'Dr. Phil' Chastises Letterman's Deriding of Palin's Bad Parenting

Guest “Dr. Phil” on Wednesday night chastised David Letterman's misunderstanding of teenage sexual behavior and parental influence after Letterman sarcastically complained that if a President McCain “drops dead...don't you want your President to have had the presence of mind to have chatted to her teenaged kids for five minutes about birth control?” (Letterman delivered the same belittling joke the night before too.)

Referring to Letterman's almost five-year-old son, daytime TV host Phil McGraw, aka “Dr. Phil,” informed Letterman:

Let me tell you something, new dad. If you are under the misapprehension that when Harry is 17 that you are going to have even a remote influence on what he decides in the back seat of a Chevy on a Saturday night -- I don't think old Dave's going to be popping in his mind at that point. It's not a 15-minute conversation. It's a dialogue that you need to have starting when he's about eight or nine.

KR recently did an interview and stated that entertainers should stick to entertaining and stay out of politics.

This a$$ fathered a child out of wedlock. He has never married the mother of his child.

Suddenly he’s an expert on parenting?

Where is the joke in assuming Mom Palin didn’t have ‘the talk’ with her teenaged daughter and that there was no birth control used? Who is to say there wasn’t... it’s not 100% effective. Was Dave there to know?

Dave is an ass

If you are up at late night watching Letterman, you must not have a job with much responsibility in the morning.

...Or maybe you live in the Central Time Zone so it comes on at 10:35 PM, and you happen to lead a very full and active life with 3 children, a wonderful job, along with working towards getting your MBA, and you happen to like plopping down on the couch for a few minutes to enjoy some lighthearted moments at the end of a long day while snuggling with your wife, before heading off to bed and waking up before 6 AM.

You know, one or the other... ;-)

(Although, personally, I'm not a huge fan of either Leno or Letterman. Conan is the one who really gets my wife and I laughing.)

"I really used to think he was funny when I was younger,. . ."

Yeah, you grew up.

Letteran is an old man with hair plugs in his head, and he is not even married. What a joke!

Back when he was funny. The Larry “Bud” Melman segments were priceless, too.
