Oprah Winfrey's White House lawsuit
Sep 18, 2006, 14:29 GMT
Oprah Winfrey has filed a lawsuit against a man trying to get her to run for the American Presidency.
Lawyers for the talk show host have ordered Patrick Crowe to stop selling his book - 'Oprah for President: Run Oprah Run' - and to stop using a website containing her name and a toll-free number that's last five digits spell out 'Oprah'.
They claim the publication and website cause "damage and irreparable injury" to her production company, Harpo.
The bemused businessman from Kansas City - who is behind a long-running campaign to get the media mogul into the Oval Office - told America's New York Post newspaper: "I'm genuinely puzzled. If Oprah asked you to run for president, would that be a compliment or would you threaten her with legal action?"
He added: "How could asking her to run possibly cause her damage and irreparable injury?"
