Dr. Laura Considers Presidential Run
NewsMax
Monday, June 3, 2002
Dr. Laura Schlessinger says she may just run for president.
In a NewsMax magazine story cover hitting newsstands this week, America's most popular female talk radio host says she might seriously consider a run for president if Hillary Clinton decides to do so.
"If Hillary ran, I would have to run against her," Dr. Laura told NewsMax magazine in a recent interview now appearing in the June issue.
She described Mrs. Clinton and her husband as being "perverse, disturbed and destructive … and immoral."
In the same no-holds-barred, hard-hitting style she displays on her "Dr. Laura Schlessinger Program" – now heard on over 400 stations nationwide, with an estimated 15 million listeners each week – Dr. Laura said she was worried Mrs. Clinton would be considered a role model for young women.
"That would be horrifying," she said of a Hillary presidential bid.
"Everything I've read about her … the book the FBI guy who was in the White House, Gary Aldrich – I mean, you read that book and you realize the two of them are perverse, disturbed and destructive. And immoral. And legalities mean nothing to them. This is not a role model. But this is what happens when you have such ferocious bias in the media and only one picture is painted. It's scary. If Hillary runs, I'm going to feel a need to run against her. "
Other points Dr. Laura made in a wide-ranging interview:
On sex education: "In public school systems across the country, they're indoctrinating kids to be 'sexual' under the guise of protecting them, when you know that's not true. I think it is indoctrination for left-wing agendas."
On feminism: "The bulk has been destructive. I'm ashamed of it. And I was in the midst of it in the sixties, but I'm thoroughly ashamed of it. ... It's been very anti-man, anti-marriage, anti-family, anti-child rearing. I think that's been very destructive. All you have to do is look at the last two generations of our children, and that's your answer."
On gutless leaders: "I'm tired of the 'can't win against evil' way. I'm sorry, you cannot. They'll run you over. So that is my one big passion. "Ten Stupid Things People Do to Let Evil Win." That will be my next passion book. I am angry.
On public schools: "I'm sure there are isolated exceptions, but by and large, the public schools are dangerous. … In a language arts class in Michigan, they gave a writing assignment. Students were supposed to answer the whole thing. All the parts. In great detail. Questions like 'What do your mother and father argue about? What happens when they argue? Who behaves badly toward you? Would you say your family is dysfunctional?' This was the most insane thing that I had seen. This is a national program ... these things are happening in schools all over the place. It's like Nazi Germany – going through the children to separate them from their parents. I find this horrifying.
On her short-lived TV show: "My regret about the whole television show industry is that those venues which espouse the same virtues [as she does] did not have the courage or the energy to stand up with me. That's my regret. The little secret calls from well-known people saying, "We really back you" and "We're so glad you have the guts to do this." All the way up through senators. Christian groups. Jewish groups. Nobody else wanted to get hit by it. So here I was, Gen. McArthur. I had my pipe. I turned around and nobody was there. With a few minor exceptions, like Michael Medved."
Looks like she talks about you in the interview: "I'm tired of the 'can't win against evil' way. I'm sorry, you cannot. They'll run you over. So that is my one big passion. "Ten Stupid Things People Do to Let Evil Win." That will be my next passion book. I am angry."
When does someone force me into calling a radio show with a absurdly inconsiquential problem usually resulting from my own stupidity or laziness make it the radio hosts fault?
I like Dr L and dont always agree with her but she has every right in this world to be rude to her callers....its not a service she provides...its quite free and if you are a glutten for punishment then call. You are probably calling to hear it from someone ekse rather than your own mom or sister anyways.
I disagree with your opinion on Dr L. You may not like her, but that doesnt take away from the fact that she is the famous wealthy family advisor and you a nameless complainer.
Which raises an interesting point, that Dr. Laura took endless heat for it, while the creep who posted what were meant for his eyes only took none. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who'd do that to an ex-girlfriend needs horsewhipping.
Absurdly inconsequential? I'll have you know that hundreds of folks this year have called Dr. PJ about the horrible problem of lint caught in their bellybuttons. Thanx to the wonderful advice of Dr. PJ (cotton swab to clean out the bellybutton---soaked in alcohol for you innies), thousands of folks around the country are no longer faced with the horrible lint in the bellybutton scourge.
You may not like her, but that doesnt take away from the fact that she is the famous wealthy family advisor and you a nameless complainer.
But now that Dr. PJ is on the air, he will soon be famously wealthy by stealing Dr. Laura's shtick.
Dr. PJ---Better than you AND morally superior to you.
And that "kid" was ultimately proved to be a LIAR in court.
YOU MISERABLE LOUSY SLUT!!! Don't you try to shuffle blame off on your boyfriend. Why did you pose for those pics in the first place? What? You were married at the time?....GET THE HELL OFF MY PHONE BEFORE YOU POLLUTE US ALL WITH YOUR IMMORALITY!!!
Hillary would prefer to see women nationwide disarmed and believes government can solve everyone's problems.
There's no need to even think about who deserves my vote!
I'll call myself Dr. PJ even though I'm not really a doctor. How can I get away with it? Because I am better than you and that "DOC" title helps with the ratings....
Next question for Dr. PJ?
She admitted from the very start that was her in the pictures-on her nationwide radio show. It appears you're the one having trouble telling the truth.
Yes and ??
it would be the best race ever..come on hill, Run!
Dr. PJ is infallible. Dr. Laura definitely denied those pics were of her. Meanwhile Dr. PJ is so virtuous that he has been saving his purity for Madonna all these years.
These are the Great Female Offerings of the 21st century? What a farce.
The reason her TV show tubed is that she was not herself. She toned down the "Dr. L-ness" for a TV audience more accustomed to the Oprah confessional. She is FAR better on radio. Never should have tried the TV thing. Her blaming TV's failure on others is rather pathetic.
Should call with THAT one: "I tried a new job but wasn't myself. They fired me. No one supported me. Boo-hoo." "You miserable pathetic wretch. You were successful before because of who you were. You changed that and have only yourself to blame."
The difference is that you're lying. Dr. L *is* a doctor. She holds a PhD.
You do seem to have a problem with telling the truth. You don't like it when Dr. L does and you can't seem to tell it yourself under any circumstance.
But, of course, you have morally superior lies. /sarcasm
