One more vote for this initial reaction.

My mom's a regular listener, and I've often found myself responding out loud, "What the hell? That's not necessarily true." But while I think that Dr. Laura's advice is sometimes ridiculously black and white, I've never felt that I was listening to a fundamentalist. Just a religious person who doubts the seriousness of extramarital commitments.
And she
has given good advice, at least by my watch. It's often when the caller is excessively mired in a 'shades of gray' mentality and needs some clarity.

I must be missing something. Is this just a reaction to her nude pictures being out of sync with her stated morals, or is this just a reaction to her morals being less than palatable to you, or did she kill a hobo while I wasn't looking?
