Dr. Laura Blames Spitzer’s Wife For Scandal

Think Progress
March 11, 2008


Dr. Laura before her "religious conversion"

Today, right-wing radio host http://www.bartcop.com/mengidx.htm">Dr. Laura Schlessinger appeared on NBC’s Today Show in a segment called “Why do men cheat?” Schlessinger argued that Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) cheated because his wife failed “make him feel like a man”:

"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, he’s very susceptible to the charm of some other woman. <…>"

"The cheating was his decision to repair what’s damaged and to feed himself where he’s starving. But yes, I hold women accountable for tossing out perfectly good men by not treating them with the love and kindness and respect and attention they need."

1. i knew the garbage was getting stinky.

now i know where hubby's been hiding. WHAT GARBAGE. laura is a disgrace to all that is feminine.

[DeSwiss]

14. Well said....

...with one small editing change

"laura is a disgrace to all that is feminine human."

[Berry Cool]

2. Oh, yeah. To her, everything that goes wrong in a marriage is the woman's fault.

Nothing new.

[DeSwiss]

15. So since she's a divorcee....

...that means that one was her fault too, eh? Apparently she wasn't making hubby "feel like a man" either.

[barbtries]

3. people still listen to that

ummm...person? rotten hypocritical person? i'm trying so hard not to scratch the B itch!

[SoCalDem]

8. Just call her a harpy...

no offense to Harpy Eagles.. (They probably don't post here anyway)

[DeSwiss]

16. Go ahead and scratch....

....you'll feel better! ;)

But apparently someone's still listening. Otherwise I can't see why the Today Show would have her on unless its too shore-up their ratings.

- Its pathetic what the teevee people will stoop to these days.

[Birthmark]

4. As soon as I...

...get this Wayback Machine working, her hypocritical ass is going to be the first one in that sucker. "One for Middle Ages. Non-thinking section."

[DeSwiss]

17. Yeah,

and make her one of Edward the VIII ho's. Then all the history books will be magically rewritten about "the other wife" whom he beheaded...



edit: spelling

[Birthmark]

37. Beheading doesn't seem...

...like it would be effective with Dr. Laura. Let's face it: She can spew her crap from either end.

[SoCalDem]

5. Bull SHIT.. Some men cheat because

some men cheat ..There are probably as many "reasons" as there are cheaters..

[DeSwiss]

18. I always like to start my day....

...with a fresh bowl of logic. With strawberries if you got 'em.

- Thank you!!!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

6. S-S-S-S-PSYCHO!

:crazy: :silly: :eyes: :crazy: :silly: :eyes: :crazy: :silly: :eyes: :crazy:

[DeSwiss]

19. And one who carries her own whips and chains and stuff too....

[PA Democrat]

7. Why does she hate women? "dr." Laura is a charlatan. I can't figure out why people listen to her c

Men cheat on their wives for a LOT of different reasons, and to blame Spitzer's wife without any knowledge of their relationship is despicable.

[DeSwiss]

20. Why does she hate women?

Literally thousands and thousands of reasons.And here they are:

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

- And she'd have quite a ways to go just to "reach" despicable...

[Darth_Kitten]

35. Because her own mother didn't like her..............

could be one reason. :)

[Justyce]

9. She's a has-been who's trying to be controversial to get some attention.

She's always been full of crap...

[DeSwiss]

23. That's how I see it too.... n/t

[izzie]

10. I love that type reason.

I can reason like that also and when I do wrong it is never me that has done it. Good to live a life where one never has to face one fact on any thing one has done. My pearly while wings are still clean

[DeSwiss]

26. Plus you stay....

...on Yahweh's good-side too. None of that pillar of salt crap for the Doctor!!!

Of course it helps if you don't mind being http://www.bartcop.com/laura-naked12.htm">a grown woman in pigtails (NSFW)....

[Breeze54]

11. What's even worse is that NBC’s Today Show even had her on!!

I turned off my TV when she came on and started talking. I had a feeling that I should at least
try and listen because I knew it was going to be a doozy about Spitzer and now I wish I had!
I could have posted my outrage at her words that morning before everyone else! :P

[DeSwiss]

27. To give you an idea....

...of how disgusted I got with the teevee people, the last time I watched it regularly, Seinfeld was in its 4th season.

[Breeze54]

41. I haven't had any cable or satellite for 5 years... since 2004?

I can't remember. I know it was after the initial invasion of Iraq.
I was disgusted with all the 'news' channels 'Ra Ra' and Murdoch, etc.

But I still like to watch PBS and some comedy shows.

You're a braver soul than I am. ;)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

46. After the horse was let out of the barn, Al Roker spoke to 2 shrinks(?) to speak out about people

blaming Mrs. Spitzer. Not naming Quack Laura, he said there are people doing that and it's awful. The shrinks agreed. He should have had the cojones to mention Quack Laura by name.

[JerseygirlCT]

12. I wanted to punch her through the screen

What an absurd idea. And Spitzer's wife surely deserves to be chided for HIS bad behavior, right?

WHY do they put idiots like "Dr" Laura in any public forum?

[DeSwiss]

28. Its hard for them to tell when they're screwing-up....

...being that most of them are idiots themselves.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

13. Dr. Laura's talking out of her ass again. Call a real doctor.

[DeSwiss]

29. Dr. Phil??? n/t

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

44. I was thinking more along the lines of a proctologist.

[robbedvoter]

21. She's right! The trouble is always with white women - Kristol was right!

[DeSwiss]

30. Yeah,

and starting with Kristol's mom. Apparently he was dropped a lot as an infant. Probably all that gin she drank because of having to look at his face....

[TheCowsCameHome]

22. PS - Love the pix, Laura. Got any action videos to offer?

Let lost, you loser.

[DeSwiss]

31. I think the only "action"....

....she's involved in now, is running soup coolers overtime on the radio.

[Ian David]

24. "Doctor" Laura must be one hell of an animal in bed to be saying things like that.

Let's call her radio show and ask for specific things that she does to keep her man happy.

[DeSwiss]

32. Animal in bed, indeed.....

http://www.bartcop.com/laura-naked12.htm">See? (NSFW)

- I wonder if she had on braces????

[Ian David]

25. Everyone posting in this thread should chip-in $50 to hire someone to seduce Laura's husband. n/t

[DeSwiss]

33. $50???

You think it'd take that much????

[Ian David]

36. That's a good point. n/t

[Justyce]

34. Ooo, now that's funny...

:rofl:

[RB TexLa]

38. That is such bullshit, I don't need my wife to focus on me to help me achive anything.

[Eurobabe]

39. Right, it's always the woman's fault. Hearing this from another

woman who "supposedly" has a Ph.D. or whatever, truly makes me :puke:

[zbdent]

40. this is interesting thinking ... when you consider my RW brother ...

from what I've heard (from his former in-laws, no less), my brother's ex-wife had been screwing around long before they divorced ... and they both were quite right-leaning ... (wonder what that says about how he was satisfying HIS wife ...)

I also remember that I was out of the parents' house on my 21st birthday (I'm almost 45, married at age 26). He's 2.5 years older than me, married a year after me, and it wasn't until he got married that he moved out of our parents' house ...

Also, I ran across a guy who used to harass me in school ... he's still in his first house, just like me ... I bought mine, while he's still living with his parents ... oh, and he's damn proud of the job George W. Bush is doing ... and yes, he and I both bought used vehicles ... while mine was a classic 1976 Corvette with 30K miles and original engine, his already had the board in place of the bumper when he bought his ...

[Brewman_Jax]

42. Rather hypocritical of her

This, from someone who acquired her husband via affair and whose ph.d is in physiology, not psychology. :puke: On top of that, her counseling license has lapsed. :eyes:

[Orsino]

43. If Spitzer were dead, I'm sure Phelps would picket the funeral, too.

Birds of a feather.

[Iris]

45. Does she hold men accountable for anything?

And is that really her in the picture?

[bobbolink]

47. Conservatives blame the victims -- whether women, poor folk, or minorities.

It's their stock in trade.

[hatrack]

48. "He Lies! He Cheats! He Steals! What YOU'RE Doing Wrong!!!"
