Last night, Twitter was buzzing over Oprah’s interview with Lance Armstrong, in which he reportedly confessed to doping. “I am so shocked,” said no one. The interview went on for 2.5 hours, but was originally to be edited down to 90 minutes. Evidently, that has changed. Oprah went on CBS’ “This Morning” earlier today.

Creepy Sarah Palin stalker, author Joe McGinniss weighs in. Like many, he calls out the crocodile tears. Hey, a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes, we suppose.
Tune in to new "FLIP ARMSTRONG" show. See "FLIP" sob in #Oprah's arms. But he'll soon testify dry-eyed against enablers. What scum he is.
