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.

    Silly OPrah

    OPrah´s flogging of Frey is about the silliest thing I have seen on American television.

    That woman is a bedlam of ambitions, a nursery of fears, a harem of fondled hatreds all to herself.

    Pity that Frey was unable to tell her a few words of truth as the lady revealed herself in her pitiful state.

    No writer ever owes the reader any other truth than what is in a well performed seduction.
