James Frey on Oprah: Live-Blogging the Live Feed

http://www.gawker.com/news/james-frey/james-frey-on-oprah-liveblogging-the-live-feed-150872.php

So James Frey is appearing on Oprah this afternoon, but we’re lucky to have an honest-to-God sneak preview for you (the show is taping live, right now, in Chicago). We’ll keep updating this post as the show progresses.

Oprah opens the show by saying she’s sorry; she also apologizes for calling Larry King to defend Frey. And then the kicker: Oprah says to Frey, “You betrayed millions of readers.” Remember how we said Oprah had totally saved Frey’s ass? Yeah, not anymore.

After commerical, Frey appears. Of the Smoking Gun report that broke this story, Frey says they “did a good job.” He admits to Oprah that he lied to her about jail. “I made a mistake,” he says.

Oprah’s not satisfied and keeps pushing. Frey admits that Lilly didn’t hang herself; claims that in reality she cut her wrist. “Why did you have to lie about that?” responds Oprah.

...so my question is "How long will FreyGate take to run its course?"

Days? Weeks? Months? Years?

Because I'm sick of it already. He's a scumbag, he got caught, and the only thing he seems to regret is GETTING caught.

Time to move on. If Oprah's looking for a greater degree of repentance and remorse than Frey's already shown, she's gonna have a L-O-N-G wait.

a huge news thing this week (aside from it wasn't bad news about shrubco of course)?

I have read none of the news items. Was his book a big bestseller or something? What? What?

It was supposedly a true story. Turns out that he made significant portions of it up. Oprah's feeling pissed and betrayed and I understand that, but what about Plame / Abramoff / Iraq / K Street / etc. etc. etc....

I wanna see it.

FIVE different videos. As the saying goes, "They made me want to PLOTZ."

I notice that "A Million Little Pieces" is still selling very well on amazon.com

Obviously, she's upset because she feels that the integrity of her book club was compromised by this incident. But it's not her book...she vented her outrage and that should be that. It's Frey's reputation that suffered...not hers.
