Said to Have Included Graphic Depictions of Rape, Murder, Torture, Child Molestation, and Abuse by Himself and Fellow Soldiers in Afghanistan

On their sales page for Dr. Laura's book, Parenthood by Proxy: Don't Have Them if You Won't Raise Them (later repackaged as Stupid Things Parents Do to Mess Up Their Kids), the rightwing "news" outlet WordNetDaily writes:
A devoted mother to her son, Deryk, she identifies herself as "her kid's mom" because that's her most important job.
...
In her inimitable, straight-shooting style, Dr. Laura entreats parents to involve themselves in their children's hearts, minds, and souls, to cherish and protect them, and to commit to the essential task of teaching them right from wrong.
Looks like the faux doctor, one-time exhibitionist (graphic link very not safe for work!), American Patron Saint of Hubris, and her kid's mom, may not have done such a bang-up job in that "essential task of teaching them right and wrong" after all. The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that her son, Deryk, now stationed with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, is "under investigation for a graphic personal Web page that one Army official has called 'repulsive.'"
The site, believed to be Deryk's, reportedly featured "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" and was shut down on Friday.
Color us stunned.
"Yes . . . FUCKINGING Yes!!!," Dr. Laura's adorable little bunchkin began one of his blog entries on the site, according to the Trib. "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."
And in other Rightwing Hypocrisy news this weekend, former family values champeen and South Dakota state Rep. Ted Klaudt was arrested Friday "on felony charges that include eight counts of rape involving foster children and former legislative pages." The story is appalling enough that we don't even wish to go into details here, so be forewarned if you choose to click on the link.
Beyond that, go take on the day!
