We’re desperately in need of a palate cleanser. Annnnnnnd this ought to do it.
I really need to start taping this show.

This is surreal. Of course the woman is right. What the hell is wrong with Phil and the others? I’m perfectly serious. I mean, I’m sorry the child has a handicap, but the point is the pain of the parents vs. the pain of the wronged woman–serves ‘em right.
Alex K on November 13, 2007 at 7:53 PM
He was a jerk but there wasn’t a ring on his finger. She’s a bigger jerk.
baldilocks on November 13, 2007 at 7:53 PM
Dude, you tape Dr. Phil.
Aight, in this case it paid off but… really?
John from OPFOR on November 13, 2007 at 7:53 PM
It’s reaaal! It’s not staaaged! They’e not actooors!
…i’m thinking of a word that rhymes with steak
SilverStar830 on November 13, 2007 at 7:53 PM
I haven’t watched this clip yet, but I have seen part of these episodes (DISCLAIMER: I’ve never watched the Dr. Phil show until my mom told me about this bit), and it’s clear they brought this moron girl in as a ringer. She’s supposed to be the “ignorant judgmental Christian”. Admittedly, she’s not singled out as being the only judgmental one, because that’s what the entire premise is about – different judgmental people… What’s obnoxious is the fact that folks are left with the impression that “this is how Christians are”.
Exit Question: For anyone who’s followed this, even just a little – Do you think she’s an actor? She seem to be to me. She’s a nutcase. She says she doesn’t swear, yet they catch her dropping “the F word” on tape repeatedly, etc. etc. (Note: I don’t have a problem with swearing, and I think it’s retarded when people act as if it’s somehow a sin)
RightWinged on November 13, 2007 at 7:54 PM
Do not!
Allahpundit on November 13, 2007 at 7:54 PM
That’s…. terrible.
ZRyan on November 13, 2007 at 7:54 PM
Best Week Ever is good, but I prefer The Soup for this kinda stuff…
Ugh…I don’t know what it is, but Dr. Phil just makes my stomach gurgle.
JetBoy on November 13, 2007 at 7:55 PM
baldilocks on November 13, 2007 at 7:53 PM
Precisely why he should not have dropped his drawers with either of them.
boomer on November 13, 2007 at 7:56 PM
Lyah!
Bad Candy on November 13, 2007 at 7:56 PM
Okay, I watched the clip now, and see it doesn’t delve in to what I’m talking about… but my points stand. They have her, as with all the others, from the episode before they entered the house doing their monologue about why they hate everyone else. This girl doesn’t know a single Bible verse, yet she’s carrying her Bible around in the clip showing her shouting stupid crap like “you’ll go to hell if you get tattoos”, etc. etc. She’s a moron, and I maintain that it’s more likely than not, that she’s an actor.
RightWinged on November 13, 2007 at 7:57 PM
I KNEW Democrats were more likely to be unfaithful!
GoodBoy on November 13, 2007 at 7:59 PM
Hey it ain’t like you’re gonna hurt the tards feelings.
She is just feeling schadenfreude. it is normal.
But like disrespecting any underclass today the PC nazis are
ready to pounce on the slightest infraction.
Dr. Phil is a goober.
TheSitRep on November 13, 2007 at 8:00 PM
I know we need a palate cleanser. So why does mine taste like dog feces after that?
conservnut on November 13, 2007 at 8:03 PM
AP,
Do you still tape on VHS or do you mean record on your DVR?
Best Week Ever is hilarious but it does gets too raunchy sometimes, which makes me not watch it too often.
terryannonline on November 13, 2007 at 8:06 PM
Guess how Allahpundit spent his vacation.
Worried about a loss of Rosie MSNBC clips, our hero finds hope in Dr. Phil clips and used up all disk space on his TiVo!
Beer and Cheeto’s for all!
Kini on November 13, 2007 at 8:06 PM
So thats what that was!
boomer on November 13, 2007 at 8:06 PM
Right, because without a ring you don’t need to be faithful. A mean seriously, that whole monogamous faithful relationship cr@p really isn’t all its cracked up to be, right? i mean if I want to bang other chicks behind my girlfriends back, that ain’t nobodies business but mine right?
doriangrey on November 13, 2007 at 8:08 PM
dude..
amend2 on November 13, 2007 at 8:15 PM
glad your back though bro.. but
amend2 on November 13, 2007 at 8:16 PM
That is just so sad, yet such a great example of where our society is going!
Pam on November 13, 2007 at 8:21 PM
Allah, it sounds like she’s single…and hurting.
Here’s your chance.
see-dubya on November 13, 2007 at 8:27 PM
Of course their actors. I mean c’mon “Dick Masterson” (the guy in the sunglasses) who runs the men are better than women site? Just a little fact checking on the good doctors part would at least raise the suspicions that his site is nothing more than a (genius) affiliate marketing scam meant to get this guy attention (from sites like Pandagon no less) and drive dozens of cretin there who spend their days bad mouthing their ex’s while clicking his ad block ad infinitum This chick will end up in Smooth magizine as in a pictorial entitled “The Stone Cold Bitch” or something.
The show itself may not be in on it, but these shows get scammed all the time. I’m thinking about calling them and claiming Huckabee’s a commie (had a post up to that effect about a week ago) act completly insane (I’ll yell McCarthy was right to every question) then watch the house frau traffic role in.
Pulll out your wallets adsense and auction ads!
Rob Taylor on November 13, 2007 at 8:29 PM
That was painful. It’s always painful to watch that kind of crap. Someone above said this is where our society is headed…if it was headed there we wouldn’t be subjected to this kind of base stupidity.
it’s no wonder I’m shedding no tears about this writer’s strike. Let’m starve.
Pilgrim on November 13, 2007 at 8:29 PM
You’re almost right. It’s nobodies business but yours and God’s.
And if you want to point out something that I didn’t add to my comment there’s no need to be snarky about it.
baldilocks on November 13, 2007 at 8:40 PM
nobodies=nobody’s
baldilocks on November 13, 2007 at 8:40 PM
You joke, but this is what’s waiting for me out there in my dating pool.
Allahpundit on November 13, 2007 at 8:48 PM
Allah, it sounds like she’s single…and hurting.
Here’s your chance.
heyhey… he’s married.. to H.A.
amend2 on November 13, 2007 at 8:49 PM
You’re better off with an iPhone on a leash.
Zorro on November 13, 2007 at 9:05 PM
She is societies direction?
Naw, creatures like this young lady have been around forever, in all sizes ,colors and genders. The magic is to avoid them graciously.
BL@KBIRD on November 13, 2007 at 9:09 PM
i would feel the exact same way as that woman. the others probably just realized they could like Caring Souls on tv.
its vintage duh on November 13, 2007 at 9:12 PM
Watching how conservative guys here go at each other and at anyone perceived to have a dissenting view (whether it really is or not), I feel Allah’s pain a bit. And the say women are overly emotional!
All my choices in real life are liberals (I live in SoCal). That’s why I have hobbies. :-)
baldilocks on November 13, 2007 at 9:13 PM
My daughter says the same thing. :)
Bob's Kid on November 13, 2007 at 9:13 PM
I am so glad to have said “I do”…I look at my neices and nephews that are dating and man o man…it just looks painful..
Pam on November 13, 2007 at 9:14 PM
“The sweetest revenge”
Yea ! ! Against the Hot Air group.
I can’t believe I watched that crap. . . 6 times.
Texyank on November 13, 2007 at 9:19 PM
Reason number 2,201 why I do not watch TV anymore.
RobCon on November 13, 2007 at 9:22 PM
If she really believes in bad karma she better get ready to give birth to the anti-Christ for saying that.
RobCon on November 13, 2007 at 9:23 PM
I have no idea who those people are, but I’m sure the shock is because the mother didn’t abort the thing. To put it out of it’s misery, of course.
pedestrian on November 13, 2007 at 9:29 PM
You’re selling yourself short. You have the intelligence and wit to captivate a great woman. I once had the problem you seem to have now for a long time but I think you’ll be fine.
aengus on November 13, 2007 at 9:33 PM
One beer for all? How about beers and cheetos?
91Veteran on November 13, 2007 at 9:39 PM
Maybe you can fix up your daughter with Allah?
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on November 13, 2007 at 9:46 PM
Uh, you still have a VCR?
HarryBalzac on November 13, 2007 at 9:48 PM
Allah…you could expand your dating pool to include Jerry Springer guests. No thanks needed here.
FishFearMe on November 13, 2007 at 9:56 PM
I don’t see what Dr. Phil is going on about. What, that she’s NOT sorry that the product of her boyfriend’s infidelity is mentally retarded? HA! Serves his dumb ass right. He made a stupid decision and must now deal with the life-altering consequences.
Everybody who’s boo-hooing her schadenfreude-istic satisfaction that the child is mentally handicapped — and will thus most likely require a LOT of parental supervision and involvement from the testicularly-directed father, who was so eager in getting his rocks off he didn’t use protection on his one-night-stand — needs to pull their car over to the side of the pretentious-holier-than-thou highway and get a grip.
This is what writers would call “poetic justice” — which is probably appropriate given the likelihood of this whole thing being scripted.
Harpazo on November 13, 2007 at 10:40 PM
Relax. It’s not that serious…not for us anyway.
baldilocks on November 13, 2007 at 10:54 PM
1. You just got back from vacation; how much palate cleansing do you need anyway?
2. While you’re at it, don’t forget to TiVo Oprah, The View, Donahue, Judge Judy, and Jerry Springer. You never know when you’re gonna miss that priceless trailer trash clip for those slow news days.
RMCS_USN on November 13, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Casting call! Casting call for next season on Dr. Phil’s house of moral midgets!
see-dubya on November 13, 2007 at 11:17 PM
HAAA! I love that chick.
Anyway, that’s what anyone in this situation would feel, then feel guilty about feeling it, and then say how terrible the whole thing is out loud, but then think “serves him/her right” anyway.
She’s being chastised by everyone who want to look all moral, but they’d feel the same way in her place.
AlexB on November 14, 2007 at 12:19 AM
Now how the heck are you going to keep your secret identity, well, secret?
You cheese her off and whammo. John “getting antrax mailed to your house” Smith will be in all the papers.

MirCat on November 14, 2007 at 12:31 AM
It’s always nice to think of a child as a curse. They come out very well adjusted if you do that.
Really.
GoodBoy on November 14, 2007 at 12:58 AM
Thanks a LOT AP. Now I’m gonna have ex-wife nightmares. Sheesh!
Mojave Mark on November 14, 2007 at 1:20 AM
I remember Dr. Phil fondly from my television-watching years. [Coming up on 8 years TV-Free.] Still love the guy, and I’ll bet he was able to give this young woman some perspective.
RushBaby on November 14, 2007 at 1:27 AM
It seems kind of odd for someone to say that they wouldn’t wish a mentally retarded baby on their worst enemy. As if it’s a fate worse than death. All of them seem to believe that mentally retarded people are something less than human. They all subscribe to the culture of death, so in a way Dr. Phil and the others who berate the ex-girlfriend are only really saying that it’s impolite for her to be so public about her feelings. They all believe, however, that the worth of the child is meaningless.
Sydney Carton on November 14, 2007 at 2:00 AM
She’s being exploited!!!
Gawd, that’s good… as MKH would say, “Heh”. Exploited.
thegreatbeast on November 14, 2007 at 4:28 AM
Exactly what I thought when I first heard the other girl say that. In fact am trying to imagine exactly how much stranger this “panel discussion” would be had the cheating girlfriend aborted the baby. “Well at least she didn’t KEEP it…” Culture of death indeed.
Disappointed in Dr. Phil. He should know better.
inviolet on November 14, 2007 at 7:26 AM
This reminds me of the comment I heard some A-Hole say to my Dad on Sunday when we left the Viking – Packer game in Green Bay.
My Dad uses a cane when he walks due to a limp from a severe motorcycle accident 20+ yrs ago. We were wearing our Viking gear and since it was Veterans Day my Dad was wearing his Vietnam Vet hat as well. As we walking back to the bus a guy in his Packer green says to my Dad “Too bad you didn’t lose your whole leg.” Can you friggin believe it? I looked at the guy and he & his three buddies all thought it was funny comment. It was the first time ever I told my Dad to meet me at the cop shop because I was ready to split that guy’s face wide open. You can talk crap about the team I cheer for but to make this kind of comment is unbelievable.
This comment coupled with the cheering I heard as Adrian Peterson rolled on the ground in pain just reinforce my already low opinion of a lot of Green Bay fans.
VikingGoneWild on November 14, 2007 at 8:29 AM
I don’t see a whole lot wrong with what she said either. Yea, it sucks for the mom, the baby, but as far as for the boyfriend, oh well.
Jared_MA on November 14, 2007 at 8:37 AM
The sickening part is, as others have said, that having a child with disabilities is not a curse. Of course, in a society that is obsessed with perfection, the reaction is how terrible the mother’s pain must be to have to “deal” with a “retard”.
Uh, it’s not “PC Nazi” to defend people (or tards as you prefer) who are disabled. The fact that you classify people with mental disabilities as “underclass” is telling.
SouthernDem on November 14, 2007 at 9:15 AM
That’s what I and my girlfriend have always lived by, but the only one other couple that we know has followed that. Everyone else changes the rules when things get hard.
MadisonConservative on November 14, 2007 at 9:41 AM
The Soup is awesome. They do a great job of showcasing just how stupid celebrities are. The Tyra clips being example number one.
BadgerHawk on November 14, 2007 at 10:16 AM
I just can’t work up any umbrage over some petty stupid woman on Dr. Phil. I wouldn’t want to know her, but she hasn’t actually done anything remarkable. It reminds of how some people get really bent out of shape when Howard Stern prays for his enemies to get cancer or AIDS, as though he really has the power to give anyone cancer or AIDS.
They’re all taking her so seriously on Dr. Phil, and it’s dopey. There are a lot of morally cretinous people in the world, but that horse is already out of the barn thanks to the Left and the Baby Boomer generation. Dr. Phil’s too late.
Kensington on November 14, 2007 at 11:16 AM
DorianGrey saw fit to get obnoxious and self-righteous with me because I chose not to flaunt/brag about my “righteousness” in following Christian rules while commenting on this subject while projecting it onto others and because I “failed” to heap sufficient amounts of verbal condemnation on them. I submit that neither is my job.
Following the rules is good but it won’t get us into Heaven and following the rules doesn’t make any of us righteous as you probably know and we can’t follow them perfectly anyway (and I’m not saying that you were behaving in self-righteous manner). So I see no point in announcing to others about how well I follow those rules. I’d prefer to pray for all four of these people.
baldilocks on November 14, 2007 at 11:29 AM
You mistake me. I hold no one responsible for following any set of rules, except for the ones they choose at the beginning of the game. If they change them before the game is over, I lose respect. Monogamists who suddenly try to justify polygamy bug me. Polygamists who suddenly demand monogamy bug me. Integrity is the only rule I see as something I hold people to.
Personally, I have no belief on the afterlife, but whatever it is, I’m confident that doing what you feel is right is the key to life. Staying true to your principles is the essence of it.
And for what it’s worth, I don’t know what Dr. Phil and all the idiots were moaning about. The circumstances made my damn day, and I know my girlfriend will laugh considerably when she hears of it.
MadisonConservative on November 14, 2007 at 11:37 AM
She was an actress? Dang next I’ll find out Jerry Springer’s guest aren’t real either.
SPIFF1669 on November 14, 2007 at 12:42 PM
All this stuff bugs me as well, as I’ve actually experienced infidelity in a legally and religiously legitimate marriage. But if one is playing house, one shouldn’t be surprised to find out that of the participants is just playin’.
Got it.
baldilocks on November 14, 2007 at 12:49 PM
Everyone on that panel was an idiot. Having a child with mental retardation is not a curse and the mother does not live with “that pain everyday.” I have a son with Down syndrome and found myself laughing and wincing at their collective stupidity. You might think that if I didn’t laugh, I’d cry. No, if I didn’t laugh, I’d probably have to slap them all till they bled (Dr. Phill included).
