"You're obviously a very intelligent person..." REALLY?
I get a kick out of Dr. Phil constantly saying this to guests, even when it's completely obvious that they are anything but. Once in a while you get a complete moron, but Dr. Phil still stays, "Now look, you are obviously a very intelligent person, so...." I just sort of stare at the screen in disbelief.
Then again, I suppose it's better to say this to them than be honest. A little white lie, I guess, even though Dr. Phil says one should always be honest. LOL.
