I have never really understood why people were so crazy about Oprah in the first place. Same people who watched Jerry Springer maybe.
She has really lost it recently though. She seems to be seeing every incident through race-tinted glasses, like Sharpton et al. There was that incident at the expensive handbag store in Nice or some such place, where she first claimed she was told she couldn't look at a bag becuase she couldn't afford it. Later it turned out she had basically made the entire thing up. In her mind I suppose that was ok, because it could have happened that way, even though it didn't.
It's ironic and instructive. If there are two people in the country who have benefitted the most from white america's habit of bending over backwards to accommodate blacks, it is Oprah and Obama. Yet both play the race card at every opportunity and seem to be sincere, at least in Oprah's case.
