Dr. Laura stands by her man comments.»

This week, Dr. Laura Schlessinger made headlines when she blamed former governor Eliot Spitzer’s wife for her husband’s unethical behavior, saying, “I hold women accountable for tossing out perfectly good men.” Yesterday, on Fox News’ Hannity and Colmes, Dr. Laura again shifted blame to women:

COLMES: Isn’t it the jerk who cheats on his wife? Doesn’t the responsibility lie with that adulterer and that man who makes that decision?

SCHLESSINGER: His responsibility for cheating is his. The responsibility for mistreating her man is hers.

Watch it:

When Colmes asked whether men who cheat on their wives were “narcissistic,” Schlessinger said, “No, the wives haven’t been respecting them.”

Transcript:

SCHLESSINGER: OK. The first part of that, which they left out, of course, was that I said if the man is a narcissist, a sociopath, bipolar, a number of things, all bets are off. He’s a jerk.

However, it is…

COLMES: Yes.

SCHLESSINGER: And you know, I was here for The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands.

COLMES: Yes.

SCHLESSINGER: And we discussed this then. When women do not –when women ignore, neglect, don’t nurture, don’t love, don’t kiss up, don’t do all those wonderful things to their husbands, they’re more susceptible. That doesn’t mean they are not responsible for their actions.

COLMES: Isn’t it the jerk who cheats on his wife? Doesn’t the responsibility lie with that adulterer and that man who makes that decision?

SCHLESSINGER: His responsibility for cheating is his. The responsibility for mistreating her man is hers.

COLMES: And just because a man cheats does not mean he was mistreated. He could just be a horny guy who…

HANNITY: Oh!

COLMES: Jeez, you never heard that word before?

SCHLESSINGER: And I said, if he’s narcissistic, sociopathic, then all bets are off.

COLMES: Right.

SCHLESSINGER: That he’s a jerk.

COLMES: And aren’t most men who cheat on their wives — fall in that category?

SCHLESSINGER: No.

COLMES: They’re narcissistic?

SCHLESSINGER: No.

COLMES: They’re not respecting their wives.

SCHLESSINGER: No, the wives haven’t been respecting them.

COLMES: Really?

Anne, I think laura deserves your title more than you do.

Why don't they ever ask her what kind of doctor she is? Last I checked a physiologist isn't who I'd go for psychiatric help.

I guess she just assumes that her audience doesn't know the difference, after all the words look similar and big words probably scare a lot of her listeners.

[Scribbler1]

She is a "doctor" as much as any talk show host is an "expert" on much of anything. She's just another well-paid, self important windbag that the morons in her audience listen to, to hear someone who will validate their own stupidity.

She is right, men cheat because their other half's are not fulfilling their needs.

A conservative blaming the woman when a man cheats. Classic !

[cronic]

........There will always be blame....Plenty for everyone.........
......................But the one doing the deed........................
.......................is the one held responsible........................

[Trish]

The one who cheats is responsible for cheating. However, there can also be a certain amount of responsibility for creating a situation where cheating is more likely. At least that is what I'm getting out of Dr. Laura's comments.

Let's face it - there are always going to be scum bags that cheat regardless of what the spouse does or doesn't do. There are also always going to be situations where the spouse is so self-centered and selfish that an atmosphere exists where there is so little intimacy, both physically and emotionally, that cheating becomes more likely. I think it is that situation to which Dr. Laura refers - not the scum bags that cheat like extramarital sex is a sport.

I do always find it amusing that so many "experts" can arrive at conclusions regarding a situation or relationship like that of the Spitzers without actually knowing the people involved. I really would like to know how Dr. Laura arrived at her conclusions as to whether or not Mrs. Spitzer was so derelict in her wifely duties that the governor was forced to stray or whether or not the governor was just one of the scum bags!

That Dr. Laura is unbelievably stupid. Everyone knows that the only reason the Guv sought out whores is that he's a democrat.

:ponder: HUH???.. lol..
I kinda figured he was just wanting to get his freak on :shame:

[Scribbler1]

NM brought up HRC, I was following up

you enjoy the pantsuits Bucko, not me.
Come on, the woman is SIXTY years old. She's never been a "babe" but she isn't ugly either. With your standards, I would pity your wife after she logs a few years on her face.

And I wonder where the esteemed "Dr" Laura missed the opportunity to criticize WOMEN who cheat on their husbands.

[Easy90]

What I find fascinating is how the libs here (and elsewhere) seem to be trying to spin Spitzer's little (Clintonesque) issue on Republicans. It's classic Lib-speak! LOL!

[DANG]

Republicans have whores too....Jeff Gannon had many overnighters in the White House.[hr]Prostitution should be legal.

Think of all the single men and women who just need a quick fix.....

Who dont want a lifetime ball and chain..... when all they really need to to satisfy a God given instinct.

If a man or woman cheats on their spouse it is not even illegal. Adultery is legal in every state. Its between them......the bigger issue here is the money laundering.

Everything else is just dirty laundry.[hr]Granted, the hypocrisy is damnable. That asshat REALLY tore into the escort industry.

More proof that it should be legalized.

Even those most vehemently opposed to it....are actually loving it the most.

He should not be allowed to retire.

Arrest the bastard....throw him prison he is the example of the laws he made. Give him the maximum sentence he has doled out.... then add a year. Not in a country club either. Dont subsidize his sentence with taxpayer money

[lily]

I wonder what Dr. Laura thought his wife was doing......not once, but twice when she stood up on that stage with him?[hr]

If I'm not mistaken, being a "John" or in this case client #9 is ony a misdemeanor
in New York.......I think the charges are going to be more of the money laundering and if he used state funds.........I could be wrong, I've been wrong before. The big story only seems to be that he got caught, after busting up so many others and the revenge part.

I'm still dying to know who else was in that book!

[cronic]

I'm still dying to know who else was in that book!


That could prove very interesting indeed
I also agree the issue will pertain more to the money laundering end of it.. or atleast it should I think

She is right, men cheat because their other half's are not fulfilling their needs.


If your "wife" ain't liv'n up to your "needs", then you drag her into counseling. You don't go out and look for a newer model for a second car. You work-out your problems, not compound them by making more. Your vows are for YOU to follow, irrespective of your spouse’s commitment or lack thereof.
