Dr. Laura is a Misogynist

Women who hate women are just the worst.

I wasn't surprised to turn on 'The Today Show' and see Dr. Laura Schlessinger blame Eliot Spitzer's wife for his infidelity. After all, this woman has made a career out of selling out women. What I did feel was anger and sadness, not just for her comments but also for the fact that The Today Show felt the need to give her a national platform to spread her misogynistic rants.

Why does Dr. Laura hate women so much? Did the popular girls pick on her in high school? Did her mother not give her enough love? At this point, I don't really care about her motives, I just want her to shut up. Blaming a woman for her husband's infidelity is just one step away from blaming a women for being raped—they're both victims and should be treated with a degree of respect by the media.

Eliot Spitzer is fair game for all the jokes and media coverage since he was the one who broke the law, but his family should be off limits. Silda Wall Spitzer isn't a public figure; she's just married to one.

Here's hoping we've seen the last of Dr. Laura on this subject. Hopefully other media outlets will refrain from calling her soul mate in hate, Ann Coulter.

Can you relate?

From Rags to Middle Class. I am interested in writing a book, which is social commentary, and part biography.

The topics include family law reform, home ownership, education and zoning, the myth of the welfare queen, is Dr.

Laura a feminist, self help social programs, the pro per litigant, etc. I think that my story would sell and be

compelling. How do I attract a publisher to assist me in developing the book? Briefly, I was raised by a single

mom in subsidized housing in Detroit and was a high school drop out. Because of social programs, I obtained two

bachelor degrees in engineering, a masters in engineering, and now at the age of almost fifty a J.D. Also, I had a

child out of wedlock, and after having my child had to then pay for custody battles. I have owned a home in SB,

and have dealt with enormous hypocricies in the education system and zoning which are fashioned to favor the rich.

I am beaming with things to say and want my book to also have humor, but I need help to complete the book. How do

I go about attracting such help for my book?

SHE IS NOT A DOCTOR. Not in the mental health field. Whatever Ph. D. she has was never worked.
What's wrong with MSNBC? The FCC? She's a fake and must be investigated. She hates female troops and someone should expose that.

If she's not a doctor why would a network like NBC have her in a panel with her peers?
Dr. Pinksy loves her. She is what this country needs. I'm angry with the liars who try to discredit a good loving woman professional.
