Transcript Of A Conversation With Two Coworkers, Sparked By A Reference To James Frey

First Coworker (reading from a press release): "The Man Who Conned Oprah."
Me: Well, that's what she gets for picking bad books and contributing to the dumbing-down of America.
Second Coworker: She's not dumbing down America.
Me: She's certainly not smarting up America. She's dragging it all down. (Pause) Oprah is the talk-show equivalent of Toby Keith.
