Dr. Laura blames Spitzer’s wife for scandal

[babylonsister]

Dr. Laura blames Spitzer’s wife for scandal.

Today, right-wing radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger appeared on NBC’s Today Show in a segment called “Why do men cheat?” Schlessinger argued that Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) cheated because his wife failed “make him feel like a man”:

When the wife does not focus in on the needs and the feelings — sexually, personally — to make him feel like a man, to make him feel like a success, to make him feel like her hero, he’s very susceptible to the charm of some other woman. <…>

The cheating was his decision to repair what’s damaged and to feed himself where he’s starving. But yes, I hold women accountable for tossing out perfectly good men by not treating them with the love and kindness and respect and attention they need.

1. Jeebus.

Just...Jeebus.

[leftofcool]

2. Of course she does!

[jakem]

3. now she IS a bitch monster.

PC be damned.

[Ellen Forradalom]

8. Be as politically incorrect as you want

Laura certainly doesn't give a shit.

[snooper2]

45. Can we call her the c word?

[BearSquirrel2]

57. Hillary is the bitch monster ... Laura is the

Laura Schlessinger is the Sanctimonicunt.

4. O.M.G. n/t

[rucky]

5. That "doctor" is seriously messed up.

I can't believe she still works after the nudie pictures of hers got posted all over the 'net.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. What do you expect from a Ph.D. in PHYSICAL THERAPY???!!!!

[rucky]

no way!

no shit?

not surprising.

[madrchsod]

31. yes way....she has as much creditabilty as you or me

and we don`t know each other!

[Ellen Forradalom]

71. No, she has less

Because we haven't put ourselves in the hectoring business.

[leftofcool]

16. I heard she didn't really have a Ph.D. but it may be a rumor

[damntexdem]

18. Well, I guess Elliot did pay for some high-priced 'physical therapy.'

;-)

[BearSquirrel2]

59. Physiology ...

Sounds like an MD without studying disease or treating it. California seems to have some lax laws about who can behave as a "doctor".

[damntexdem]

14. I wonder just what businesses she has investments in.

Or other business arrangements with.

I mean, I'm just wondering.

[LiberalinNC]

6. Dr Laura must know this from experience!

[ceile]

7. I have no words, so

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[damntexdem]

9. Hmm, made him susceptible to the "charm" of an unknown stranger ...

to whom he paid $4500. Sounds like he went after some elective surgery on his ego. ;-)

Well, after all, what can we expect from Dr. Laura? Maybe not something quite this stupid, but something stupid, nevertheless.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. She is insane

[Cyrano]

12. Dear Dr. Laura, female DUers, male Duers, and everyone else in the world.

Please allow me to relate to you one of the absolute truths of planet Earth.

AN ERECTION HAS NO CONSCIENCE.

Some of you already knew this. Others didn't. But trust me on this. It's a fact.

[LibDemAlways]

13. What a moron. His wife could have been knocking herself

out to fulfill his every desire, who knows -- sure as hell not "Dr." Laura. Apparently he wanted something else or something more. Until and unless he confides to her what that was, she ought to keep her big trap shut.

[soleft]

15. Sick

Just sick.

[nomorenomore08]

17. Predictable as fucking clockwork.

My question is, if Dr. Laura thinks women should be good submissive wives, then why didn't she follow her own advice instead of becoming a blowhard radio host?

[leftofcool]

19. Good question?

[Pirate Smile]

20. Of course she does. Unbelievable.

:eyes:

[Oleladylib]

21. Geez if there was ever a uniter on DU it's this asshole..laura

[riverdeep]

22. How does this fit in with the mantra of 'personal responsibility'™?

I'm guessing it doesn't.

How do people like her who got caught with her pants down and Rush who got caught with a mountain of drugs continue to be on the air?

[GodlessBiker]

24. You're right. It doesn't. She's an asshole.

[SeattleGirl]

23. Oh,of course! Whenever a man cheats, it's ALWAYS the wife's fault!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[supernova]

25. Could she be any more of a harpy shrew?!?

It amazes me that she makes money this way.

:puke:

[Elspeth]

26. Her son, Deryk, felt like a man by killing people

[Happyhippychick]

27. I can't wait for the day her hubby is on the front page of the Enquirer with his mistress.

After all, she's such an example of being a great daughter (her mother was dead in her apartment for a month before anybody noticed), sister (hasn't spoken to her since 1976), mother (son posted cartoons of child molestation on his webpage before the army took them down) - I'm sure her husband would have no reason to stray.

[Elspeth]

33. Preferably male and muscled

(the mistress that is) :)

[TheCowsCameHome]

42. Hahaha. Good one!

:rofl:

[calico1]

28. I am a non violent person.

Dr. Laura needs to be taken out back and beaten to within an inch of her life.

:puke:

[madrchsod]

29. wow they dug up her skinny corpse from the grave

to comment on morality? just how desperate is the media......

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. She would

[Solly Mack]

32. So...does it make her husband feel like a man to see her bush all over the web?

[closeupready]

34. OMG. She is insane.

[gauguin57]

35. You mean Dr. Laura "Beaver on the Web, Affair With Married Man" Schlessinger?

go pound sand, you hypocritical bee-yotch!

[Elspeth]

36. This is how she justifies stealing Dr. Bishop from his wife and little kids years ago

and creating the spawn of all hell with him.

[Tempest]

37. So how does that explain

Why married Repugs cheat with gay men?

[AngryOldDem]

38. Maestro, "Wives and Lovers," please! Ah one, ah two...

"Hey, little girl, comb your hair fix your makeup
Soon he will walk through that door...
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore...

"Day after day there are girls at the office
And men will always be men...

For wives should always be lovers, too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you...
I'm warnin' you."

A Bacharach/David standard from 1963, described as a "lounge lizard anthem." Nice, waltzy melody, but that's about it.

[question everything]

39. She should thank both Spitzers for reminiding the people of this country

that she still exists.

[KamaAina]

40. Dr. Laura. Today's Worst. Person. In The World!

c'mon Keith, we know some of your staffers are lurking... :hi:

[TheCowsCameHome]

41. Pssst. Hey Laura - got any more 5x7 glossies to sell?

before you shrivel up completely...........

44. I Blame Dr. Laura for the way Her Son Turned Out

Dr. Laura son linked to lurid Web page
Site contained violent, sex-oriented images one official called 'repulsive'
By Matthew D. LaPlante


Reader Advocate: Dr. Laura fans take issue with story on SLC eventThe soldier son of talk radio relationship counselor Laura Schlessinger is under investigation for a graphic personal Web page that one Army official has called "repulsive."

The MySpace page, publicly available until Friday when it disappeared from the Internet, included cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation; photographs of soldiers with guns in their mouths; a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned "My Sweet Little Habib"; accounts of illicit drug use; and a blog entry headlined by a series of obscenities and racial epithets.

The site is credited to and includes many photographs of Deryk Schlessinger, the 21-year-old son of the talk radio personality known simply as Dr. Laura. Broadcast locally on 570 KNRS, "Family Values Talk Radio," the former family counselor spends three hours daily taking calls and offering advice on morals, ethics and values. She broadcast a show from Fort Douglas, in Salt Lake City, last week.

wanna play Dr. Laura... let's play!

[global1]

46. It's Making Sense - Now I Know Why Bill Clinton Sought Out Monica.......

Hillary didn't make him feel like a man, or make him feel like a success, or make him feel like her hero, he was very susceptible to the charm of other woman - because of Hillary.

Her ambition turned Bill off to her and now it's payback time - as Bill secretly doesn't want Hillary to win the presidency. So though it may look that he is pulling for her - he is making intentional tactical errors to tank her candidacy. He doesn't want her to overshadow his legacy.

[Missy Vixen]

47. In related news, water is wet

I can only hope that the karmic payback for Laura Schlessinger is even more intense than it already has been. It seems she hasn't learned her lesson yet.

Julie

[debbierlus]

48. She is a nutball fraud

How insulting to Spitzer's wife and all women EVERYWHERE...

[AlCzervik]

49. following her logic she must think abused children "had it coming".

[sarcasmo]

50. With that line of thinking, my wife doesn't do her job, LMFAO.

[Breeze54]

51. I ...had... to ...turn...her ...off ...

and run for the barf bag!! :puke:

[treestar]

52. People who make that argument don't seem to realize what they

are saying about men: that they are not capable of responsibility for themselves. Someone else is responsible for what they do. If that were true, the President should be a woman and so should the entire Congress and all other positions of responsibility.

And do we suppose that where the wife cheats, it was the husband's failure to make her feel like a woman, blah, blah and all that rest of the :puke: worthy crap?

[CreekDog]

53. this is just in case you can't figure out a reasonable response to the news

just check with Dr. Laura and choose the opposite of whatever she says.

:think:

[youthere]

54. What's even more disgusting...

is that there are plenty of women and men out there that read this and nod their heads in agreement. It doesn't surprise me that Schlesinger would say something like this...what surprises me are the numbers of people who wholeheartedly agree with this vomit.

[theboss]

55. It's amazing that someone filled with so much self-hate has not committed suicide

She is just wretched.

[Johonny]

56. duh

That's her answer to every single person that calls into the show. As far as I can tell her audience is women that hate women and men who hate women.

[mountainvue]

58. Laura is a fucking loon. n/t

[undeterred]

60. Then it was Hillary's fault Bill needed Monica

and she should be held accountable for not performing her wifely duties, according to this logic.

[apocalypsehow]

61. It's simply unbelievable such people are allowed to wander off the grounds of their asylums.

:thumbsdown:

[varelse]

62. Watch it at link

I just can't, but your post was descriptive enough to make me :puke:

Still... is anyone surprised?

[Medusa]

63. I saw this interview

Unfuckingbelievable.

[Ilsa]

64. I was in the dining room of a hotel with Today on the TV and called

out "That's crap!" when LI opined on this. I can't believe NBC would let that crazy bitch on tv, or that the other three people didn't directly call her on it.

I had a friend whose husband cheated on her. He'd have sex with her, then say he was going fishing and take off for another woman's house.

66. By that logic, can the husband be held accountable...

...if he "doesn't focus in on the needs and the feelings" of his wife, and she has an affair to "repair what's damaged" and "feed herself where's she's starving"? (and why is she presenting cheating as the only option for a man who's having marital difficulties?)

I doubt she'd be spewing the same crap if the situation was reversed. More likely, she'd be urging the woman to engage in self-flagellation as penance for her dirty, selfish deeds. :sarcasm:

I honestly cannot comprehend how anyone (especially a woman!) in this day and age can espouse this kind of backward thinking. And what a slap in the face to Eliot Spitzer's poor wife, who has already borne enough public humiliation as it is.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

67. There is no stronger misogyny than

republican woman misogyny

[Ellen Forradalom]

72. Woman-on-woman hate is the nastiest.

I go out of my way to avoid situations in which I may experience it--like PTA meetings, or spending time with my mother-in-law.

[joeybee12]

68. can I say bitch slap?

I know that's not PC and probably offensive, but if you want to post a photo of someone who needs it...

[lonestarnot]

69. What a lame ass motherfucker.

No thanks I won't be watching that trash.

[NC_Nurse]

70. Dr. Laura = wretched asshat

Her opinion is as worthless as shit on a shingle. F*ck her!
