The sorted tale of Pam Anderson and Laura Schlessinger

Laura Schlessinger, not a doctor but plays one, writes a column for Wendy McCaw's Santa Barbara News-Press Thursdays and Sundays. It's part of what Wendy and co-publisher Baron Arthur von Wiesenberger (better known as Nipper, suspected to be Nelville) calls a "transition". More like they are fighting workers in a worldview David and Goliath struggle. When Laura heard longtime veteran columnist/journalist, Barney Brantingham, had resigned over ethical issues, she called to ask for his job. As co-publishers easily smitten with celebrity, they jumped on her offer. Much to the exasperation of a community not aligned with her sham or preformance. WTF does this have to do with Pam Anderson? Not much. Other than it was a slow news day and we wanted to read what Canada had to say about Laura's November 9th visit to Vancouver. Canada not being as bamboozled by these "preacher" types. We were looking for statements, possibly a protest. Not. She had annoyed radio hosts at CFUN, for co-opting a comfortable chair and coming in with vast security. Downtown Eastside Enquirer blogged: "Foxman was also clearly annoyed by the level of security around Dr. Laura. He was relieved when she left because the police left. There had been barriers and rope around the radio station, as if protesters were expected. Later, when Foxman chatted on air with Libby Herman, producer of the Morning Show, he again raised the issue of the 'unbelievable' level of security around Dr. Laura. He got the impression that Prime Minister Stephen Harper could be "popping into the studio", it was that tight. In fact, when Foxman went to grab a coffee, he had to show his pass when he got sugar, then he had to show his pass again when he got cream. Herman asked jokingly if they had tested his Sweet ‘n Low. Foxman described the attitude of security as follows: "Who are you?" "I work here." "Yeah, sure you do punk." What's the security about? Another one of her publicity stunts? Did she get any Canadian media? The taxpayers covered the expense, do they know why? Here, where she lives, she is ignored for the most. She has a column, but the News-Press is rare to mention her. Her M.O. is publicity and "controversy". This is where Pam Anderson comes in. She and Denise Richardson were making Blonde and Blonder nearby. It seemed there was a total media blackout on Laura. People News reported on Nov 9, 2006: Pamela Anderson blames the turtle. Pamela Anderson has revealed the turtle in her new movie can't stop farting.
She revealed: "My animatronics pet turtle is hysterical. He keeps farting all over set. I can't wait for this movie to come out in May. I may have to bring him on our press tour. Farts are always funny." She said: "My pet is a turtle in the movie - animatronics of course. No real turtles are being used. No animals at all. It's an animal friendly set. That battle was won. Thank you." * * * * We couldn't find anything more about Laura. After Pam had a miscarriage and Denise Richardson flung the laptop, it was over. Laura's great security hustle was upstaged by a farting turtle.
