Dr. Drew Versus Dr. Phil: Oh, It's On; It's On Like Gray Poupon!



That "Dr. Phil" is -- besides being a fatuous gasbag -- naught else but simple shit is conventional wisdom (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment). But now a real Doctor, namely, CBS Radio's hard-working and lovable Dr. Drew Pinsky is calling Phil out on his Southwestern-styled horse puckey. According to the salmon-colored weekly:

"On Wednesday, May 16, over a thousand people, many of them scantily clad women, braved pouring rain to attend Maxim magazine’s eighth annual “Hot 100” party at the Hotel Gansevoort in the meatpacking district.

"Apparently, Lindsay Lohan, Rebecca Romijn and Avril Lavigne were all in the crowd—but somehow a babe-bleary Transom found itself homing in on Dr. Drew Pinsky, best known as Dr. Drew, co-host with Adam Carolla of the popular call-in show Love Line.

"'I’m kind of surprised by the amount of alcohol,' said the good doctor. 'I’m from L.A., so I’m not used to this. But that’s the first thing that jumps out at me—everybody’s loaded. Poor Lindsay just got out of treatment, didn’t she?'

"... On the way out, The Transom ran into Dr. Drew again, and accidentally called him Dr. Phil, causing visible irritation. 'He’s not a physician—he had a psychology degree but never really practiced,' Dr. Pinsky said, who was also considerably thinner and hipper-looking than Oprah’s mustachioed protégé, in black blazer and gray jeans. 'The term ‘doctor’ has been so abused lately! I didn’t live in a hospital for 10 years so that term could be bastardized.'"
