\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Somebody sent me a note saying nobody recognizes Oprah without the wig and the makeup. What is that about? Is there a picture of Oprah out there that I don\u2019t know about? Or is she in a movie where she doesn\u2019t look like herself? Everybody assumes I know everything, so they send me these notes sometimes and I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about. Sometimes I get emails without any data in them. And so I\u2019ve been perplexed by this for the last 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, now, I finally figured out what this cryptic message about Oprah was. See, I don\u2019t care about Oprah in the first place, so I don\u2019t stay informed and up to date on Oprah. I don\u2019t know what Oprah\u2019s doing. So I get this note, “No one recognizes Oprah without the wig and the makeup,” and I said, “What the hell is that about?” Well, I finally found out what it\u2019s about. Grab audio sound bite seventeen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Apparently last night on Entertainment Tonight (figures), Nancy O\u2019Dell interviewed media mogul The Oprah, and during a discussion about whether The Oprah still experiences racism… What is she, the highest-paid woman on TV in the world? So naturally they would do a discussion on whether Oprah still experiences racism. It makes total sense, doesn\u00c2\u2019t it? She\u2019s got her own TV network. She\u2019s got her own magazine.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s one of the wealthiest people in the world. She\u2019s probably the wealthiest media person in the world on a talent side of things. She\u2019s a billionaire. She just won the Medal of Freedom from Obama. By the way, speaking of that… I think it\u2019s the Medal of Freedom. It\u2019s some presidential medal, and there\u2019s like 17 of them that were announced, and there\u2019s not one conservative individual on the list. Not one!<\/p>\n

Not one.<\/p>\n

Now, granted, they\u2019re chosen by the president or staff or whatever. But not one. I\u2019ve got the list here. I almost threw that away, too. I might have thrown it away. I don\u2019t remember. I\u2019m throwing more and more stuff away but I think I kept that. Not one conservative on the list, and understandably. Politically, Obama\u2019s a big liberal Democrat, but he\u2019s also the great unifier. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s also the one working real hard with people, to bring us all together, supposedly, which is a crock. Everybody knows it. Anyway, back to Nancy O\u2019Dell and Entertainment Tonight, and the question about whether or not The Oprah still experiences racism. Nancy O\u2019Dell said, “Just a couple of weeks ago, you faced a shopping incident while you were in Switzerland attending Tina Turner\u2019s wedding.” <\/p>\n

OPRAH: I didn\u2019t have my eyelashes on, but I was in full Oprah Winfrey gear, and I go into a store — which shall remain unnamed — and I say to the woman, “Uh, excuse me, may I see that bag right above your head?” and she says to me, (mocking her accent) “No. It\u2019s too expensive.” Uh, one more time I tried. I said, “But I really do just really want to see that one,” and she said, “Oh, I don\u2019t… I don\u2019t want to hurt your feelings,” and I said, “Okay. Thank you so much. You\u2019re probably right. I can\u2019t afford it,” and I walked out of the store. Now why did she do that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, obviously she\u2019s a racist scum who thought you as a black person couldn\u2019t afford anything, certainly not that bag, and she wanted you out of the store. That\u2019s what we\u2019re all to conclude. Why not mention the brand name? Who was it? Gucci? Louis Vuitton? Is that how you pronounce it? Vuitton? Who was it? Tell us who it was! By the way, this is not the first such incident with the Oprah. <\/p>\n
