I can honesty say that I have succeeded in not falling prey to the whoring impulse. No doubt it has hurt my career in the past, but I never spent time schmoozing with people I despised.

I don't schmooze with people I hate - well at least not too often. But I definitely attend meetings I don't want to attend, and push paper I don't want to push, and generally spend 8 hours doing things I have no interst in doing.

Sigh.
I regularly have to deprogram the wife from an oprah marketing session.
Last month she HAD to have some sneakers Oprah "JUST LOVED". Turns out they're customized nike's that are intended to be worn without socks and are designed to help runners learn to run barefoot.
She was good though, I explained what they really were and she got halfway through the ordering process and decided not to get them...

What to wear
What to read
How to think
How to vote

Hell, thats OUR job!
Hey BUM, As Dr Phil would say "Hows that working for ya?"
Doesn't work for me, I try telling my wife things to do, think, buy etc, great humor in our home.

I think you have to do it with a frank texas sounding accent. And you might need that porn star moustache too.
I'm still trying to figure out how a fat guy who has a best friend whose weight vacillates 50 pounds every couple of years manages to sell a diet book.

Everyone needs a little entertainment and I just happen to TiVo Oprah and Phil every day. I don't watch them all...but most of them!

The DW can't stand the site of Dr. Phil. When she sees his face come up on the screen she either changes the channel immediately (if she has the remote) or she starts screaming obscenities at his image until I do. Opra doesn't evoke as strong a reaction, but she has no interest in her.

I don't like any of the daytime talk show host. I don't see the entertainment value in watching these self proclaimed experts giving advice to people.*
This guy is dishing out to Parents advice about how to raise their kids, gives his kid a job, buys the 30 year old a $2 million home, touts his book on his show.
However, for what he has training in, ol Phil has done OK, gotta give him that.
