Gov. Blagojevich talked on “Good Morning America” about giving Oprah Winfrey President Obama’s Senate seat. So we asked RedEye’s Twitter followers what that would have been like, if it really had happened. Check out twitter.com/redeyechicago.

If Oprah accepted she would do that Oprah scream like when she gave out the cars … “I Am Your SENATORRRR, ILLINOIS!”

If Oprah is ever a senator, I WILL move to Australia.

Gotta wonder what’d be on Oprah’s book club reading list if the whole Senate were a part of the club.

Keys underneath all seats in the Senate … “YOU GOT A FREE CAR!!!” Illinois is redeemed.

Introduction of Senator Winfrey’s annual Favorite Things legislation best attended congressional hearing ever.
@FrankRoque
Oprah in the Senate would be like Bozo’s circus merging with Ringling Bros.
@vaughnchicago
It is way too vexing to think of Oprah in the Senate. I don’t think my mind can process that one.
