It makes me wonder, too. Dr. Laura came out swinging against Sarah Palin, and has been making snide comments about Palin’s dtr’s bf. These older women — there is something under their skin. I will call it primal jealousy.
The leftist women are clearly motivated by politics, but it’s still indicative, to me, that they go after the handicapped baby first.
The Republican women seem to be envious: “What’s so great about HER? Why does she get to be Vice President? Look at Me Me Me Me!!!” It’s like high school :-).
I didn't know Dr. Laura was bashing Palin. I like Dr. Laura's advice urging that people take care of their kids. But curiously, much of her ethical code precisely overlaps with her own life decisions. Hmm what a coincidence. For example, when callers ask if they are too old to have kids, she prescribes 42 or there abouts as the "cut off" age -- the age she had her son. Sarah Palin has a husband who is devoted to her and appears happy to share the family responsibilities. If Dr. Laura had needed her husband to assist, it would have been 'OK' to go that route, I suspect. And Dr. Laura's callers are often lambasted if ask about work arrangements -- for example, if the husband is a truck driver, "Is it OK to be away from home for extended periods etc.?" DL's stock advice is that "that's WRONG, you need to get another job." Then - being totally rich - she goes & has a 'money fight' like Montgomery Burns on the Simpsons. She often has fine advice, but must be taken with a grain of salt. After all, while she ends her shows with "Go Do the RIGHT Thing" - let's remember that she's doling out this advice -- AFTER "getting hers": she is a home wrecker, herself. She stole her current husband from another lady; he was MARRIED when she met him. Nice. I say this with the greatest respect for DL, I think she is a wonderful talk show host, overall. The over-the-top fawning treatment she receives (like she's The One) in light of her own rather checkered personal history is a bit nauseating, however. Let's be honest humility & a good working memory of personal decisions are not her strong suits.
