I always thought that Oprah would jump on the bandwagon of the rugmunching carpetbagging chipmunk candidate. Turns out I was wrong:

Talk show host Oprah Winfrey plans to hold a Sept. 8 fundraiser for Democratic hopeful Barack Obama at her palatial estate near Santa Barbara, Calif., according to campaign spokesman Dan Pfeiffer.

This could outdo Batman and Robin on the all-time dynamic duo list. White people LOVE some Oprah, and Obama is essentially the male Oprah. For women, Oprah is the fat friend who tells them they’re pretty and says encouraging things like “you go girl!” For white men, Obama is the ultimate “one black friend” whose skin is dark enough to let everyone know you “celebrate diversity” and white enough to meet your racist grandfather. Most white people have no idea what Obama stands for, but they do know that a vote for him will get them “I’m not a racist, I voted for Obama” the next time they say something like “nappy headed ho.”
