Senator Oprah?!

The Queen of Talk was considered to fill President Barack Obama’s empty United States Senate seat, embattled Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich revealed on Good Morning America Monday.

The governor, whose historic impeachment trial begins today, says that Emmy Award-winning talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey “was obviously someone with a much broader bully pulpit than other senators.”

“She seemed to be someone who would help Barack Obama in a significant way become president.”

“My plan was to get up and watch ‘Good Morning America’ and work out and then I just thought, ‘Let me just lay here another half hour.’ If I had been watching, as I normally watch — from the treadmill, I would have fallen off the treadmill,” says Lady O. “I’m pretty amused by the whole thing.”

When asked by BFF Gayle King on XM Radio Monday if she would consider the seat, Oprah replied:

“Absolutely not. I would have said, ‘Where would I fit it in with my day job? My mid-day job, my night job, my radio job, my magazine job?’”
