Did Dr. Laura's Son Have a Deathwish?!

Posted May 31st 2007 10:43AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained a disturbing photo which shows a man, who could be the son of radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger, holding a pistol in his mouth while giving a "thumbs up" sign in front of the flag of Afghanistan.

The photo, which was featured on several Internet blogs, was supposedly ripped from a MySpace page allegedly created by 21-year-old Deryk Schlessinger, a Specialist with the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan. The MySpace page has since been deactivated.

TMZ has confirmed with an Army rep that a photo of a man holding a gun in his mouth did in fact appear on the MySpace page in question. The rep would not confirm the man's identity.

4. Dr. Laura is so smug that I'm sure she can get the kid in a rehab program. Stop yelling at other people's children, Laura!

6. If any of you auto-reflexive Dr. Laura bashers would take a few days and listen to her, you can stream her show from Drlaura.com, you would be surprised what a class act she really is. Yes, she prefers staying at home over day care; marriage over shack-ups; but you would find these values are better in the long run – even if you’re a liberal. She is even very receptive to gay callers and encourages committed relationships. If you actually read “Bad Childhood, Good Life” or the “Proper Care and Feeding of Marriages” and also “… of Husbands” you would find a lot of what she says hits home. So turn off your automatic hateful responses to her and give her a chance. If her son indeed is guilty of this, then have compassion for her and her son. He’s fighting the Taliban, and she’s fighting for better relationships and for our kids. There’s no reason to be so mean folks. Look at yourselves in the mirror and ask yourself what you have done for a better world.

12. i've never liked dr. laura. i think being a raving foaming-at-the-mouth psycho is bad no matter WHAT message you're trying to deliver. fanatism is bad people. i'm sure that, as unfunny as it is to some people, he probably did it as a joke. now, i haven't seen his myspace or anything like that so i don't know what he has up there but just by this picture alone it just seems like he was trying to be funny.

14. Dr Laura is a hypocrite...she broke up a marriage of 20 years, shacked up the man with depedant childrenand had this bastard out of wedlock. He is testament of everything she really is - a con.
