She might be OK for the "confused chick" audience, but I'm always bummed when I'm on a long road trip and the only talk radio station that gets any reception is carrying Dr. Laura. I'd rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard.
I approve of Dr. Laura's message but frankly can't listen to her unless I'm in a mood that already has me in slap-everyone-I-meet mode. As happens when I have to visit Berkeley or San Francisco, for example. Then, she's the perfect antidote. Really, drive around Berkeley or San Francisco with Dr. Laura hectoring away on the radio, and it's sure to put a smile on your face.
Her son is doing something which sadly should not be extraordinary but is, in this day and age. My thanks as a citizen to him and to his mom, who obviously did a good job with him.
