Like I said, I have no quarrel with Winfrey's do-gooder work for some of her causes but she, and her literary pals, are not the great intellectuals and artists that theyâ??re cracked up to be.

It's only my opinion.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Longtime admirer of Fidel Castro and Mumia Abu Jamal
Thinks the key to defeating Osama bin Laden is "love"
