Notice that she defended him on Larry King when people were accusing him of emellishing and lying about his drug use arrests but when Hazelden and the treatment industry start complaining that he lied and exaggerated about them, THEN she's all apologetic and does her live little tapdance on TV yesterday.

Ya just couldn't write satire this good. I'm just laughin' my ass off. Oprah got just what she wanted, a mindless mob of brainwashed sycophants ready to shell out cash, divorce their spouses, ship their kids of to toughlove hategroup gulags cause she says so.
So, now comes James Frey (why do they pronounce it fry?), the perfect little protege for her encounter group cult. Did just what she trained and groomed him to do, just like all of her other poster children for this or that; gave a good performance, furthered the agenda. And now Oprah's unhappy! She feels angry and embarrassed and betrayed, betrayed!! Oh, how could ya do it, James? We were all so fucking nice to you! You horrible, ungrateful, manipulative little junkie you!!

"If you do what the [Alcoholics Anonymous 'Big Book'] says, you will be cured. If you follow their righteous path, that path will lead you straight to redemption. If you join the club, you're the lucky winner of a lifelong supply of bullshit Meetings full of whining, complaining and blaming...
Near the end [of the 'Big Book'], there is a section of testimonials... As with most testimonials like this that I've read or heard or been forced to endure, something about them strikes me as weak, hollow and empty. Though the people in them are no longer drinking and doing drugs, they're still living with the obsession. Though they have achieved sobriety, their lives are based on the avoidance, discussion and vilification of the chemicals they once needed and loved. Though they function as human beings, they function because of their Meetings and their Dogma and their God. Take away their Meetings and their Dogma and they have nothing. Take them away and they are back where they started. They have an addiction."
