Bush and Dr.Phil teaming up?
Is Bush going on Dr. Phil? Paul Begala mentioned this in the first few minutes of Crossfire. Caught the tail end of it, so not sure what the hell he is talking about. Anybody heard this yet?

1. Is Dr. Phil going to help him...
...overcome his depression and impotence due to his overwhelming feelings of insecurity and pent up anger at his mother?

3. I like Dr Phil.....BUT
I remember when the war first started he did a program about the war and his message was 'if you were opposed to the war - its time to shut up' - I couldn't even watch the entire program. Definitely don't like his politics.

4. Let me tell you something about this show people
I have very strong feelings about mental health clinicians promoting themselves and the treatment of very fragile families or individuals on a media, prime time outlet. I think it is irresponsible and unethical. The fact that these people give him permission and that he makes himself out to be the equivalent of a mental ghandi is irrelevant. HE IS MAKING MONEY, A LOT OF MONEY, BY SHOWCASING THE DYSFUNCTIONAL HABITS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING ON A MASSIVE MEDIA BASED MEDIUM!!!

It is wrong and it should be stopped. And BTW, as a clinician myself, successful thank you, he is not so wonderful. The same answers and a great relationship can be found amoong any credible therapist. This guy ceased to be credible when he placed whatever "theme" he has in mind for the guests he casts on the show. Oh I know he sounds great and what a smart nice guy but what he is doing is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Ok--I'll reload later. Don't try to get your therapy off the TV. Its bad news and will fuck you up.
