(It's
one of
those statements that makes you think more and more how low can our culture go. )
Oprah Winfrey's expected announcement that she'll end her show -- and the
prospect that she'll say goodbye to Chicago – has Mayor Daley placing some blame
on the media.
CBS 2's Mike Parker reports.
Daley said Thursday
evening he's going to call Oprah to get the real story. But he's obviously
concerned that if she says farewell to this city it'll be a blow to Chicago's
image.
"I think she was the most successful woman that we will ever know
in the history of this country," Daley said at a fundraising event.
(There have been a lot of women who have done things to make America, the world, and our culture better but Mayor Daley thinks Oprah is not only the most successful so far but will be the most successful. I like what my friend
Denny Hartford posted on his
Vital
Signs Blog last week.
"For in the mind of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley (and probably many other
celebrity worshipers), Oprah Winfrey, a New Age egotist who talks about mostly
inane, irrelevant topics on a TV program, soars above all mothers, scientists,
political leaders, doctors, educators, policewomen, missionaries, First Ladies,
soldiers, philanthropists, writers, social activists, adventurers, athletes,
nurses, artists and caregivers." Amen Denny!)
