She was a working mother. She is divorced. She had an affair. She is all of the things that she hates and she projects that on to her callers.

She had several affairs.

She's anti-gay, "If you're gay or a lesbian, it's a biological error that inhibits you from relating normally to the opposite sex. The fact that you are intelligent, creative and valuable is all true. The error is in your inability to relate sexually intimately, in a loving way to a member of the opposite sex -- it is a biological error."

The Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives is spot on though. Even animals do a better job than many of us.

I will add: she was outspoken about being against infertility treatments and adamant that infertile couples adopt and...wait for it.....she spent thousands to reverse a tubal ligation and seek treatments to have her son.

It's pretty hilarious and uncanny that everything she was against she became. Pretty sure in the next life she will be a lesbian black woman.

I remember listening to Dr. Laura in the car with my mother as a child. A woman called in asking about a baby shower. The pregnant woman was unmarried, the shower was at their church, and she felt uncomfortable with the situation but didn't want to be rude and not send a gift. Dr Laura advised her to NOT send a gift, go to the shower, or engage with her at all--to send a message that "that kind of behavior" (being a single mother) is unacceptable.
I asked my mom why she was being so mean. My mother never listened to her after that. This was in the mid 90s. I can't believe she's still on the air!

I also heard her trashing President Obama. Like his politics or not, why insult the president if the (ostensible) intent of your show is to offer therapy and advice? I listened only until I wanted to put my fist through the windshield but long enough to notice that her sponsors are all companies owned by her.

She's an idiot who thinks moms should not work. After I heard her tell some woman to earn money by baking cupcakes and selling them at workplaces, I refused to ever tune in. Most women need retirement benefits, health benefits, and a steady paycheck, not just cupcake money.

My mother listens to her and says "Dr. Laura says..." and I'm like "who cares what Dr. Laura says!".

My mother likes her too, and the funny thing is -- my mother was a narcissistic terrible parent. Hmmm.

Most DC women are too ugly and stuck up to find a man willing to take care of them so they have to work and be bitter

Agree, but I think that's how Martha Stewart got started.

Good point. MS was a model turned stockbroker turned wife and mom. Then she started her own catering company and the rest is history.

I find her amusing as hell. She touts family values but she had a long term affair with a married man, think she's been divorced twice had a nude photo scandal years ago, and her mom was found dead, only when neighbors complained of a stench, weeks after she died just 2 miles from her radio show. I get they were estranged but wow, maybe she should not be giving advice to others on what makes a great mom and wife.

I think people listen because she has so many hypocrital missteps.

I didn't realize she was on the air again. She is terrible.

Actually, I completely agree with her advice on this. It has nothing to do with being "mean."
