Technorati Tag
People are more concerned with proving Oprah was duped (was wrong) and gloating, almost celebrating over it rather than being outraged and annoyed that James Frey and his publishers sold snake oil as the new "make it all better" ointment (so to speak). Reminds me of the book Beloved, the portion which describes a celebration of sorts, when the neighborhood folks are invited to Baby Sugg's to eat good food, drink, dance and enjoy themselves. The following day, those neighborhood folks, awakened to outrage and jealousy over what they consider an overabundance of blessings bestowed upon Baby Sugg's (even though she is willing to share). There are jealous hateful people who despise Oprah's success and philanthropy and this Frey mess seems to have given them cause and ammunition for strange inappropriate glee.
