Now the cynic in me wants to throw out some possible reasons for the Queen of daytime's decision to bring author James Frey back on her show (much needed publicity for new network, guilt, way to bring back viewers who turned away at her coldness) but I will not dwell on these doubts.
I will simply say kudos to Oprah from bringing Frey back, for admitting (in Oprah fashion) her past mistakes with him and for admitting her public lashing of him was ego driven. Although most of us saw it right away, it took Oprah about 5 years (timed perfectly to coincide with her last shows), but I digress, this is a kudos post... ;)
Special kudos to Frey who although admitted his mistakes, again and again in fact, did not succumb to the great ones attempts to get him to cry or to give more than he wanted to as far as explanation. Kudos to them both!

I am going to pass out! Just kidding, Tye. The most revealing part of the interview was that Oprah had no idea that he did not know he was going to be ganged up on by all of the other guests during the interrogation episode 5 years ago.
kudos to you for your post, albeit so trendy so called reality and talk show are so trashy, yes we need to talk but no we don't need to do it in front of eveyone. Maybe the fact that a (still for how long?)majority of people in the USA are wasp, and though protestant with a penchant for public apologies is a reason for that not-so-sane attitude, Thanks, Roberto, sorry I am french-italian so my pt of view is different from american, although I definitely like USA:)
