Oprah’s pending nomination was immediate and brutal, so brutal that Oprah quickly sent her mouthpiece out to announce that “It’s not happening. She has no intention of running.”
Maybe the Democrat Party should nominate Jimmy Carter again. I know he is almost 100, but he is the only clean Democrat in the country.
