Yes, it's now official: Yesterday's interview between Barbara Walters and Oprah is the Gift that Keeps On Giving.

As soon as I find the video of that unintentionally hilarious exchange between the two over who was a mistress and who wasn't, I will post (if you can't wait, go to Huffpo right now, which has it up.)

Meanwhile, as you see a couple posts below, I charted all the fibs, white lies, stretches, malefactions and other assorted whoppers that Babs dished on "O" yesterday, and I'm certain there were many more (which just calls into question, what can we actually believe in her just released memoir? Just asking.)

Anyway, she has now been caught red-handed -- by ME! Yesterday, she told Oprah how she knew Ro was trouble from the git-go, and how Ro never wanted to "ride the bus but drive the bus ..." Of course, everyone knew that -- but then why did Babs say right after Ro was reprimanded for saying Trumpster had gone bankrupt (he hadn't) that the hiring of Ro was such a great success?

Just to show you how Babs has been shifting her story on this subject. (You can argue, perhaps, that I'm just being mean here, and that Babs was being protective to the still employed Ro, but I'm still intrigued about just how "protean" her recollections on this subject have been.) I've posted this on-air correction that aired on "The View" in early January '07. Now, excuse me while I head over to Rosie's Web site to see what she's got to say about all this ...
