uh oh... what happened here...

On your sig line

I won't fail to miss it, thanks.

Without the happy ending.

They don't vote Republican, anyways....

all of them... :puke:

Jingle Bells the other day so I would guess he didn't know these words either.

That last pic looks like he got a lump of coal in his stocking.

GOOBER Bush**

god what a turd

Wow, that's pretty bad....

He has always impressed me as a slick opportunist with nothing to offer but regurgitated rhetoric.

I used to actually kind of like him.

I don't like him anymore though. It just got old and boring and you do get kinda eh vibes from him.

practicing "tough love" with emotional cripples for fun and profit. In any event I am neither surprised or impressed to see him rubbing elbows with *.

her! Can't have middle age catching up with our First Woman, can we?

Not too long after Dr. Phil took to the airwaves on his own he invited Sally Smith, editor of BBW magazine, and Maryanne Bodolay, executive administrator of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance to appear as guests on his show. The two women, who are counted as experts in the field of size acceptance, were asked to join in a discussion of discrimination against people of size.

What actually happened when they arrived in Los Angeles was a little bit different.

The producers of the show, along with Dr. Phil, thought it would be cool to send Smith and Bodolay to Las Vegas with a hidden camera crew. The idea was to capture footage of people being cruel to two fat women. Smith and Bodolay, both veterans in the size acceptance movement, tried to convince the Dr. Phil folks of the futility of this expedition. Those of us who know anything about the movement know that most BBW, Fat Acceptance, and Size Support gatherings and conventions take place in... you guessed it... Las Vegas. The city has a long history of warmth with the People of Size community.

Sure enough, all attempts to find ridicule in the city of sin failed. Not to be deterred, the camera crew gave it a second shot in Los Angeles, where everyone hates fat people. The two women were sent into a trendy restaurant, where they were seated near skinny guests, who were belligerently polite, spoiling yet another night of hidden camera work. Well, when you can't get the possum to play dead, kill it. They paid one bystander to make rude comments.

The show was taped. Smith and Bodolay were introduced by first names only, with absolutely no mention of their credentials, professional achievements, or positions within the Size Acceptance movement. The taping was edited creatively, strung out into two shows, and was met with outrage by those involved with the activist community. Sally Smith wrote an article in the spring of 2003 detailing the debacle of Dr. Phil's dirty little plot.

appropriate cliché: birds of a feather...

Ugh. So why did Oprah give him his own show and all that?

Seriously, would you buy a used anything from this rude, ugly man? And don't forget that Oprah also loves Arnuld.

doesn't look to me like he is much into the spirit of things in this pix.

and surprisingly, i'm not referring to bush this time. dr. phil just seems sooooo full of himself, i can't stand that pompous ass. i have no clue where he lies along the pollitical spectrum, but i'm guessing that i wouldn't agree with it.
