Never said no one was listening to her....people watch Jerry Springer, trainwrecks and boils being lanced.

Doesn’t mean she’s good, just mean she’s hard not to notice.
As for traditional values-—

Gee, you mean the value of implying you are a Dr. when your degree has nothing to do with your current vocation? Or having an affair with a married man that led to the end of his marriage? Or posing for nude pictures? Or being totally estranged from your blood kin?

She sounds like a paragon of conservative values all right!!!

Or biggest of all, not demanding that people be responsible for their own behaviors while feeding egos those she wants to impress.

Does Dr. Laura stand proudly by any of her bad actions today? No, she doesn't. And as I said before, it takes one to know one. Dr. Laura lived a profligate life in her younger days and that helped her gain insight into what causes people to be immoral and dysfunctional. And to my mind, that gives her more standing than most PsyDs out there.

To that extent, she's similar to Fr. John Corapi, who, if you don't know him, went from being a millionaire, to a homeless drug-addict, to a firebrand Catholic priest who has brought tens of thousands back to the Faith.

She is. Many of us conservatives are repentant former profligates. Folks who preach that there is no repentence from your past sins are doing the work of the devil.
