First off, this has nothing to do with cars. But it's heart-warming, in a perverted kind of "Memorial Day Weekend" kind of way, and I thought we should share it with everyone. We all get some sort of satisfaction out of seeing the self-righteous among us crash and burn. The list of those who have preached to others and then fell into their own garbage is too long for even this BLOG. And they almost always do fail --- These folks are usually "strict with everyone but themselves", as a good friend of mine once put it. Dr. Laura Schlessinger (photo, being strict at the lectern and the right hand of god), the infamous (and, many think, obnoxious) "I am my kid's mom!" radio host who spends her days taking calls from bored housewives who can't decide whether to go to the bathroom or not without getting Dr. Laura's opinion on the situation, has had her share of troubles through the years. She got her first radio job after calling into a radio host who had one of the first "lifestyle" shows on-the-air, a man named Bill Ballance (Google it ... it's fun!). Ballance liked her calls and invited her to the radio studio. They slept together the first night they met (Ballance was married at the time) and thus was a radio career launched. When Dr. Laura, years later, wrote books, made speeches and gave newspaper and magazine interviews, she would sometimes mention her personal "thanks" to those who helped her create a career which supposedly nets her over $15 million annually. But she never thanked Ballance. Laura must have forgotten that Ballance had taken nude photos of her and he posted them on the Internet. So much for "Go out and do the right thing!", huh? Anyway, the good doc now goes on and on about her son, Deryk, who is in the Army serving in Afghanistan, which we think is all well and good. But apparently Deryk was out of the room the day his mommy was teaching values ... Because ... Well, read this (full story at: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-drlaura25may25,0,2920422.story?track=mostviewed-storylevel):
Radio talk-show host Laura Schlessinger is appealing to news media outlets to respect her son's privacy
amid an Army investigation into whether he is behind a lurid personal Web page that featured cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation.
The posting on MySpace.com drew the Army's attention after the Salt Lake City Tribune reported this month that the Web page was credited to and included photos of Deryk, the 21-year-old son of the outspoken radio personality known to millions as "Dr. Laura." She can be heard locally (in southern California) on KFI-AM (640). (Photo - Perhaps son Deryk has a collection of the nude photos of his mother, like this one, which were splashed all over the 'Net by a friend who got her started in radio --- And whom she dumped and never publicly thanked).
According to the Tribune, the Web page, which has since been taken down, included a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee, accounts of illicit drug use and a blog entry headlined by a series of obscenities and racial epithets.
Laura Schlessinger's publicist issued a statement Thursday stating that the Army "is investigating who is the actual author of the MySpace website." Army spokesmen in Afghanistan, where Deryk reportedly is stationed, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Oh, I’ll bet you won’t post this comment. America is waking up to exactly what the lefty blog stains are. A typical tactic of these losers is to invoke history, particularly when they’re trying to destroy someone. I’d like to see what kind of pictures we’d get out of this fat slob’s bedroom when he’s not scribbling snipes at some really good person. … Forget about it! Doctor Laura is on the fighting edge of professionals trying to straighten out an entirely screwed up loser generation. She shocks those full of “self” and makes people aware that their lives are devoid of God or any other morally constraining factor. What is this idiot doing for the world? Again, this type of blogger is a damn coward poking a knife at great people’s heels from a hole in his mother’s basement. These creeps hide behind journalist credentials but they are really small snarky character assassins with one hand on the keyboard and the other hand on, well, you know…
