Dr. Phil McGraw seriously wants us to believe that Lynne Spears is actually a good mom. No, sorry, did we say "good"? 'Cause we meant "great"!
"We know the Spears family, particularly the parents," McGraw told People magazine. "An asset that Britney and Jamie Lynn both have is a great and dedicated mother."
McGraw, known for lecturing his guests on his popular talk show, "Dr. Phil," doesn't seem to apply that same philosophy to his friends.
While McGraw admits that Lynne Spears "is troubled right now," he also says she loves her daughters and is "really looking for the positives in this . . . she has her feet squarely and solidly on the ground."
Beyond your standard "WTF" indignation at such a proposterous thing to say, our reaction is: "Dedicated," eh? Because what we love most about this quote is how Dr. Phil managed to use that word instead of "committed," seeing as how, you know, someone in this family eventually will be.
