Dr. Laura gets weekly segment on Fox News.

On Fox News’s Hannity and Colmes last night, host Sean Hannity announced that on his other Fox News show, Hannity’s America, controversial talk radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger will be getting a weekly segment to offer advice and answer questions from viewers. Watch it:

Recently, Dr. Laura made headlines when she blamed former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s wife, Silda, for her husband’s involvement with prostitutes. Previously, Dr. Laura has disparaged “lonely” military wives, saying that they were “bitching” and “whining”.

    I’m generally in favor of containing all the nutcases in one place. This way, I only have one television channel I need to avoid.

    Fox News:

    The only sinking ship that the rats are climbing aboard….


  3. RUCerious says:

    What’s Doktor Laura’s degree in, again? Emotional traumatics?


  4. CitizenTwenty says:

    We don’t need Dr. Laura to tell us what’s what.
    We already know that any time some guy can’t keep his dick under control it is always his wife’s fault…
    Right?


  5. Vet says:

    The more advice she gives to the mouth-breathers who watch Faux News, the better off we’ll be as progressives and Americans.

    It’s just a certificate she printed out in publisher. Funny to watch people who can’t run their own lives trying to tell others how to live.


  7. RUCerious says:

    I’m certain she pines for the ‘good old days’ of ‘home correction’ for uppity wives.

    Right on! I love the v-chip! But just to be on the safe side I use the blocker on the cable box too! Can’t be too safe when there are children in the house who might hear the insanity from the religious stations and Faux Noise! ;)

    More mcmadness from fux and the reich winger’s..LOL……Blessings

    ahh, the female cheerleader of compassionate conservatism

    the male cheerleader of compassionate conservatism is, of course, our president…


  11. L. Hussein Annie says:

    Oh, goody. I can’t *wait*.


  12. Chris L says:

    This must be another example of the “liberal media”.


  13. KingCranky says:

    Dr Laura should probably focus more on her obviously troubled son instead of lecturing others on any issue


  14. 5th Estate says:

    Hannity has TWO TV shows?!!!

    and a radio show too..hmmm….

    half a reptilian brain dedicated to THREE “jobs”.

    it’s all beginning to make sense!

    If Dr. Laura doesn’t work maybe Bernie Ward could fill in!
    Lion of the Left BUHAHAHHAHHAH

    FOX lacks the courage, or the smarts.


  16. williamf says:

    She needs to work with Billy O’ first thing. Maybe he could use a little Haldol Dr. Laura, check into it will you.


  17. Menehune says:

    Someone that I don’t listen to is going on a channel I don’t watch. Happens all the time.


  18. oldtree says:

    It’s good to keep things that are known to be capable of harming themselves or members of their community in one place so that they can be monitored. One day, they will turn on each other and it may resemble news again.


  19. texaslady says:

    Educate me, is there one talking head on Fox that is intelligent and makes sense ? I try to watch opposing arguements but that station is like watching Alice in Wonderland.

  21. Shayne says:

    Fox News is the Nuthouse of television. When are they going to give Ann Coulter a show. We don’t want any of those psychos running loose.


  22. McWars says:

    She thinks that by telling men half her age what she thinks they want to hear, they’ll want to bang the shrew.


  23. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Good taste just isn’t even a consideration for these bozos, is it? It’s all about pissing off liberals.

    That’s what it seems like, anyway. Pugnacious and reflexive. No forethought or preplanning at all. Just wingnut welfare and more wingnut welfare/

    It gives the mouthbreathers a place for continual affirmation.

    FAUX Gnus

    Copying the horseshit Chimpy administration to a “T” ; hiring incompetents/liars/failures/cronies …………..


  26. RUCerious says:

    Gotta wonder what advice she gives the chymp for his horse milking problem.


  27. Buckie Boy says:

    Roll the vile ho in flour and you have a skank biscuit. Don’t look at her nude photos on the web, they will burn your eyes out of their sockets.


  28. RUCerious says:

    It does seem fitting the skankho would wind up on Fux.


  29. dbadass says:

    Dear God. Please make sure she keeps her clothes on!


  30. Doc Rock says:

    Will they be featuring her nude photos in the best of Fox’s tradition of tastelessness and appealing to the prurient?


  31. FunMe says:

    I always wondered how semi-normal looking CRAZY people “think”.

    Now I know.


  32. lcmartin says:

    It doesn’t surprise me that someone claiming to be a doctor works for a network that claims to be “fair and balanced.”
    A “faux” doctor working for “Faux News”. Hmmm…


  33. dasm says:

    Dr.Laura- Coulter’s evil twin. How anyone can watch Fox with these sorts of “experts”— experts = angry, bigoted, anti-Jesus losers– is beyond any sane person. The bile, hatred, bigotry of the Fox group makes me laugh, only when I hear them think that they are somehow Christian or understand Jesus’ wishes. Jesus meant love, acceptance, & understanding. These people mean hate & exclusion. They are truly pathetic– worthy of pathos.


  34. Freedom Rebel says:

    God’s commandment of honoring parents is basically the message that parents are a conduit of God. Any profanity or harm to the parent is as if we’ve profaned God.”

    “The commandment to honor parents was given to ensure that the elderly, although they may not feel wanted by family or society, are still given their appropriate reward.”

    “We honor parents today by making sure they are taken care of when they can no longer care for themselves.”

    “We honor parents by keeping them connected to family.”

    SOURCE: Dr. Laura Schlessinger “The 10 Commandments: The Significance of God’s Laws in Everyday Life.”

    Clearly, in the four years since publication of this book, Mrs. Schlessinger determined that God’s annoying commandment to honor her mother was simply too onerous to be bothered with!

    Maybe next time Dr. Laura Schlessinger wishes to regale her listeners with a heart-warming story of responsibility, she will think of her mother, if only for the novelty. As most of you know, Dr. Laura’s 77-year-old mother was found on the floor of her condo after quietly decomposing into her carpeting for several months, not far from her famous daughter’s radio studio.

    WOW>> Never listened to her, never watched her on TV. Just heard she said vile things like Ann Coulter.. But after finding this out on a simple goggle search, I think she absolutely, positively fits right into FOX.

    Great cast of characters they have at Fox, narrow minded, self-centered, deluted, egotistical jerks…


  35. Freedom Rebel says:

    I forgot to add cold-blooded and liars


  36. ForTruth says:

    Is she going to be discussing nutrition? Because that’s what her Doctorate is in. LOL.


  37. Max-1 says:
