I thought Oprah and Maya were BFF or something. Wonder if that is awkward at all...

her qualifications for the presidency are being a daughter, wife, and mother? my girl? my GIRL?!

if someone said these same things about a guy [with appropriately gendered nouns, of course] they would be laughed off the stage.

I used to sleep for five years with a branch librarian, who eventually ran her own branch.

As a result, I am now qualified and experienced as a librarian.

What? You question my credentials in librarian skills?

(chuckle)

See, I can read My Pet Goat the right way up!

Maya Angelou is as close to royalty this country is likely ever to get, and if she announces "Hillary's my girl" then the king is not dead. It's clear she's not skipping down the wind-free path. And if George H. W. Bush didn't say "Dan Quayle's my boy" - his intent was clear. What should Maya have said, Brandon: "Hill, you is my woman" ???????

47% of SC Democratic primary voters are black (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18333490/). But don't let a few facts get in the way of the HRC bashing.
