What? Dr. Phil is an opportunist?
Get the fuck outta here!
Turns out that the Spears family believes that Dr. Foghorn Leghorn violated their trust.
Quite frankly, I would have been more worried about who was violating my daughters. But hey, to each their own. Joking aside, I do believe that Dr. Phil committed a serious couple of serious ethical breaches here, both by publically discussing his advisement of Spears and by attempting to turn her pathetic situation into a show after he had become personally involved. We all know that the media is a circus and that Britney has the spotlight, but Dr. Phil is sinking pretty low to shove her into his personal Gabba-Gabba section for the sake of a ratings spike.
I will give him one bit of credit: he’s never recommended the lynching of Tiger Woods. That’s gotta count for something.

Actually, his first piece of advice (upon bursting into her hospital room) was, “what you’ve gotta do is LYNCH. TIGER. WOODS!”

I think it would be more entertaining if the REAL Foghorn Leghorn helped her out:
“I say, I say, I say, Britney! Look here, boy! Don’t you know that you’ve got it all wrong there! Now look here, boy, and stop fiddlin’ with them diagrams there! What you got to do there is get your self a nice bottle of sody pop and stop messing with that sassparilla!”
Whispers aside: “That boy’s got an elevator that don’t quite go to the top floor, if you know what I mean.”
