Dr. Phil Opines On Spitzer Scandal, No One Cares
Here's a clip of Dr. Phil giving his opinion on the Eliot Spitzer debacle.
I'm surprised he hasn't already planned his next TV special around this, wherein he and Robin dash to New York to offer the Spitzers marriage counseling - with, of course, a stop in Washington for Dr. Phil to do some "field research" at the Emperor's Club while he's in the neighborhood. I can just hear him now: "It's for business, Robin! Just business!"
I don't like Dr. Phil, in case you can't tell - and I really don't get why other people love the pompous, judgmental blowhard so much. He's got all of Middle America brainwashed into thinking he's their personal psychologist. I once told someone I never watched his show because I couldn't stand him and she said, "What?? You can't just say something like that without explaining yourself!" It was like I had just spat on Mother Teresa's habit. I mean she was outraged and took it as a personal offense.
So look, Phil. I know you have to keep up the book sales and advertising contracts and crap, but try to take a lesson from poking your nose into Britney's business. Most of us don't care about your opinion, and most of us - nay, I'd say all of us - resent unsolicited advice and/or analysis, especially when it's the result of public humiliation. Please, even if it means 0.000001% less publicity for you, do the Spitzers, who have enough going on as it is, a favor and shut up about their lives.
In fact, do us ALL a favor and just shut up, period.
