Oprah To Hillary: "I Hope You Do Us A Privilege And Run For Office. ... President Of The United States"....
Now, many supporters of Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton are hoping that such a thing is a possibility, and that may include none other than Oprah Winfrey. Now, to make sense of this all, here's our senior political analyst, Bill Schneider.
What a story, Bill.
BILL SCHNEIDER, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: It is indeed. Well, Ali, to paraphrase something David Letterman once said when he hosted the Academy Awards, Oprah, Hillary, Hillary, Oprah.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
SCHNEIDER (voice-over): Senator Hillary Clinton and TV host Oprah Winfrey. According to the Gallup poll, they are the two most admired women in America. They had a very interesting and possibly politically significant encounter at the International Emmy Award ceremony Monday evening.
OPRAH WINFREY, TALK SHOW HOST: Thank you. I hope you do us a privilege and run for office. Thank you...
(APPLAUSE)
... president of the United States.
