Dr. Laura Schlessinger has never been one to shrink from controversy, and she leaped headlong into one on Monday when she said that if a husband cheats, his wife may share some of the blame.
When the wife does not focus in on the needs and the feelings, sexually, personally, to make him feel like a man, to make him feel like a success, to make him feel like her hero, hes very susceptible to the charm of some other woman making him feel what he needs, the popular psychologist and radio personality said.
More commonly known as just Dr. Laura, Schlessinger made the remarks while participating in one of several panel discussions on TODAY dealing with the breaking news that New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer had been connected to a high-priced prostitution ring.

I just wanted to add that we're both here, on FreeRepublic...so of course we're definitely saner than MOST others..male or female!!! :)
According to reports, his "preference" was sex without a condom.
My guess is his stick-up-the-butt skinny, beautiful shiksa Waspy wife was a "no-go" in the bedroom. Some women just aren't "into" sex, theyre just into being married and have a huge credit card limit (with a little Power/Status on the side) ..
Next time Elliot should choose more wisely.
You sound like a liberal. "You're not willing to admit . . . ," "You must be afraid . . . ," "You don't understand . . ."
Face it: A lot of women just plain disagree with Laura. It's no more complicated than that.
Oh, Lord. It's the "If you don't think like me you're unhappy" ploy. Don't stop to think that she might just disagree with you. No, it's far better to suggest that she's unhappy. And pitiful.
Ha! I thought you were only here to antagonize us Hildy? Now we’re sane here? Gosh, having trouble remembering things lately?
Look at the video limked in post #304 to see what Dr. Laura actually said. It’s a lot different that what is portrayed in the article. The other woman panelist and the guy are the ones making excuses for Spitzer. Dr. Laura was making generalized comments, and not specifically addressing Spitzer. In fact, she is quite harsh towards spitzer.
What are you talking about? First of all, I was responding to Najida's comment to me...nothing to do with you. Secondly, I'm doing here what everyone does here..offering my opinion on a subject. Why on Earth do you think I'm here to antagonize you? A wee bit paranoid, me thinks. And me having trouble remembering? I have no clue what that means..and frankly, don't really care. On the other hand, who is antagonizing whom?
Najida, do you think that I'm here to antagonize? I thought we were having a really interesting discussion and my last comment was just to wrap it up in a fun and friendly way. Oh well...
My future wife would not have a problem with such a comment. In fact, she'd feel flattered knowing I desired her so much. I suspect Hildy wouldn't mind, either; and I suspect Hildy's husband is a pretty happy guy.
I think you have misconstrued Hildy’s point.

Like the one quote from a man in Dr. Laura's The Proper Care and Feeding on Husbands, "If I'm not horny, make me a sandwich." I would add, that I can make my own sandwich. Mens needs are simple, admiration, affection/sex, and a bit of food; and a decent man will do anything for his wife.
Of course this does not apply if the guy is an abuser, adulterer, or addicted.
The spitabll is no man.
He’s a little boy that has NO SELF CONTROL.
Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

You will KEEP me around as an example - thats rich. FR has become one big circle jerk. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. I mourn the great site this once was.
Goodbye Jim. It was a great decade and its been an interesting ride. I wish you and your family nothing but happiness. Life is too short for this kind of nonsense. Please close my account.
Oh, so now it comes down to “IF you are a Conservative you must worship “Dr” Laura”...
With all due respect Hildy, Thanks, but no Thanks...
I think his wife is attractive. If he wants her to do demeaning acts, she has every right to REFUSE.
Let me get this straight...lack of weight loss equates to the ‘sky high’ divorce rate via the ‘selfishness of women.’ Ooookay.
