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.

Fuck Dr. Laura. I hate her.
I don't blame the woman. I blame Larry King for everything.
I refuse to watch her on the grounds that I'm in a pretty decent mood right now and I know I won't be if I watch her spew her hypocritical shit.
This woman irks me to no end. She's a nasty excuse for a human, let alone a woman. I wouldn't be surprised if her children were nasty bigots, what else could they learn from her? As for Lohan, what talents?!
Hate. Her.
And just last night, I complained that Nancy Grace was a politcal Dr. Laura. I'm so glad I read that cute story about the doggie's beloved ex-kitten first to cleanse the palate.
Is she like Dr. Phil? or is she a real doctor.
@stacyinbean: oh shiiit. you best not speak ill of Lohan. youre gonna get it!
Dang. I wanted to see this purely for the irony of her explaining why celebutards should not be flashing their ladybits, since she was my *first* with the candid, nasty photos of her that were posted all over the internet.
In a word: Repulsive.
Her show broadacasts around bedtime, so if I flip the radio on while I'm getting ready for bed I hear her bullshit. I have to brush my teeth extra good to get the bad taste out of my mouth.
Her head looks like an eraser. And like an eraser, I want to rub it into a nub.
(wait, is that breaking the resolution? ...For Dr. Laura it may be worth it)
@ineffable.me: I almost put in a disclaimer for BAngieB! I guess she could have become a good actress, Mean Girls was pretty fantastic, I just know Georgia Rule blew hard, and her singing career...
I will say, she is VERY pretty (with red hair!)
@stacyinbean: lol. Laura is a nutcase! Growing up my mom used to make me listen to her and I new she was batshit back then, too.
Ugh. I wish she would just crawl back under whatever rock she's been beneath the last year or two and stop polluting the airwaves with her misogynist haterade. Oh, nevermind, I never, ever watch Larry King anyway. As you were...
What is that thing? And why does it hate women?
One of the most annoying "rules" she has is that you can't date while your kids are under 18. So if you get divorced or are widowed when your child is 3, you have 15 years before you can even THINK about dating. She says "it's not your kid's fault you picked the wrong man".
I've been trying to forget her. She should be on "I Love the 90's!" - that's when I was forced to listen to her in the car with my mom.
...maybe she should be featured on "I Hate the 90's." Someone call VH1!
Oddly, the thing I find most shocking about this is that she has a son - proof that someone had sex with her at least once.
@Sev: Eh, I say not a violation of Jezzrule 08. I think it's her hair and makeup and hateful personality that makes her head look like an eraser. All fair game.
@stacyinbean: hahahaha. i think its hilarious that I actually care about being scolded by someone on the internet hahaha. but yeah, she totally had promise, my tina fey wouldn't have picked her otherwise.
Her hair is very reminscent of Carol Channing. I think that says enough.
she is one of the only people i have ever wished ill upon. and by that, i hope one day she gets caught in some sort of massive scandal and ends up being hooked on meth and living in a trailer with 30,000 cats.
My mom listed to her radio show when I was in the sixth grade - I remember hearing Dr. Laura announce that it's okay to be gay as long as you don't have sex. Because it's the sex that's the real crime. As a sixth-grader I thought that was stupid.
@titania1285: Now, why you gotta wish ill upon cats that way?
Oh my goodness, I'd thought she'd finally crawed under a rock and decided once and for all to keep her negativity to herself.
Dr. Laura hates librarians. Fuck Dr. Laura.
There is a word for her that I am too lady-like to use, but it starts with a c. You fill in the blanks.
@stacyinbean:
Am I the only one who really liked "herbie"? Anyone?
No surprise that this hateful wench's son is such a hateful jerk.
@RosemaryF: She'll be able to afford food and vets, and the cats can keep each other company! Just imagine her scooping a football field size litter box for the rest of her days!
I mean, really? She gets paid for voicing that ignorance? How did that happen?
@bowlingfordollars: Dr. Phil, meet Dr. Laura -- Dr. Laura, meet Dr. Phil. Now if the two of you will stand in front of the firing squad please...
Larry King probably had her on since he's been married about eleventyjillion times, so "it's all the woman's fault" sounds good in his man-brain. Maybe the two of them should shack up.
BTW, did anyone ever watch her show? God, if that didn't get my teenaged ire up, I don't know what did.
Bile and venom are all that I see when she's on a screen/airwaves.
I get the same reaction from Rush and O'Reilly.
@hammerimissu: me too! my mom thought/thinks Dr. Laura has it all together...she even sent me some Dr. Laura book on 'keeping your marriage together' or some shit like that for my wedding anniversary. When we got it, I just looked at my husband and was like, 'huh, I was unaware we were having problems...'
Interesting that child molestation would be depicted on her son's page given her much publicized likening of homosexuals to pedophiles.

@Belladonna77: No! Don't bring Carol into this, please. It's not her fault that her hairdo was misappropriated for evil.
@s0sarasaid: "I Hate the 90's"? GENIUS IDEA. Maybe not an hour dedicated to each year, but a 1 hour special for the entire decade.
I have never been more afraid for my niece's future sanity and well-being than when I found a copy of one of Dr. Laura's books on my sister's bookshelf.
American TV personalities are funny.. I mean she's being ironic on purpose as a form of entertainment, this is sort of like Stephen Colbert's conservative act.
Right? ...Right?
Oh god.
@ineffable.me: I think she has a PhD in a non-counseling field (physiology). Dr. Phil, however, is a psychologist. Strange, but true.
Hypocrite. Hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite.
@Tocsin: I wish. Sometimes I think that about Michael Savage, and then I realize that I have way too much hope in humanity.
@TruculentandUnreliable: Heaven help everyone if there is ever a post about that man. I lose my mind over his mere existence on this planet.
"...i am my kids mom..." blech...go fall on a knife...
@TruculentandUnreliable: Cretin? Churl? Cruel? Callous?
My first inclination is to lock Dr. Laura and that dickhole with the "No Chubbies" gym together in a time capsule, without food or water, and bury them for the next five hundred years or so? However, my fear is that they, like roaches, will not only still be alive when they are uncovered, but will have reproduced.
dr. laura, you are a poor, sad imitation of my own personal satan, phyllis schlafly.
@WaltzingMatilda: Yep- you're right. No formal training in her field. At least she went to a real school (Columbia), unlike that Men are From Mars guy and his online diploma-mill degree, but still, it sticks in my craw how much credibility she's ascribed.
Sorry, I'm heading back to look at puppies snuggling with kittens.
@summerwheatley: My mom was a fan of Dr. Laura's too. She never made me listen to her or read her books (thank god) but she loved her column. We used to fight about it. I'd be like, "Mom, you divorced my husband, you have boyfriends, and you're raising a kid with NO MONEY! This woman HATES you!" and she'd be like, "but she gives such good advice on money!" and I'd just roll my eyes.
@fivehole: Oh! I withdraw my comments and second yours.
Er, "divorced YOUR husband". Not mine. Don't have one (thank god).
@TeenageGangDeb:
Your mom divorced YOUR husband?
Dr. Laura would not approve, but Jerry Springer might have a chair for you.
