Dr. Laura

The vitally important news is out. Dr. Laura is "retiring" so she can play victim and claim that dangerous, mean racial minorities and white liberals are stomping on her First Amendment rights. She seems very happy when dispensing her particular brand of hate-mongering, insulting diatribes against everyone who is not like her. If you agree with her, you are a First Amendment champion. If you disagree and do something about it - like boycotting advertisers - exercising your own First Amendment rights is just too much for Dr. Laura to bear. She's made millions with her brand of sociopathic hatred of those with whom she disagrees but can't seem to handle being challenged and embarrassed when she utters things so incredibly stupid that they don't even bear repeating here. Don't worry. She'll continue to build her wealth in different venues and pack the houses at places where angry white folks congregate. Her First Amendment rights are very well protected - at least better than mine are. I'm one of those over-educated East coast white guys she fears the most because we won't just stand by and let her get away with dividing my country along racial, ethnic, religious and social lines. The only questions are how long she can milk the victim bit and how much money she'll make doing it. I'll guess the victim bit will last as long as it takes to get a book advance and publish her sage wisdom about every topic imaginable. It seems like the hardest thing for Americans to say is "I can't form an opinion because I don't know enough about the topic yet." If someone can find a moment when Dr. Laura has said anything remotely like that, I'd love to know. Otherwise, she is a blowhard - a very well paid one.
