The TV Show 'Scandal'
04/30/2015


Dear Dr. Laura: 

Just thought you might appreciate the conversation I had the other day with my 27-year-old daughter. I am new to Netflix and she had recommended the TV show Scandal, which the main story line features a 30ish-year-old woman who works for the president and also has an affair with him. I think the character, played by Kerry Washington, comes across very assertive and bossy. At one point my daughter said, "Her character is so tough." Immediately I responded, "Yeah, she's so tough she can't say no to having sex with a married man who is also the president.  No, she's not tough at all." I realized it was like your voice coming out of my mouth.  My daughter cracked up immediately and said, "You're right, she's not tough." 

Thanks for your show and your continued efforts to enlighten the world with your wisdom.
