What a dopey phrase, right off the psychiatrist's couch. Right up there with "share" and "appropriate"

During the amazingly brief life of the Dr. Laura TV show, I had a friend who had just moved to LA and was doing temp jobs. One of those jobs was to be in the audience for the TV show.

Yep, it was such a disaster they couldn't get an audience letting people in for free. They had to hire one.

What do either of these comments have to do with her foundation to help abused and neglected kids shutting down?

It's actually unclear to me EXACTLY what her foundation did to help abused children. All I can get from her "statement" is something about "stuff"
that was being distributed. What "stuff," exactly? Most of what this lady does seems geared mostly to self-promotion. I'd sure want to see ALL the financial statements before I made any donations to anything she promoted.

This is sad for the kids who benefitted from this kind program.

The foundation distributed bags to social service agencies and children rescue organizations to be given to children removed from abusive and/or neglectful parents. Many of these children leave their homes with the clothes on their backs and little more, so the 'stuff' in the bags was things like toothbrushes, blankies, crayons, teddy bears, etc.

Most of what this lady does seems geared mostly to self-promotion. I'd sure want to see ALL the financial statements before I made any donations to anything she promoted.

Most of what any talk show host does is geared toward self-promotion. Of all the articles and hit jobs done on Dr. Laura over the years I wonder how many of them even mention her foundation. Probably very few, as they can't get past their dislike of her.

It is clear to me that there are several of you that have not listened very long to Dr. Laura. Well I have listened to her for several years and you are completely misrepresenting her and her stands. Same thing happens to Rush, if you only listen to him a few times, you would also misunderstand him. Dr. Laura is VERY good at what she does and if you men think she is stupid and worthless, why don't you buy her book (The Proper Care and Feeding of husbands) and read it. If you still have the same opinion of her, then I can't help you.

Wow...this is a tough crowd. Those who are being critical of the "stuff" she gives to children in shelters (like blankets, books, teddy-bears) and/or to Dr. Laura herself, should listen to the show for awhile.

As Rush says about new listeners to his show, it takes about six weeks.

Dr. Laura tells women they should stay at home, take care of the family, not work, yet she works, and has a salary that would feed a small nation. She's the hypocrite.
