Very hard to pick a most despised! I agree with Dr. Laura in some instances,
but her attitude is terrible, and I find her very abusive.

Think about this: she has about three minutes with each caller. Callers
often are in emotional distress as well as several layers of mindf*ck.
I've heard lots of callers who I believe wouldn't have heard a word
DrL said without some brash, unvarnished harsh truth spoken in no
uncertain terms. The fact that she's willing to take the blame for
being the bad guy tells me she's dedicated to helping the people who
call, unlike so many shows before hers that were nothing more than a
showcase for weirdos where the host said soothing nothings to placate
the callers and keep 'em coming.

Listen again, but this time, when you hear her sounding harsh, take a
second and listen to the caller and see if you could *really help* the
caller by being nice instead of honest. You might see what I'm talking
about.
