Just in case you were wondering if Dr. (sic) Laura Schlessinger has made any progress on growing that conscience…

Dr. Laura Blames Spitzer’s Wife

Eliot Spitzer loves him some whores! How did it ever happen? What drove him to risk his career and marriage? And what does it say about the rest of us? These are the big questions taken up by the Today Show, and look who they got to answer them! Dr. Laura Schlessinger, that’s who?

VIEIRA: Do you think women play any role in this, Dr. Laura?

SCHLESSINGER: It’s interesting. what you said about what men need — men do need validation. When they come into the world they’re born of a woman. Getting the validation from mommy is the beginning of needing it from a woman. When the wife does not focus in on the needs and the feelings sexually, personally, to make him feel like a man, to make him feel like a success, to make him feel like our hero, he’s very susceptible to the charm of some other woman making him feel what he needs. These days, women don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how they can give their men what they need.

VIEIRA: Are you saying women should feel guilty, like they somehow drove the man to cheat?

SCHLESSINGER: You know what, the cheating was his decision to repair what’s damaged, and to feed himself where he’s starving. But, yes, I hold women accountable for tossing out perfectly good men by not treating them with the love and kindness and respect and attention they need.

You know…I’ll bet that’s what a lot of prostitutes tell themselves when they see that ring on a customer’s finger.  I’ve no idea what is going on in that household right now, but it’s a safe bet that Spitzer’s wife is feeling all kinds of hurt right now.  And here comes Mrs. Morality and Virtue to pile on heaps of self righteous scorn on…not Spitzer for cheating on his wife, but on his wife for not sexually satisfying him enough.

You really have to wonder what gutter people like Schlessinger have crawled out of.  And…how big a sucker you have to be to listen to them yap, yap, yapping about morality.  And…why the fuck is our news media giving slimeballs like her a forum to kick heartbroken people.  I know…I know…   It attracts viewers and that’s money in the bank…
