The soldier son of talk radio relationship counselor Laura
Schlessinger is under investigation for a graphic personal Web page
that one Army official has called "repulsive."
The MySpace page, publicly available until Friday when it disappeared
from the Internet, included cartoon depictions of rape, murder,
torture and child molestation;
photographs of soldiers with guns in their mouths;
a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned "My Sweet
Little Habib";
accounts of illicit drug use;
and a blog entry headlined by a series of obscenities and racial
epithets.
The site is credited to and includes many photographs of Deryk
Schlessinger, the 21-year-old son of the talk radio personality known
simply as Dr. Laura.

She broadcast a show from Fort Douglas, in Salt Lake City, last week.
Military leaders have long grappled with how to balance positive
publicity and operational security with technological opportunities
for troops to tell their personal stories.
The Pentagon last week shut down access to a variety of video-sharing
and social networking Internet sites, including MySpace, on its
computer systems worldwide.
Officials said the change was made to enhance security and protect a
strained bandwidth, but critics worried that it might close a public
window into the lives of deployed U.S. troops, some of which can be
raw, frightening, violent and revealing.
"Yes . . . F---ING Yes!!!" said one blog entry on the Schlessinger
site.
"I LOVE MY JOB, it takes everything reckless and deviant and
heathenistic and just overall bad about me and hyper focuses these
traits into my job of running around this horrid place doing nasty
things to people that deserve it . . . and some that don't."
Deryk Schlessinger joined the Army in 2004, telling a crowd of Santa
Barbara, Calif., Army reservists gathered for an appearance by his
mother that he resented the way Americans criticize the war without
recognizing soldiers' sacrifices.
"Real people were fighting, and I wanted to be part of that," the
younger Schlessinger said, according to The Associated Press.
Since Deryk Schlessinger deployed earlier this year, his mother's talk
show increasingly has been focused on the battles being waged in Iraq
and Afghanistan and the wars' effects on families back home.
Meanwhile, the radio host has taken to referring to herself as "the
proud mother of a deployed American paratrooper" and speaks frequently
about her soldier son before military audiences nationwide.
Deryk Schlessinger did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment from
The Tribune.

Undoubtedly, the poor boy is suffering from the effects of seeing his mother's
highly publicized naked spread-beaver shots taken before she became the Virgin
Mary of right-wing radio. Those and other nude pics were all over he web at one
time and helped out the ***** as a screaming, hypocritical harpy with as much
right to judge others as a crack *****.
