In the careless shorthand of Washington correspondents, the Clinton administration’s Ohio fiasco was supposed to be an “Oprah-style” town meeting. If only. Had Oprah, rather than Madeleine Albright, gone out to endorse bombing Iraq, Saddam would now be in the same enfeebled state as those Texas cattle barons: Within days, polls would have shown 98 percent support for saturation bombing; the self-help guide How to Make Your Own Smart Bomb would have reached the top of the best-seller lists; the new CD by Oprah’s musical guest, Kenny G. Plays His Weapon of Mass Destruction, would have gone platinum; luxuriantly mustachioed men would be lining up to have their Saddamite growths pruned back to something closer to the trim upper lip of Oprah’s beau, Stedman Graham. Conversely, if Madeleine, rather than Oprah, had gone on TV and announced that, because of mad-cow disease, she would never eat another burger, the world would have shrugged and gone back to its Double Whopper with cheese, and there would have been no trial in Amarillo.
