Schlessinger gives moronic snake-oil salesmen a bad name (and that has been true for years prior to this recent bru ha ha). But I don't understand the context of the sound-bite; is she saying she wants to be able to say "N*g*er! N*g*er! N*g*er!" without anyone getting on her case? I thought she had gone on her radio show the next day and apologized? Has she since changed her tune (yet again) and is now saying that there wa nothing wrong with what she said? Or does she want to do a Carlin and say SPFCCMT all day long? As has been noted by many, there were so many things about her recent berating of one of her callers that were worse than the maniacal repetition of the racial slur. Schlessinger has proven she can give offense without using bad words. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
