<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/param><\/object>There is a lot of nonsense on Fox News. After all, this is the network that employs Dick Morris and Sarah Palin. It’s the network that brings in people like Jon Voight, Victoria Jackson, and Ted Nugent, to discuss serious matters of government and finance. But there may be no other Fox contributor that comes even close to the delusional lunacy of Dr. Keith Ablow.<\/p>\n

Lou Dobbs hosted a segment of his Fox Business Network program that sought to explore President Obama’s identity crisis, wherein Ablow offered his typically twisted analysis of Obama’s psychological defects. The excrement that spews from his lips is so utterly perverse that I think I’ll just let it speak for itself:<\/p>\n

“When you don’t have a core you’re able to slip the binding of your own existence and play other presidents.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Where’s the fire? Where’s the leadership? Why can’t we get anything done? Well, what if there’s nobody inside there other than the guy on GQ magazine on the cover?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“If you go through enough abandonment, which this president has, if you are disenfranchised, you can cut yourself off from those feeling of rage and fire. That is all you can do to not disintegrate.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“That’s why we’re adrift, Lou. Because there’s nobody in the White House, not really.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“This is a president who captured the White House but considers himself different than us. OK? Quite different. And not sure at all that he liked us.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The whole reason the Birther movement came up is because people were flummoxed. They couldn’t figure out how can you be President of the United States and seem not to like the citizenry of the United States?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The answer is he doesn’t hate us. He simply isn’t there to hate or love. Because, guess what? Long ago he severed himself from all core emotions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There you have it. Obama is a phantom president whose own lack of emotion caused right-wing extremists and Tea Partiers to doubt his citizenship. And Ablow put forth these baseless theories in an embarrassingly childish performance that was peppered with repeated interruptions and pleas for attention.<\/p>\n

Ablow is fond of pretending that he can psychoanalyze people who he has never examined or even met. That is a sign of certain quackery reminiscent of “doctor”<\/em> Bill Frist’s pathetic attempt to diagnose the terminally ill and vegetative Terri Schiavo<\/a>. What’s more, Ablow is in violation of the American Psychiatric Association’s Principles of Medical Ethics (Section 7.3<\/a>), which state:<\/p>\n

“On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself\/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.<\/strong>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ablow’s unethical hackery fits well on the Fox airwaves, and his credentials suit the requirements of the so-called “news”<\/em> network that has proudly cast off any semblance ethics. He is the co-author of a book with conspiracy schizoid Glenn Beck, who has tried his own hand at psychoanalyzing the President<\/a> as well – with hilarious results.<\/p>\n

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that characters like this fill the schedule on Fox. Notwithstanding how easy Fox makes it look, it really is difficult to come up with consistently demented lies and insults of the “quality”<\/em> that Fox has maintained. So perhaps we should cut them some slack if they have to resort to lowlifes like Ablow on occasion just to avoid having dead air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
