Just months after exploiting, er… helping Britney Spears in the hospital, “Doctor” Phil McGraw is trying to dig for ratings gold once again, posting bail for a Florida teenager jailed for beating another teen and posting it on the Web. Dr. Fool’s spokeswoman said in e-mail:
“We have helped guests and potential guests in the past when they need financial assistance to come on the show — assisting with clothing allowance, lost wages, accommodations, travel and necessities. In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines (re: the bail being paid). These staff members have been spoken to and our policies reiterated. In addition, we have decided not to go forward with the story as our guidelines have been compromised.”
The show’s producers were — shocker! — in the process of booking guests for a program about the case.
In related news, zoologists have identified Dr. Phil as an “Opportunistic Chicken Hawk,” a species prevalent in Hollywood.

I overheard an episode of Dr. Phil and the car dealership. It was like watching a train wreck.

just read that the show decided to can this episode. Saner minds prevailed. The little thug probably thought she would be famous by appearing on ‘Dr’ Phil’s show.

A chicken hawk is also an old slang term for pedophiles. Hmmm. If the shoe fits….

dr. phil is the puke that won’t die. I hope he gets fired and ends up sitting on his porch drinking beer, shaking his finger at the promiscuous world, muttering those down-home sayings to his golden retriever. that’s where he belongs.
