Following the major N-word controversy over the summer, Sirius XM Radio announced this past week that Dr. Laura Schlessinger has signed a multi-year deal with the satellite radio network and will begin her radio program in January. I usually get EVERY press release from Sirius but this one… seems to have been sent to everyone but me. Wonder why? As you remember, in August, Dr. Laura Schlessinger said on “Larry King Live” that she was going to step down from hosting her radio program when her contract expired in December, yeah right. Wonder if she was in talks with Sirius back then? Schlessinger gained media attention when she repeatedly used the N-word on air. On Monday, Sirius XM Radio announced that they were bringing the “Dr. Laura” advice program to the satellite radio network in January, according to the Associated Press. Although the specific terms of the deal have not been made public, it was revealed that she signed a multi-year deal. The author of “Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives, and The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands” officially ends her hosting duties on Friday, Dec. 31, reports the Winnipeg Free Press. She will begin her new show on Monday, Jan. 3.  It’s a logical move for her because now she can do the same kind of sh… she was lambasted for on commercial radio.
