The problem with the Oprahs of our age is that they've come to the point where if they don't experience a 24/7/365 ass-kissing they think their moist gobbits of rotting fame are sinking out of sight in today's contemporary celebrity sewage. And they are. Hence, they go to extreme lengths to keep the ass-kisses coming and, when they don't get it, they pout like the useless little floaters they are. Especially when they get to Europe where fewer people than ever buy into the "racist" hallucinations of a bulbous old bag on her way out. An old bag, it turns out, that can't even come up with a new "racist" hallucination but has to rely on one that has worked for her before.
Looking back a number of years it seems that Oprah Winfrey always has trouble shopping for handbags in Europe with Tina Turner. Does this sound strangely familiar?
From 2005: OPRAH VS. HERMES
Oprah hasn't just had beefs with people; she's also taken on luxury designers. This story is shrouded in controversy, but a few facts seem to have emerged. In 2005, Oprah showed up at a Hermes boutique in Paris to buy a purse. Unfortunately, though, the store had already closed and denied her request to slip in to quickly buy the handbag. Oprah was supposedly livid about what she considered to be rude treatment and suspected that the denial was based on racism, and a public war of words broke out. Oprah's Famous Feuds | Mental Floss
In addition she was hanging around, yet again, with Tina Turner:
The New York Daily News cited sources close to Winfrey as saying the talk show host was first rebuffed by a clerk and then a store manager. The Daily News reported Winfrey had gone to the store to buy a watch for singer Tina Turner, her dining partner that night. The New York Post, in its Monday Page Six gossip column, reported she was turned away because the store had been "having a problem with North Africans lately." In comments to CNN, an Hermes spokeswoman categorically denied that allegation. "There was never any discussion of North Africans," she said. "The story is not true."

That kind of razzamatazz from years back sounds a lot like today's headline:'Oprah's a liar': Sales assistant in Swiss racist handbag row denies telling TV host that she could not view item because she couldn't afford it
'I don't know why she is making these accusations. She is so powerful and I am just a shop girl. 'I didn't hurt anyone. I don't know why someone as great as her must cannibalize me on TV. 'If it had all taken place as she claimed, why has she not complained the next day at the wedding of Tina Turner with Trudie Goetz, my boss? She was there also at the Turner wedding as a guest. I don't understand it.
"I don't know why she is making these accusations..." says the shop girl. Well, we do. This serial slanderer is making them because she can and because, first and last, Oprah may have lots of money and fame but she has no class at all. None. Not a shred.
Thus does a pattern of phony racism emerge from this serial slanderer. First she's off to Europe for something involving Tina Turner. Then she needs a handbag because any one of the thousands she already owns just won't do. Then she waddles into a high end shop and then she waddles out and makes up some lie about what happens and steeps her buttocks in the warm and unquestioning media broth that they slurp upon her. For moral dwarfs like Oprah it has got to be a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling ass kissing all the time. Otherwise she remembers just what a useless blob she was and is.
People with actual class, people who are actually among the real established upper class, don't slander shop girls. They don't need to. They know who and what they are and they are secure in their status. That's the virtue of old money, real money, real class: "We don't buy handbags. We have them."
I'm sure the fact that she has an Oscar-bait movie that drips "race and social consciousness" coming out soon had nothing to do with it.

Between that and the Oprah pic over on the right-hand side of the page (500 lbs of bear liver in a plastic sack), I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
"I don't know why someone as great as her must cannibalize me.."
Shop Girl evens up the score with THAT verb.

Wait. Is "crony" a racist term now?

This graceless act of hers continues to confirm the opinion that she is not.

Sins of the fathers and whatnot, and I know they were estranged for a long time, but another data point for "they think that the rules of our society don't apply to them."
OK. Maybe Oprah is an entitled elitist of the 1%. But she cares about the rest of us, so that means something, amiright?
Personally, I'm looking forward to that movie of hers. I'm out of the country for a couple of weeks, and I hope it will still be in the theaters when I get back.
I mean just look at it: They tell us "She Smokes. She Smooches. She Dances in Bell Bottoms." How can I possibly keep my $10 in my pocket when I have the chance to see The Oprah™ dance in bell bottoms? Bell Bottoms, people!

Posted by: Greg Hlatky at August 13, 2013 1:01 PMHer accusations are the product of a victim mentality, something money cannot fix, apparently.
Second, her 'Apology' where she said she was sorry she 'mentioned it' is crapola.
Being 'sorry you mentioned it' is passive aggressive for: "I am hurt by 'whatever' and you obviously cannot comprehend it so never mind."
Just another self important gas bag.
BTW Where did she get that Mastodon Nut Sack to wear on her head?
I want one now.
"...and steeps her buttocks in the warm and unquestioning media broth that they slurp upon her."
Oh, for Christ's sake, Gerard! I was about to eat!
I guess tea is out, too.

Accept your racism own it and stop turning the victim into the problem! The store clerk was clearly racist and so are you. Oprah doesn't need you or the store clerk to endorse her. She has billions and is a highly accomplished woman. No one in your entire blood line can compare !

Say it again, Melissa; perhaps three times is the charm.
