156k in charges after racking up 175K a few years earlier.

The man is sure taking advantage of Oprah’s poor dumb momma.

yes, Oprah makes about $110M anually, and is worth a lot more. But that doesn’t mean she’s supporting Mom.

She forgot to mention that she’s Black. Or was that what she would say if they DIDN’T extend her the credit her daughter probably cosigned for?

Great post! There is just too much in this story that is wrong and explains why we are about to “rescue” the economy.

She’ll be applying for bailout aid.

After all, the devil made her buy all that stuff.

Yeah, ACORN probably should get involved on this poor, downtrodden minority’s behalf. One would think that Oprah, being one of the richest people in the US, should be able to pay her mother’s bills.

Two thoughts here:
1) Has orpha learned that bailing mom out just leads to a larger bailout later on?, and
2) Wouldn’t it be better to apply the attorney fees to the bill down at the shoe & underwear shop?

I understand that, but $155k to harpo would be like 50 cents to us. I would be happy to help my mom out with 50 cents if it would help her.

"Capacity?" Or "displacement?"
