She's gonna be very comfortable there, I think, in amongst the foul, loud-mouthed poltroons that inhabit Sirus Radio.
Sirius Radio: The Refuge for Frothing Racist, Homophobic Right-Wingers Like Dr. Laura
Dr. Laura left broadcast radio after screaming the n-word at a black woman. She'll soon join a host of homophobic, sexist, racist right-wingers on Sirius.

December 4, 2010 |

Last August, after an illustrious, decades-long career calling women whores, screaming about couples who "shack up," and attacking gays, Dr. Laura Schlessinger had to quit her radio show after hurling the n-word, 11 times, at an African-American caller. On Larry King Live Schlessinger announced that she would not let her First Amendment right to million-dollar paychecks and thousands of listeners be trampled by critics calling her out as a racist.

But thanks to Sirius radio, the flailing satellite company where Howard Stern has plied his craft (grotesque sexism) for five years, Schlessinger's hiatus from the airwaves will last exactly three days; that's the gap of time between when her non-renewed contract with her broadcast station runs out and her new gig with Sirius -- announced this week -- begins. Obviously she couldn't be happier, gushing "I can't wait to preach, teach and nag about morals, values, ethics and principles ... My brain is buzzing with new ideas for my program's content, direction and expansion, including guest interviews with people who intrigue and inspire me. I couldn't be more giggly if you tickled me!"

Giggly. Right. That's a picture I could do without.

Evidently, she's taking up where she left off, somewhere between vocal rabies and secondary syphilis, and won't have to worry about offending or angering anyone. Indeed, that's what Siris Radio does best and such things are encouraged.

Happy landings, skank. You've earned every bit of the disgraceful situation you, as a last resort because not even FOX wants you, now find yourself in.

Because a lot of stupid people want to listen to them. Anything that gets ratings get play. That is the only thing considered.

Yeah! that's true. Also, they like her are God fearing, homo/phobic/haters, on their way to heaven theists and they're so much more. By having a place to gather they can reinforce and validate their egocentric natures and reassure each other that anybody who doesn't see it the way they do are damned and going to hell, while there not.
