Dr. Laura Blames Whiny Women, "Defends" Her Soldier Son


Remember Dr. Laura? Well, she turned up on Larry King Live last night, where she held forth on everything from Britney (bad parent) to Lindsay (wasting her talents) to Hillary (so what if she cried?). In addition to questions about famous females, viewers solicited advice from Schlessinger on domestic disputes, and we noticed something a little funny, namely, that Schlessinger's answer for everything was blame the woman. (Sound familiar?) Her indignation took a turn for the, uh, different, however, when she was asked about her soldier son, Deryk, and reports that he created a MySpace page that included "cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation" and "a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned 'My Sweet Little Habib'", among other things.



"Oh gosh, I can't believe you brought up something that was in the National Enquirer and in one tiny newspaper that had a grudge against me," she protested. "One tiny newspaper"? Uh, we checked Nexis, and, found, among other news sources reporting on the story, the Washington Post. Clip of Dr. Laura on women and domestic disputes, above.
