The Right To Be Rude
Dr. Laura got back in the spotlight recently. A caller asked about how to deal with her husband’s relatives, who were a different color than her. The Doctor listened as long as she could, and went on a rampage. For those with better things to do than listen to idiots, these four seconds tell the story.
The use of a bad word is just part of the problem. Mrs. Shlosh Sketchy Schlessinger (spell check suggestions: Schlepping,Schwinger,Speechlessness) is a rude, rude woman. She seems incapable of letting anyone else finish what they have to say. This is a common problem .
Keith Olbermann ( who is known to have an attitude himself) recently honored Dr. Laura as the worst person in the world. He said that use of a six letter word was not the worst thing she said. There were comments to the effect that once “we” elected a black president, that racism would go away. There were a few more absurdities, if you really care to listen.
It is a touch ironic to consider that Mrs. Schlessinger is an orthodox Jew. Their tradition says, the child of a Jewish mother is a Jew. When you play by those rules, Barack Obama is white.
Dr. Schlessinger made a few more appearances after she checked her makeup. There was talk about first amendment rights being violated. PG does not see where the first amendment gives you the right to cut off a person and rant.

Actually, Laura WAS an Orthodox Jew, and she had converted. She no longer practices.
Thanks for stopping by and paying attention. I stand corrected.
I was going to add a couple of paragraphs about Anne Rice, and her much publicized exit from Christianism. The two cases are similar. If I had known that about Dr. Rudeness, it would have made an ironic twist.
You’re welcome. This “woman” is so screwed up, you know?
The caller was about to say something about her neighbor using the “n” word in the presence of herself & her husband. She did not clarify if this was something that actually took place, or if she was offering it as a hypothetical, before Dr. Laura went on the monologue. Now, in this respect, I’m with you; I have listened to her show often and become frustrated with not knowing where the caller was going on this thing or that thing. Between the interrupting, the timid personalities of those who call, their unsettled states of mind (probably from holding for too long?), the more dulcet and quiet audio quality, and their tendency to gloss over the bits they don’t want to have inspected…it seems I’m always at a loss for comprehending some bit that is pivotal to the situation Dr.L is discussing. Or reaming, as the case may be. Generally, the entire show would be more suitable for consumption in written transcript form.
Is Dr. Laura being Shirley-Sherroded here? I’m going to have to answer in the affirmative. It’s quite undeniable. She was stupid actually using the word when no one else had, but she wasn’t directing it at any one person or set of persons. Quite to the contrary, she was making a point about an absurd double-standard, which was proven to be correct with her toppling from the pedestal. Those who did the pushing, therefore, conceded the ultimate defeat, although it’s doubtful history will recall it that way.
Stupidity on all sides on this one.
