Randi's going a bit overboard about Oprah...

I love Randi, but I doubt her audience is going to look closer at Bush's statements because James Frey wrote a fradulent memoir.

1. Do you realize how many people watch Orpah and live by

her morals and actions?

I think Randi's making a pretty powerful statement.

2. I think it's great

It might be a little thing, but by pointing out the lies in his book, she's saying that she doesn't accept the current trend to make up/spin/twist the truth. She focused on Frey, but I think she also mentioned the fake claims of WMDs in Iraq. It's all about the war against truthiness.

3. I was pretty pissed off with her when she gave Arnold

airtime when he was running for governor of CA. She is very powerful and I believe that had a lot to do with him getting votes from people who would have probably voted for some else.

Although, I know Oprah doesn't care for politics that much, I hope from now on she is more careful about whom she endorses whether in her book club or politically.
