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.

Dave has reverted to form...that’s all.
He’s famous, therefore, he’s smart.
Putz.
Who cares what Letterman thinks. I never watch the idiot. I don’t waste my time with any liberal talking head.
I’m ashamed Letterman is from Indiana.
Bitter is as bitter does.
I have lived a Letterman free life since November 2000. My life is better for it.
Cool, ain't it?
Kinda like Mr. Clooney and Mr. Penn and Mr. Gore....
Dave gets his material (I won’t call them “jokes”) from obama by way of the DNC propaganda arm, CBS news.
It is fun to see the media figures like Dr. Phil and Letterman turn on each other over Palin.
Letterman is a bitter old eastern media elite liberal.
Who cares what he thinks or says?
Late night TV stopped being funny the day Johnny Carson retired.
Chutzpah! Has he ever married the mother of his 5 year old son?
Doing his stupid host trick - placing foot in mouth.
Hasn’t been good since Jerry Lawler put that whipping on Andy Kaufman.
Not to mention the odds of Dave even still being alive when his son is 17 is not all that good.
Letterman’s nothing but a democrat hack. I don’t recall the bastard ever being the least bit funny.
I absolutely cannot stand that man’s show. When the Olympics were on, we switched over one night (we are big Leno fans) - I disgusted. He is snide, rude, condescending and incredibly ignorant. Plus, the show is just boring.
I never really liked Lettermen but over the past 3-4 years he really had become an unhinged and bitter old man! It’s really not attractive at all! I hope cbs would consider picking Leno up as a replacement for him!
Yeah! he’s a jerk. But,,, ya gotta admit, this was funny!

Letterman was never funny to anybody but stoned college kids. I never knew anybody who liked him until some college stoner told me he and his buddies loved Letterman.
Replace Letterman with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and watch the ratings soar! I keed, I keed!
This is coming from the man that has yet to marry the mother of his child.....
OK Dave why not ask Dr. Phil about “responsible parenting” of fathering a child at age 50?
David Letterman's show is still on?
Letterman is one of countless tv no-nos at my house. Did anyone observe how the studio audience reacted to what Dr. Phil wisely said?
I caught a little bit of Leno last night. Man, he’s gone off the deep end. He used to just be a little bit Left. Last night he was in the bag for Obama. Had to turn it off after about the 4th punchline.
The only thing that was ever good about David Letterman’s show was “The World’s Most Dangerous Band”....but even Paul Shaffer isn’t that funny any more.

I could write his crap. Just be as cynical as you possibly can. That's funny for a couple of one-liners, but that's all he's got.
Now THAT my Friend was must see T.V. I detested Andy Kaufman.
But yeah I was a stoner back then.
If you are up at late night watching Letterman, you must not have a job with much responsibility in the morning.
He’s famous, therefore, he’s smart.
Yeah, and he's RICH, therefore he's a liberal.
Uh, there was also the opening monologue joke that women love Sarah Palin so much the Secret Service had to “restrain Vice President Cheney’s lesbian daughter”.
I used to watch Johnny Carson back when these shows were funny. BTW what’s happened to Letterman’s nose?
Same here. When he moved to CBS, I tried watching but it was too much fluff. I enjoyed his crankiness when he was on NBC. But he's made some incredibly ignorant political statements over the last several years, so I have no desire to tune in to his show.
He should take Kid Rock's advice.
Hey, I have’t watched Dave in years. I haven’t missed much either! :)
I remember the last time Letterman was funny . . . It was in the early 1980’s.
Bring down the media now!
..never could stand him. Thought I am not a fan of hers, Cher Bono accurately tagged him as a NY wise a$$ and for a good long time refused to appear on his show.
“He should take Kid Rock’s advice.”
I guess I missed that...what was his advice?
This family should be applauded for bringing this child into the world instead of killing it!
KR recently did an interview and stated that entertainers should stick to entertaining and stay out of politics.
This a$$ 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
Never thought I would say this but...
YOU GO, DR PHIL!!!
...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.)
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.
