Looks like she's about to convert to xianity, so she can appeal to a
broader base of rightwingnuts and increase her sagging ratings:

That brainless, money-grubbing ***** would convert to shintoism if she
thought it would help her make a buck or turn a few more proverbial
tricks on the airwaves.

What's up with this, is Dr Laura a backslider, or a heathen now or what?

Looks like she's about to convert to xianity, so she can appeal to a
broader base of rightwingnuts and increase her sagging ratings:

"Schlessinger began her program last Tuesday by noting that, prior to each
broadcast, she spends an hour reading faxes from fans and listeners. 'By
and large the faxes from Christians have been very loving, very
supportive,' she said. 'From my own religion, I have either gotten
nothing, which is 99% of it, or two of the nastiest letters I have gotten
in a long time. I guess that's my point - I don't get much back. Not much
warmth coming back.'"

"Schlessinger even hinted at a possible turn to Christianity - a move
that, radio insiders say, would elevate her career far beyond the 300
stations that currently syndicate her show. 'I have envied all my
Christian friends who really, universally, deeply feel loved by God,' she
said. 'They use the name Jesus when they refer to God... that was a
mystery, being connected to God.'"

Ummm....excuse me, but those giving advice are supposed to be leaders.

She's only demonstraining that she's a follower. She's only
demonstrating she's looking for a feel-good religion.
