Well, duh. The caller WAS on her show. They could have bleeped the caller too.

They could have, but if they didn't have the common sense to bleep the word when Dr. Laura first used it , it stands to reason they thought the word was okay to use and wouldn't have bleeped the caller either.

Re: Was Dr Laura Schlessinger treated fairly?

I'm waiting for someone to pull advertisement for the derogatory use of redneck etc.

I'll not be holding my breath though.

lol, that would be interesting.

Probably won't happen though. Redneck does not have the same horrible connotation as the word in question.

"The reason is I want to regain my First Amendment rights. I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is the time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates, attack sponsors. I'm sort of done with that."

She's not retiring or quitting, she added, but rather, hopes to be "stronger and freer to say the things that I believe need to be said for people in this country."

And how is she going to do all that? Write?

She always has the option to follow Howard Stern's footsteps and be on Sirius XM - however, she did say she was finished with radio.

Re: Was Dr Laura Schlessinger treated fairly?

Dr. Laura was on Larry King last night, but I didn't watch it all.

From what I gleaned in the little bit I saw, she indeed will be writing. Her last show will be around Christmas...

What do you think?
"Dr." Laura is the WORST thing to happen to radio in the history of that medium. She is borderline verbally abusive to almost every caller. Why anyone would call her and ask her advice is a complete mystery to me.
