FanMAIL from loyal reader Stephanie, who happens to work for ABC News. Stephanie almost got crushed by Oprah’s bodyguard who thought she was getting too close to your Highness.

Personally, I think Oprah’s bodyguard was just trying to push up on Stephanie. :)

The side eye from Stephanie starts at the 1:55 mark (she’s wearing orange).

    I was at the Obama rally in Chicago covering it for ABC News — and was caught off guard when Oprah arrived. So I took out my little digital camera and started taping her interview. Well when I finally pushed my way through the crowd, I was standing right next to Ms. Winfrey — apparently a little too close because her security guard, after about a minute, comes up in front of me and completely blocks my view. And I spent the entire time battling him — and eventually just reached over his tall shoulders and put my camera in front of him. I thought it was over and done with until I was at O’Hare yesterday… and relived my experience through CNN.

    I gave him the mean side-eye… and no he’s not a celebrity… but I figured you would appreciate this. A little aggressiveness never hurt anyone — but clearly he wasn’t having it!! LOL

    Keep up the good work on your blog!

    P.S. That’s me in the orange if you couldn’t tell
