Dr. Laura has gone natural (gray).

15. It is probably a small consolation, but I doubt that the beast has ever known the kind of fierce

loyalty that you showed on behalf of your friend. She just wouldn't attract that kind of person, nor would she be capable of returning the favor. What struck me as I read a few articles about her was the unanimous opinion from anyone and everyone who knew her/worked with her/screwed her that she was a monster, and they didn't mind having their names attached. She's left a trail of broken minds and spirits wherever she has been over her lifetime - what a nasty achievement.

I can't believe that instead of being railroaded out of polite society, this monster is embraced and worshiped by "followers". I listened a few times while on the road, and was horrified at her deliberate cruelty - you are correct, I also believe that she very much enjoys drilling into people's pain, at the very moment when they can't take it anymore and decide to reach out for help. There are almost no words for such a vile thing, yet she has made millions on the practice.

I hope you friend was able to put Dr. Laura's tirade behind her and find the peace of mind she sought by calling in. I don't believe Dr. Laura reads any of her mail; probably has assistants troll for good material for the show, ignoring anything else that won't give her a platform to bark like a seal for cash.
