James Wolcott on Dr. Phil's MTP appearance today....

"I'm not sure what which was worse, Dr. Phil's thimble-deep patriarchal profundities or the sage nods with which they were received by Untiny Tim. The only thing missing was a thought balloon over Russert's head that said, "White healer speak many truths."

W. updates his blog constantly, even during holiday. And he always cracks me up. www.jameswolcott.com

2. What's Dr. Phil doing on MTV? I didn't know he could sing.

Or does he just diddle with some "instrument"?

3. My mom told me about that

She actually likes Dr. Phil. :eyes:

4. recently on dr phill's show

i have no cable or nothing but one channel comes in snowy like- for watching 'sopranos'! ...anyway dr phill had on families of soldiers, christmas theme...it's hard to believe that it was for real; the bland goody two shoes falsity (one woman with husband in iraq supposedly had no money for 'christmas tree') and all the earnest milk fed sincerity as they ignore that EVERYTHING that's happened has been on behalf of their hero bush (somehow, you know the studio audience are pro bush ie they certainly not 'mad as hell, we're not gonna take anymore!' at bush)
so much of television says that bush is the perfect 'leader' of the USA :( :(

5. And again, I regret once challenging Wolcott to a fight

Hey, I was defending Truman Capote's honor :)

Wolcott IS a hilarious and peceptive writer
