Well-known conservative talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger went all Michael Richards on a caller who reached out to her for help regarding her interracial marriage.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger hadn't really made waves or angered too many people in some time. But she made up for it on Tuesday's show, when the African-American caller talked to her about her home life. The caller said that her white husband often had talks with his friends that crossed some racial boundaries.

This triggered the Dr. Laura n-word dissertation, as she talked about how black people use the term all the time. In fact, she said it herself three times, when she talked about how it is said all the time by comics on HBO. But the caller took umbrage with her use of it later on.

The Dr. Laura n-word discussion then took another wild turn, when the caller said she couldn't believe Schlessinger used it. In response, Schlessinger said she didn't "spew out the n***** word" - but when the caller said she hoped listeners heard it, Schlessinger said the word three more times.

"I articulated the N-word all the way out -- more than one time," Schlessinger said in comments from the opening of her radio show that she posted on her site.

The former vice-presidential nominee and ex-Alaska governor Sarah Palin tweeted her support for Dr. Laura Schlessinger, who said she'd quit her radio show after coming under fire for repeatedly using the N-word while on-air with a caller.
