Sarah Palin isn't so happy about the Dr Laura resignation

Although a number of people were happy to hear that a fast-talking radio pundit known as Dr Laura Schlessinger will resign from her long-running syndicated talk show, one woman wasn't quite so pleased. Former vice presidential candidate and Alaskan glam-girl Sarah Palin, for one.

Using the social networking site Twitter, she shot back at any notion that the conservative favorite would step back out of the limelight. She tweeted:

 The controversy surrounding Laura came after she verbally exploded in an on-air rant in which she used the 'n-word' eleven times. "b thankful 4 her voice, America!" Sarah Palin continued in internet shorthand. 


Dr. Laura is said to be one of the most listened to radio hosts in the country.

Dr Laura, in the middle of N-word scandal, ends show

Dr Laura Schlessinger announced on Tuesday that she would be ending her long-running show on talk radio in the midst of a controversy involving an on-air rant in which she mentioned the 'N-word' a number of times.

"My contract is up for my radio show at the end of the year and I've made the decision not to do radio anymore," she said on the show hosted by outgoing television icon Larry King. "The reason is I want to regain my First Amendment rights. I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is the time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates, attack sponsors. I'm sort of done with that." (WATCH HER INTERVIEW ON LARRY KING) 


"I'm not retiring, I'm not quitting, I feel energized actually," she said later in the show. "Stronger and freer to say the things that I believe need to be said for people in this country." She said that the huge public and press uproar that occurred following the rant was an infringement of her constitutional rights. 

"Living with the constant fear of affiliates and sponsors being attacked is very distracting," she argued. "I never called anybody a bad word. I was trying to bring -- and obviously it has become a national discussion now -- I was trying to make a philosophical point. And I made it wrong, but I wasn't dissing anybody. I was trying to make a point, and for that to say that I should be silenced is the reason why I'm saying to you that I'm obviously losing First Amendment rights."
