(Choice quote: "These days, women don't spend a lot of time thinking how they can give their men what they need."). Sure, it would be easy to rip Schlessinger a new one but honestly, does anyone really take this woman seriously? She's basically a humorless, post-menopausal Ann Coulter with a physiology degree. And she's been saying this sort of shit about women for a while now. Clip above.

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.
