Here's a snip from Dr Laura's website about a call I heard her take today:
I always tell my listeners when they mess up, they need to follow the four Rs: take responsibility, have true remorse, try to repair it, and dont repeat it. Yesterday, I messed up. I used the n word on-air, and I regretted it as soon as the call was over. While it was in the context of making a point about the unfortunate use of that term by others who deem it acceptable or funny, it is a word that is hateful, hurtful and I should not have used it even to prove a point. After the call, I was terribly upset about it and after that hour of the program concluded, pulled myself off the air for the rest of the show. Today, at the top of my program, I will apologize to my listeners.
I agree with her on about 80% of the issues but I was and still am shocked. She also refered to the fact that Obama got elected with a lot of white votes and 'you're still not happy.'
Her apology is a class act- I wonder if she needs to pull back, she's been awful edgy lately on her show!
