I have to admit that the headline is possibly misleading. While Kathie Lee Gifford is known for opening her mouth and expressing her opinion, she has never been linked to drugs or even in need of a drug class.
But she continues to shoot off her pie hole and make an idiot of herself! As reported in www.examiner.com.
The "Today Show" host is once again coming under fire. This time she is being slammed by addiction experts and fans for implying that the parents of drug addicts are failures as moms and dads and are ultimately at fault for their children's drug and substance-abuse problems.
The 58-year-old Gifford made the inflammatory statement in the September 2012 issue of "Family Circle" magazine, where she snorted: "I'm not a perfect mom, but my kids haven't been arrested, in rehab or kicked out of school, so I must be doing something right!" What a moron!
The gaffe-prone Gifford has also been criticized by addiction experts, who note that drug abuse and alcoholism are not the result of poor parenting, but rather, are brain diseases unrelated to the alleged moral failings of moms and dads.
Also parents only have so much control and influence. Like Gifford they can set a good example only to have peer pressure get them to experiment.
It is shocking that someone like Kathie Lee would seemingly kick suffering parents when they are desperately trying to save their children's lives.
Gifford, who has a son Cody, 22, and daughter Cassidy, 19, has been curiously quiet since the fallout began, but might want to be more careful with her comments next time.
