Even Fox News' Dr. Keith Ablow Thinks the Duggars Blew It

[pokerfan]

Fox News’ in-house Freudian unicyclist couldn’t find anything redeeming in the Duggar parents’ interview with Megyn Kelly last night about their son Josh’s molestation charges.

Calling the pair “locked in denial,” Ablow argued the Duggars did not understand the medical definition of pedophilia and lacked the ability to judge the extent of their son’s actions.

“This family in my opinion isn’t very much keyed in to empathy and the feelings of others,” Ablow said.

5. When you've lost Ablow, you've really lost

Ablow's greatest hits are well documented on Wikipedia:

Newt's three marriages make him more qualified to be president.

The First Lady needs to drop a few pounds.

Time to force all nations into a reflection of the U.S. government.

Men should be able to veto women's abortions.

But he's right on the Duggars. Blind squirrel yadda yadda....

That was a Fox News production all the way.

7. I sense a schism in the dark side

I'm seeing it over in freeperville too. So many people defending the Duggars just because of their religion and politics.

9. And getting into screaming fits with the somewhat sane Freekers.

It's fun to watch those idiots fight among themselves.

8. Being seen as supporting the Duggars would cost Murdoch money, so off they go...

11. Lack of empathy is typical of these nutcase versions of religion...

Speaking from the experience of my own family, whom I now call "Dugger-lite," the message during my nephew's wedding was that
"we are different from the 'culture'" and "women are supposed to defer to men." This was complete with the groom's brother (who later was involved in a drug case) reading a LONG passage from the Bible to seal the deal about women's subservience.

Over the last 30 years, after my sister-in-law returned from "therapy" down in Virginia (probably the Falwell crowd, didn't know it at the time) she and my brother have raised 4 boys who LIE, can't look you in the eye, patronize us, and are basically brainwashed IDIOTS.

However, they are now out of my mother's well as well as mine, since we are not a member of their little cult.

UGH

12. The In Touch rebuttal is pretty good.

Also, did anyone else hear her blame the "lesbian agenda" for the story breaking?
