Oprah's revenge

The daytime queen didn't just expose the lies in James Frey's "memoir." She publicly shamed him -- and it was a little creepy.

    That was AWFUL television!

    The one thing I take issue with is the idea that "who knew Oprah was an eye for an eye kind of gal?" Are you KIDDING? Oprah has become the ueber republican! She hangs with Condi Rice, for god's sake! Who can forget THAT excellent television, when Oprah wanted to have Jennifer Aniston and Condi Rice over for one big hugfest pajama party, till Jennifer Aniston had the good sense to tell her "it's Condi or me."

    She lives in a $60 million mansion with a glorified boy toy and five dogs. I would say a mature, reasoned and balanced point of view is not a hallmark of Oprah. What IS a hallmark of Oprah is teen-aged histrionics from an aging "gal". The only thing more disconcerting than watching her stick a rod up Frey's butt was watching her flip her white-girl hairdo around as she did it---very valley girl.

    Oprah has become the ultimate mean girl.
