An anguished James Dobson prayed Wednesday for a sign from God, telling his Christian radio listeners he was questioning his early endorsement of Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers.

Oooga-booga-BOO! Toss some chicken bones and let us all know what you see, JD.

I always get the willies when a preacher is "Dr." instead of "Rev." or "Fr." - weirdness often abounds as a result.

James Dobson is not a Rev. theredore he does not use that title. He is, however, a renowned child psychologist who has a PhD and therefore has earned the title of "doctor".

Dr. Dobson is not a preacher. He was a Psychologist before beginning his writing and broadcasting work, which ultimately grew into the Focus on the Family organization. He is always introduced as "Pschologist and Author, Dr. James Dobson". I've never heard of him being referred to as a preacher. Focus on the Family is not a church, it's a parachurch organization.

Dobson is not a "preacher" or "Reverand" and doesn't pretend to be. He is a child psycologist.

What if they're both? (Dr. and Rev.)

One of your more moronic posts, Hank.

In this case, he really is a doctor - a clinical psychologist and former professor of pediatric medicine.

Is Dobson a minister or a psychologist?

[Al Simmons]

Dr. Dobson is not an ordained minister. He IS a licensed psychologist, however.
