And if you don't watch out, This boogie man will get you

By now we all know about the Laura Schlessinger n-word-a-thon this week. Seriously, what do you expect? She has a long history of being intolerant and opinionated, much like Rush Limbaugh in drag. Her "advice" is often simplistic and demeaning to the women that call in, so why she still has an audience surprises me. I guess there are still women who need to be scolded for thinking on their own.

That brings me to the point I think others have missed. Jade, the hapless call-in victim of Schlessinger's weird obsession with "what blacks do" and You voted for Obama", was asking for help dealing with a non-supportive husband. Historically I think you'll find that Schlessinger almost always will side with the husband in the relationship, telling the women to suck it up and be a good housewife. It's anti-feminist dogma.

That she doesn't seem to do this in her own life is, of course, obvious hypocrisy. Kind of like Newt saying:

"It doesn't matter what I do," he answered. "People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live."

Moral: Don't be a morality scold if you have no morals yourself.

Note: I won't use "Dr." in relation to Schlessinger. Her doctorate is in physiology, not in counseling and guidance. And outside of the office, no one deserves to be called Dr. except for medical doctors.
