Mike Malloy Fans: Last night he was talking about Dirk
Schleshinger, something about torture. But I missed the details. I googled his name, but nothing came up. Anyone know what Mike was talking about?

Thanks!

1. I think he must have been talking about Derek Schlessinger,
Edited on Tue May-22-07 02:29 PM by SCRUBDASHRUB
Dr. Laura's son. I heard something about this on the news. He had some really disturbing stuff on his myspace page or something like that (rape, molestation, etc.).

Dr. Laura's Son Undergoes Investigation for illicit Web page

Local radio personality and Family Counselor Dr. Laura may have some family issues of her own to deal with.
The Army is looking into whether her son posted images of rape, torture and child molestation on-line.
Military Officials say "the enemy" may have put the alleged pictures on Deryk Schlessinger's MySpace web page.
If investigators find the allegations to be true, Army officials say discipline could range from a letter of reprimand to a case going to The Court Marshal.

3. n/p
Before I knew who she was, in terms of her politics and realizing my own, I actually used to listen to her and buy her books in the early and mid 1990s. What the hell was I thinking?!

6. Not to mention she was not on speaking terms with her own mother and didn't know for days that she
had died. I listened to her for a short time, before I caught on that she is a raging homophobe and ultra conservative, not to mention a hypocrite, the kind of person I normally work hard to avoid.

8. "The Court Marshal" WTF?
I know military jargon can be a complex language unto itself. But it really chaps my hide when "journalists" write about military affairs and can't get something as simple as Courts Martial correct.

5. It's 'Deryk'. Malloy was playing with the spelling
I guess Dr. Laura is one of those people that likes common names with uncommon spellings. Like her son needed a unique first name with a last name like "Schlessinger". "Smith", yes, "Schlessinger", no.

7. Dirka-dirka
Sorry, but it wouldn't leave my head all the time Malloy was talking about him.

(If you haven't seen "Team America" you probably won't get the reference.)
