Dr. Laura apologizes for using slur...11 times

Radio talker Laura Schlessinger was counseling an African American caller the other day and somehow found a way to use the n-word 11 times. Schlessinger apologized in the opening of the next day's show and on her website.

I talk every day about doing the right thing. And yesterday, I did the wrong thing.

I didn’t intend to hurt people, but I did. And that makes it the wrong thing to have done.

I was attempting to make a philosophical point, and I articulated the “n” word all the way out - more than one time. And that was wrong. I’ll say it again - that was wrong.

I ended up, I’m sure, with many of you losing the point I was trying to make, because you were shocked by the fact that I said the word. I, myself, realized I had made a horrible mistake, and was so upset I could not finish the show. I pulled myself off the air at the end of the hour.
