Haven’t heard her on the air in at least 20 years. Interesting.
She is not a psychologist. She thinks she has all the answers. She is a successful fraud.
I have listened to her in ages. Does she claim to be a psychologist?
I thank God for that, because, oh boy, she’s obnoxious.
I never liked the way she spoke to women. She spins it as needed toughness, but it always sounded like contempt to me. I never understood why a woman would call her. After listening to her for awhile, you knew exactly what she would say. The public also came to learn that she let herself off the hook for all her own personal failings, particularly with respect to her mother and sister.
“Haven’t heard her on the air in at least 20 years. Interesting.”
Closer to 10 years ago, when she was booted off AM radio. She was in a kind of host no-man’s land. She was labeled as a conservative because she didn’t think gay marriage was a great idea, particularly for kids who are forced to live under it, she was high enough profile for the Left to zero in on her, but she didn’t have the resources to fight them off, as Rush and Hantity have done. She also didn’t understand just who the Left is and what they ultimately want, and therefore she never had a chance.
I remember one show long ago. I’ve always remembered the requisites she spelled out for true love - if you don’t have these, it ain’t gonna last: respect, admiration and awe.
I thought she was DEAD, professionally and literally.
I was gonna offer a comment but now there’s no need to. :)
I used to listen to her. One time I was listening with my kids in the car and she was so unnecessarily crude about some sexual matter that I had to change stations. I believe that was the last time I listened.
Her photo is of a very young Dr. Laura.
I listened to her for a while back in the day. Her approach was counter-cultural.
“She is not a psychologist.”
What on earth does that have to do with anything? Psychology is mostly junk science.
“She thinks she has all the answers.”
Have you ever listened to a talk show on the radio. Do the hosts ever refrain from giving an answer when asked? Do they always preface their answer by stating they don’t know everything. Do people anywhere in life ever refrain from answering a question when asked? Do they always preface their answer by stating they don’t know everything?
“She is a successful fraud.”
She is successful and certainly is not a fraud.
Exactly.
Please, not the nude photo!
Yeah I didn’t know she was even still around. Last time I heard her was at an older woman’s condo in the mid 90s.
Her arch rival was Dr. Joy Brown, who did have a shrink degree, and Dr. Brown was a ... well, she passed away suddenly a long time back, so I'll leave it at that.
Used to hear her on the morning drive around the turn of the millennium. Then when 9/11 hit they had like 2 weeks of wall to wall news coverage. When they finally went back to regular programming, Dr. Laura was gone and had been replaced by some weird guy named Glenn Beck.
So I literally have not heard Dr. Laura since 9-10-2001. I just assumed she had retired. Had no idea she was still in radio.
