31. Yet another sleezy Harpo Production.
Wed Aug 21, 2013, 09:33 PM
Aug 2013

Dr. "I was the worst marriage counselor on the planet; that's why Oprah Winfrey made me famous for doing precisely for what I profess to be incompetent" Phil.

Like another one of Oprah's champions, Jenny "Before I discovered anti-vaccination rubbish, I promoted my autistic son as a Crystal Child, a possible alien/human hybrid who possesses psychic abilities from... maybe the Pleiades" McCarthy.

Or, maybe it's... DUN DUN DUNNNNN!... "The Secret". Can I really get a unicorn who farts rainbows if I wish it hard enough?

Or just maybe it's John of God, who does one of the sleaziest scams, psychic surgery, to bilk his clients. Of course he's supported by Dr. Oz, who is supported by... wait for it... Dun-Tadda-Dahhhh! Oprah Winfrey!!!!

She's the queen of woo woo. She uses her great wealth to exhibit and spread her utter ignorance.
