		<description>Dr. Laura really is one to talk about cheating. She knows all about infidelity. She&#039;s been married twice, lived with at least two men, had an affair, her son was born out of wedlock, and she&#039;s had naked pictures plastered over the internet. 

She&#039;s not able to make a religious commitment either - converted to Judaism in 1996, and then to Christianity in 2003. 

I would NEVER take advice from this person.</description>

		<description>Wow - I admit it - this is the first time I have visited a liberal blog.  Trying to be open-minded and trying to learn to be well rounded, I landed here.

Here&#039;s what I learned.....that I have never seen so many people use such potty mouths in my life.  If this is what liberalism is about, then I will have to choose to abstain.  

If &quot;thinking progressively&quot; means being angry, sarcastic, hateful, bitter and full of foul speech, then I have learned it is best for me to stay away from the likes of the people who visit here - because there is a very real threat of becoming like them....and I&#039;d like to stay a nice person who thinks sensible and rational thoughts.

What a sad realization to see such a deterioration and degradation of the soul...</description>

		<description>Dr. Laura, how backwards are you?  Do you still believe that &quot;refrigerator mothers&quot; cause Autism?  Please go back to school at an accredited institution.  Spitzer&#039;s wife is not to blame for his infidelity.  IF, he was unhappy in their relationship, the onus is on him to discuss it with her.  Paying for sex (and potentially exposing her to STDs) is not a mature decision.  Have you considered a differential diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder for Mr. Spitzer.  Do yourself a favor &quot;Dr. Laura&quot; and retract your ignorant statement before you jeopardise your career even further.</description>

		<description>I had heard about Laura&#039;s affairs before.  She slept her way to the top in the radio biz, and her current hubby was married when she began sleeping with him.  I guess she doesn&#039;t want to hold her hubby or herself accountable for their situation, so she rationalizes it with her kooky philosophy.

I also wonder if her hubby has smacked her before?  I want to smack her sometimes, but I don&#039;t think physical violence is right.  It would explain her take on violence toward women, though.

As for the nude pix, not gonna click on that.  The thought of Dr. Laura nude makes my stomach turn.</description>

		<description>So, LostInTheConfusion, when your wife doesn&#039;t put out, how much do you pay?  Or, is it, how much does your horrible wife &quot;force&quot; poor you to pay?  And is it safe or unsafe?  Inquiring minds want to know.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not a liberal.  I used to be a fan of Laura, but I really think she&#039;s lost it since a couple of years ago.  She really hates women.  She says women deserve to be hit by their hubbies because they &quot;provoke&quot; it.  Cheating is &quot;provoked&quot; by wives, too.  If women only behaved like 1950&#039;s t.v. housewives, she says in her book &quot;Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands&quot;,  men wouldn&#039;t  &quot;have to&quot; cheat or &quot;be made to&quot; hit them.  

In fact, women who don&#039;t agree with her magical book should never get married, as they would be &quot;terrible wives&quot;.  

Her fans say she&#039;s all for personal accountability, but when it comes to husbands, all bets are off.  All problems are caused by women.

This &quot;Doctor&quot; has serious issues.</description>

How about the logic that she considers herself a right-wing conservative and she&#039;s on the radio... can I call her a &lt;strong&gt;right-wing radio host&lt;/strong&gt; now?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Dr. Laura isnâ€™t an idiot, sheâ€™s right. You and others here are simply afraid to face up to the animal that is you, human.

Comment by Namtillaku â€” March 11, 2008 @ 10:59 pm&lt;/em&gt;

You think &quot;Dr&quot; Laura is RIGHT?  She is blaming Spitzer&#039;s wife for HIS behavior, and you think she&#039;s right.  Amazing.  

You know why he did it?  Because he could.  He got a little too full of himself, and he did something stupid.  

Maybe Spitzer had some issues with his wife, we&#039;ll probably never know, but he CHOSE to go outside his marriage -- she didn&#039;t force him.

&quot;Dr&quot; Laura isn&#039;t talking about any &quot;animal&quot; drives we have -- she doesn&#039;t know shit about that.  She&#039;s outright placing the blame on women.  

And you think she&#039;s right.  

Brilliant.</description>

Dr. Laura, Dr. Laura,

He thunk with the little head, not the brain. She may have married both, but how he uses them is his decision, not her fault!

		<description>You and others here are simply afraid to face up to the animal that is you, human.

Comment by Namtillaku â€” March 11, 2008 @ 10:59 pm

I am unafraid to face up to the animal that is me, I just think that Dr. Laura has no reason to comment on the marriage of Spitzer- and neither do you. 
No one outside of his circle of friends and family can possibly claim to know the &#039;reason&#039; that Spitzer strayed- it&#039;s undoubtedly personal.
I don&#039;t really want or need to know and I don&#039;t think it has any place in THIS discourse.
If you would like to have a discussion about why people do self-destructive things or why people are attracted to danger that&#039;s a different story- and a different topic.
Dr. Laura IS an idiot because she speaks authoritatively about something that she cannot possibly know anything about- that is, Spitzer&#039;s marriage.
And you&#039;re right- the Today Show isn&#039;t news- but then the Today Show has no place on television, and I DO have a right to say that, as a member of the public, and the show being broadcast on the public airwaves.
This is not news- this is tabloid journalism and it is worthy of criticism.
And Spitzer wasn&#039;t &#039;weak&#039; or &#039;seduced&#039; when the opportunity presented itself- he sought out the company of prostitutes, that&#039;s illeagal. That&#039;s what I object to. I would not be advocating that he resign if this were an aide or a journalist that he had an affair with- in that case I would say this is an entirely personal matter and we have no business wasting our time on it. BUT HE BROKE THE LAW- 
It&#039;s the ETHICAL violation I object to... NOT any claim of MORAL DECENCY.

 It&#039;s one thing to acknowledge that we&#039;re all animals- it is quite another to use that as a universal excuse for poor judgement and self-control.</description>

 â€œFurther, the Bible records that Adam lived for 900 years.â€
Biblicals have a lot of gaps to flesh out. Time-lines are just one of them.
Comment by Nevar â€” March 11, 2008 @ 5:29 pm
&lt;/em&gt;
bitbltâ€™s response is, â€œHuh?â€ â€œWell, maybe.â€

The Bible does record that Adam lived 900 years. This is not a calculation of generations. This is what the Bible reports.

Genesis 5: 5 â€œAltogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.â€

Later in Genesis in what is called the Table of Nations â€“ the offspring of Noah after the flood around Genesis 10 - the word used to describe father is also the word used to describe grandfather. So there could be gaps in these genealogies like Nevar says. 

This is not the case with the genealogies from Adam to Noah. These generations are like this:  the father was this old when he fathered the son. The son was this old when he fathered the grandson.</description>

Sure if I felt a need to make a case for the absurd. Do you have any problem with the creation mythologies of other faiths? What does Guiness have to say about the number of species ever placed upon a single vessel?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I have no idea what you are trying to sayâ€¦ what is it are about Dr. Laura that you love so much?&lt;/em&gt;

I don&#039;t &#039;love&#039; her, I just think she&#039;s right.  

Tell me, was it Spitzer&#039;s intellect that caused him to hire call girls?  Was it the rational anti-prostitution crusading AG in him that caused him to hire prostitutes?  No, it wasn&#039;t.  It was something else.  In fact, if it wasn&#039;t his rational self that caused him to do this (and you would have to think before this came up, this is one of the most rational humans out there), then it had to have been something deeper inside of him, something he couldn&#039;t control.

He&#039;s not the only example either, there have been countless public figures who have been caught, but how many average me around the world cheat? So this issue is actually quite a big one, affecting what? Millions of people?  I don&#039;t think this is a stretch.

So, we&#039;ve isolated the reason that a man might behave this way.  It&#039;s not his rational mind, it&#039;s a deeper, more emotional one.  This is something that isn&#039;t controlled by the rational mind (obviously, why would someone throw away their career over it - not rational).  

So, what you&#039;re telling me, is that this has no place in our discourse?  That millions of men &amp; women cheat on their partners for reasons that are mostly animal and not rational, and this isn&#039;t worthy of comment?

Also, since when is the Today Show news?  In my book it never has been, even &#039;traditional&#039; news sources aren&#039;t really news any more.  If you want real news, you have to find it. The main stream media has long since dropped news as one of it&#039;s functions, they are entertainment, and that is why you see Dr. Laura on the Today Show making these comments.

Dr. Laura isn&#039;t an idiot, she&#039;s right.  You and others here are simply afraid to face up to the animal that is you, human.</description>
