The Francin' of the Oprah

You know, I don't always get let into stores after hours, either, and I'm white enough to suit Robert Byrd. Of course, I'm just a disreputable-looking wage slave, and even the local Stop-n-Rob store has its standards. But when Oprah Winfrey is expected to adhere to a store's shopping hours, that's a racial incident.

"People were in the store and they were shopping. Oprah was at the door and she was not allowed into the store," Winfrey's friend Gayle King told US show Entertainment Tonight.

Apparently, heads haven't rolled at Hermes, which is snooty enough to turn away anybody they want to with impunity. I'll bet there were some eyes rolling, though.

A/T to my LaBW.
