Oprah Winfrey sues man

Oprah Winfrey has ended speculation she's vying to be president by slamming the reports as "damaging," reports Sfgate.com

The talk show queen had been tipped to be America's first female leader, and even inspired Kansas City businessman Patrick Crowe to write a book backing her bid, called "Oprah for President: Run Oprah Run."

Now, 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?"
