Default Oprah Made To Look Like Idiot Again

She endorsed a book by a guy named Herman Rosenblat about the Holocaust that turned out to be another hoax.

Oprah hoax is no Angel at the Gate

Default Should Have Known

There's no excuses on this one, either. I mean, really, how gullible is she?

Apparently, this guy claims that when he was in a Nazi concentration camp (which was true), that he fell in love with this woman who would sneak him food through the fence. Ten years later, the two met on a blind date in New York City, and have been married ever since.

Someone pointed out the common sense notion that no woman would get close enough to sneak food to a prisoner, because the Nazi guards would have shot her down with machine-gun fire. Tsk, tsk, Oprah.

Oprah obviously needs to read my new book, "How to Properly Guard a Concentration Camp." Maybe it'll become one of her selected books.

Anything that makes her look like an idiot is ok in my book. She seems borderline evil to me.

The sad thing is that none of her producers checked any of this out before hand. If you have a celebrity talk show, how much does Oprah actually get to research herself? Probably just takes everyone's word for it.

I imagine you're right. Besides, she's too busy personally hiding free stuff under the studio seats.

Yeah, you're right. She's a billionaire. I imagine her time is spent fiddling with "the big picture" and someone's very job is researching this kind of stuff. I wonder if heads roll at Oprahland when this stuff happens?
