Will Oprah Give Our President the James Frey Treatment?
By Mendy Finkel
Back
in 2006, Oprah Winfrey admitted to feeling embarrassed after learning
that James Frey, whose memoir she had praised and promoted, fabricated
many of his life stories. And as we would expect from a woman who rose
from poverty to build a powerful media empire, Oprah did not take this
sitting down. She invited Frey back on her show to confront him
face-to-face.
The interview, for anyone who missed it, was not for the faint of heart. Throughout the interview, Oprah supplied a healthy serving of indignation and anger to a hapless Mr. Frey. In describing the interview, TIME magazine noted that a "public flogging" would have been civil in comparison. Indeed, Oprah told Frey that her feelings of disgust towards him were so strong that it was "difficult for her to talk to [him]."

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
UNLIKELY. My dad called black people shines...AND THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER! RACIST THUGS!
