A gruesome scene has unfolded on North Palm Drive in Beverly Hills where Dr. Laura Schlessinger's mother has been found dead -- with the body going undiscovered for months!

Wow... where has Dr. Laura been?

Not that she was involved, but wouldn't you contact your mother every few weeks or months???

She's too busy telling other people how to live their lives, probably.

 

[ThePresence]

The fact that she's Dr. Laura's mom is irrelevant. She was a human being who was dead for months.

 

[Lola]

Sounds kinda weird...i wonder what happened...:Q

On a related note, Dr. Laura is a hypocritical bitch.

Yeah, this puts a little perspective on her relationship advice.

I don't really know much about Dr. Laura, but on what has she "put on a false appearance of virtue or religion"?

For most of her life, she was not religious and described herself as a feminist. Her harsh criticism of premarital sex and promiscuity came back to embarrass her recently when a former boyfriend sold nude pictures of her in 1975 to Hustler magazine, which were later posted on the web.

Her listeners might be surprised to learn that Dr. Laura herself is a divorcee. She began dating her second husband, Dr. Lew Bishop, while he was still married. They lived together for several years before marrying. Although she admonishes working mothers, she worked part-time after her son, now 14, was born. She preaches about the importance of family but has been long estranged from her own mother and sister.

Show's how much she cares about her mom:disgust:

Unless they had some kind of argument and decided not to talk to each other any more, I think it's pretty f*&ked up for her to be there for months w/o someone looking for her:|:|:|

 

[Queasy]

She preaches about the importance of family but has been long estranged from her own mother and sister.

Well, unfortunately, that would explain why her poor mother was left in such a state for so long. Hard to believe that nobody else noticed for that long though.

 

[Stark]

She hasn't had any contact with her mom for some time.

The fact that NOBODY noticed she was dead might say something about the kind of person the woman was.

My wife's grandmother is a nasty old woman. If nobody hears from her for a few months, they wonder if she's dead in her house filled with crap.

 

[Scarpozzi]

I wonder if her bird was a buzzard... :Q

Interesting. Now, where has she said that:

1. She was always religious
2. She was never a feminist
3. She never had premarital sex
4. She was never divorced
5. She never dated while officially married
6. She never shacked up
7. She never worked
8. Her family is a shining example of all family should be

If she did, then you are correct to call her a hypocrite. But, Fred, if she never claimed the above she is not a hypocrite. I imagine that we all have made mistakes in the past that we would not duplicate today. When I talk about wise financial management, I am not a hypocrite because 10 years ago I owed 20K on credit cards. I learned my lesson and changed my ways. It is also possible to advocate virtue that one does not currently possess. A fat guy that tells you something about proper diet isn't a hypocrite, he's just weak. Once again, here I speak from experience.

i think you've confused "liar" with "hypocrite". most people use the term "hypocrite" to indicate someone who does not practice what they preach.

Well, any of these idiots giving relationship advice need a swift kick in the ass.

Since you've got your words in for Laura, look at Dr. Phil. Married how many times?

READ: I don't want any bad publicity over this so I'll just say my mom turned her back on us.

 

[Karsten]

Sad, but people make choices. I have not had contact with my Dad for about a year. He could be dead for 8 month and I might not know it. Sad... yes, but commen and not a show of character in my book!

Nice try Laura. It would have been better if she didn't try to pin this happenstance (first time in my life I ever used this word) on her mother?s attitude towards her hypocritical daughter.
