Oprah Winfrey Is Your New Godhead

by Sara K. Smith  10:34 am January 21, 2009

She's going to move to DC and wreck the Obamas' marriage.Oddly enough, this is how we conclude grace around the Wonkette “dinner table” (i.e. oil drum full of burning trash). Thanks to operative Jack for sending along this lovely photo from yesterday’s festivities, where Oprah Winfrey was appointed Permanent Empress of Earth.

We do too, except it’s Kathy Lee and Buddhallah.

Hail Oprah, full of waist, the lard is with thee.

NoWireHangers January 21, 2009 at 10:42 am

Some people credit Oprah with “getting” Obama Iowa. I believe that’s where this sign is coming from.

I will welcome to my home refugees fleeing the newly named nation of Ugogirl formerly US America.

The Onion is the new Nostradumbass.

I hear God sent Oprah (and Will I. Am… but I digress) a note that said: “Thanks. I couldn’t have done it without you).

Truculent January 21, 2009 at 10:45 am

Could have been worse. Sign could have read “All the glory to God, and thanks to Rush Limbaugh.” You remember — his expert strategy to confuse and demoralize the Democrats so the republcians could win the White House and both houses of Congress. You don’t?

Steadman has to carry her Twinkies, if you know what I mean. Nom nom nom.

Totally off topic, but I was wandering around georgetown yesterday morning and saw the Ligne Roset. FOR REALS. and it was awful. its like paying 50x what you’d pay for IKEA and getting the same damn furniture.

Let them eat cake!…Wait!…Let ME eat cake!

Iggy Plop January 21, 2009 at 10:48 am

pffft. Empress of Earth my ass. Aretha now rules us all – I saw that hat; I know what it means.

grendel January 21, 2009 at 10:49 am

Aren’t God and Oprah one in the same?

Mr Blifil January 21, 2009 at 10:51 am

That’s nice. Now when are we going to turn “Big Hollywood” into a non-stop Trucknutz ad?

DarkSynergy January 21, 2009 at 10:52 am

If you think about this too hard, you head will implode.

Sussemilch January 21, 2009 at 10:53 am

Not exactly the kind of sign you paint in your garage. I wonder which Harpo lackey paid this dude to wave it?

slithytoves January 21, 2009 at 10:55 am

[re=224478]Iggy Plop[/re]: Agreed. I offered fruit and libations to Aretha’s image on a jewel case this very morning.

DarkSynergy January 21, 2009 at 10:55 am

Goddammit, I need to learn to proofread.

friendlynerd January 21, 2009 at 10:55 am

I am O. Bow before me.

Cape Clod January 21, 2009 at 10:57 am

Throw her a bone. Make her Secretary of Crappy Bestsellers or something.

(Actually, ‘throw her a bone’ isn’t the best metaphore when it come to Miss Winfrey)

WadISay January 21, 2009 at 10:58 am

If Oprah was really divine, she’d be handing out Lexuses, not Pontiacs.

WadISay January 21, 2009 at 11:01 am

This fellow could teach the “Half breed Muslin” sign guy a lot about the form and content of sign making.

Colander January 21, 2009 at 11:02 am

If I’m too poor to self-medicate by drinking every night, AND these next four years are all Jeebus, all the time, I really don’t know what I’m going to do. ‘Be poor,’ I guess.

sevenrepeat January 21, 2009 at 11:04 am

we usually end our prayers with a quote from the color purple and sing “maybe god is trying to tell you something” in my household. two of my roomies are drag queens.

pourmecoffee January 21, 2009 at 11:04 am

I’m hoping she picks the Constitution for Oprah’s Book Club. Maybe then at least Lynne Cheney will read it.

mattbolt January 21, 2009 at 11:06 am

The new national anthem of our chocolate-faced leader, the esteemed Young Jeezy’s “My president is black”, has some baffling Oprah Winfrey shoutout on a placard at one point, with the rest of the placards being a bizarre mix of dead people ranging from Bernie Mac to Jam Master Jay to Soulja Slim (??) to Che Guevara to… Gandhi?! Yeah, I can see how the combined forces of Oprah, Bernie Mac and Gandhi really masterminded this election.

Oh, right, the masterpiece in question, for people over 40: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3I3XMZNt8uI

[re=224502]WadISay[/re]: Oprah saves the auto industry! Oh, wait.

loquaciousmusic January 21, 2009 at 11:10 am

My dad was on Oprah three times. Fat, thin, fat. I have the video tapes somewhere in my basement.

skutre January 21, 2009 at 11:18 am

OT?

Boy, the colors on that grey and blue sectional are gorgeous though.

Guppy06 January 21, 2009 at 11:23 am

[re=224510]mattbolt[/re]: I saw placards for Iraq, Haiti, and Africa. So I guess Sarah was right after all about Africa being a single country and all.

AngryBlakGuy January 21, 2009 at 11:25 am

…I envision Oprah being more of an “Overlord” than “Empress”.

heroinmule January 21, 2009 at 11:29 am

Oprah farts on you. You then become a multi-millionaire, famous, or POTUS — or perhaps all three. It’s the way the world works.

Lorax January 21, 2009 at 11:40 am

The young signmaker, in his eagerness, unwittingly misrepresented the contract. I’m pretty sure “Thanks” was supposed to be “Franks”.

Carry on.

Kingbee January 21, 2009 at 11:43 am

[re=224526]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I, for one, welcome our new Pontiac-dispensing overlord.

Lascauxcaveman January 21, 2009 at 11:51 am

[re=224502]WadISay[/re]: “Lexii” (maybe?)

fillintheblank January 21, 2009 at 12:07 pm

the greatest trip Oprah every played was convincing the world she didn’t exist

Hart88 January 21, 2009 at 12:15 pm

Oprah totally paid for that sign

WhatTheHeck January 21, 2009 at 12:16 pm

[re=224479]grendel[/re]: Finally, the truth is out. God is a woman!!!

Min January 21, 2009 at 12:27 pm

Well, at least God got top billing.

[re=224478]Iggy Plop[/re]: That HAT. Oh my Lord! It was simply the best. Sorry, Tina Turner.

Czn939 January 21, 2009 at 1:24 pm

[re=224558]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: I think the proper Latin plural for Lexus is just “Lexi” with one “i”. Lexii would be plural for “Lexius”

[re=224461]pattycake[/re]: Zensunni or Zenshiite?

Vanity Smurf January 21, 2009 at 2:22 pm

[re=224581]Min[/re]: That’s how you can tell it wasn’t a Harpo plant.

liquiddaddy January 21, 2009 at 3:12 pm

An image of Oprah has appeared on my chocolate pudding skin. I honestly don’t know what to do with it.

Johnetic January 21, 2009 at 3:36 pm

Actually, to the O-heads it’s glory to Oprah and thanks to God. I’m glad my wife doesn’t read this site, or she would not have sex with me for a month for saying that.

lawrenceofthedesert January 21, 2009 at 4:16 pm

Hopefully a foundation will fund a detailed study of the positive inverse correlation between Ms. Winfrey’s girth and the US GDP; only Greenspan’s fear of technology and the human body has prevented it. Once confirmed, an Oprah icon could be included on every business cable channel’s crawl. So much easier for visual learners: if Oprah completely covers your wide screen HD, it means that the US has gone out of business. If she looks like Kate Moss, take your profits!

Juice-IL January 22, 2009 at 10:13 am

Shit, I was on the metro with that woman. She also had a couple of sticks to hold up the banner, we told her if she tried to bring them in secret service would probably have her shipped to Gitmo. The end.
