Too good a story to let truth get in the way.

CALL HER AMBASSADOR OPRAH

Oprah Winfrey is being talked about as a possible US ambassador to Great Britain in an Obama administration.

The scenario was suggested yesterday in an item in the London Times that quoted "well-placed sources" as saying her name has been "floated" for the prestigious post, considered the top rung of all State Department ambassadorships.

A spokeswoman at Oprah's Harpo Studios in Chicago downplayed the story. "Oprah hasn't been approached," the spokeswoman said.

The appointment would be seen as a reward for Winfrey's enthusiastic endorsement of Obama's candidacy for president. She made the endorsement official last December, the first time she has ever publicly backed a candidate.

There is no word on whether Winfrey herself is actively seeking the ambassadorship, which would have her presenting her diplomatic credentials directly to Queen Elizabeth, or what would happen to Winfrey's daytime talk show and other TV production activities if she were to take the job.
