Judge Mathis is good for the Soul

I worked in retail for many, many years, so I know what it's like to deal with the, shall we say intellectually stifled on a daily basis. What I delt with was almost EXACTLY like what I see on the Judge Mathis show. I find it very gratifying to see someone on television dealing with difficult people with such humor and aplomb. As to this matter of Judge Mathis' inappropriate comments: The Honorable Judge Mathis only makes rude or impertinent remarks to people who have been inappropriate themselves. Watching the show with an careful and observant eye, will reveal that his truly acerbic jabs are, in fact reversals of the staggeringly ignorant remarks made by the litigants appearing before him. While I would never assert that Judge Mathis is, or should be everyone's idea of enjoyable daytime TV, I would however ask that the good judge's senses of humor and style be respected.
