Role model Fox Dr Laura speaks out on role models. Madonna, Sarah Palin...

"Ya gotta love this" a Drudge [envirnomental] Report* from role model Dr Laura! When the role model isn't doing role modeling and role models, she is writing about abortion and Republican talking points. This week: "Madonna -- role model for women?" Laura asks... "vulgar, kinky, sex" she writes... something about a Rasmussen Report, she likes polls or poles.

From the A2, Santa Barbara News-Press Sunday, October 26, 2008:
Laura Schlessinger writes:
This and that and then some

McCain Pimps Out His Wife. Mother Laura, proud biker and Bush batman...

Roast A Pig
While at the Buffalo Chip Campground near Sturgis for the Sturgis Bike Rally yesterday, putative GOP nominee John McChip essentially pimped out his "C-word" to the rowdy throng.
While McCain courted [tits] votes, the strippers courted...er...tips

Right at home in buffalo chips, McCain will sell his wife again:
“I was looking at the Sturgis schedule and noticed that you have a beauty pageant and so I encouraged "C-" to compete,” McCain said to cheers from the (mostly male) crowd. “With a little luck, she could be on the only woman ever to serve as both the first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip.”

C- McCain is already serving a big chip but the "essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too" must have been a howl for the whatever-gets-you through viagra set.

McCain has found his level and he is making points with a Bush batman, Laura Schlessinger. Of course, the press touts the cool and rich bikers and skips over the decadence, criminal and corrupt. A lot like his inside Washington creed when he plays at maverick.

Lew Bishop and Laura Schlessinger have been seeking ways to keep young and relevant, biker "bad" and "cool" works for them and bonding with miscreant sons. They all "cool"?
[Deryk "I blame the cowardly boys that say 'I support the troops' and 'hooah' while real men fight and kill and die." Schlessinger scored a Screaming Eagle Dyna his 22nd birthday and un-deployment from Afghanistan, only to run a way from accounting for the military disgrace]

First we flew to Xiamen. Only because the plane tickets were free. The airline is so cheap they don't even assign seats. Having a plane full of Chinese and no assigned seats is dumb. But the plane was full so I guess they don't care. -- April 3 - 20, 2006

Xiamen - China's Showcase City

Summary: Xiamen, a special economic zone and one of China's show-case cities, spurns polluting industry and appears to enforce environmental rules more stringently and to have citizens more willing to follow rules than many other PRC cities. Fujian provincial and local governments embrace environmental protection as a means of attracting foreign investment. Once the front line for Communist - KMT confrontation, Xiamen like many Fujian cities was denied infrastructure investment funds during the 1950s and 1960s, but today benefits from a green field advantage. Tourists today can take speedboat rides skirting the Taiwan-held island of Little Jinmen. The old U.S. Consulate on the harbor island of Gulangyu is being renovated and will reopen as a guest house in Spring 1999. Unlike in Beijing, pirate VCDs in authentic-looking packaging and software CDs are sold openly in Xiamen shops. End summary.

Xiamen, China wiki
Xiamen and the surrounding countryside are famous for being an ancestral home to overseas Chinese and one of China's earliest Special Economic Zones in the 1980s. It covers an area of 1 565 km² with a local population of 5 million. It was recently named China's 2nd most livable city.
Xiamen was the port of trade first used by Europeans in 1541.
It was China's main port in the nineteenth century for exporting tea.
Xiamen was one of the five Chinese treaty ports opened by the Treaty of Nanjing (signed in 1842) at the end of the First Opium War between Britain and China. As a result, it was an early entry point for Protestant missions in China.

Xiamen Port is one of the top ten ports in China. It is a huge, deepwater, ice-free port that never silts up. Xiamen Port is located on Xiamen Island which is at the mouth of the Jiulong River.
Xiamen has a wide variety of department stores. There are also supermarkets run by Metro and Wal-Mart and the ShoeMart Shopping Mall which is owned and operated by Mr. Henry Sy a businessman who hails from the Philippines.

After coming out vocally in a blitz last April, Rob Lowe's lawyer Larry Stein clams up

"We'll be responding to this in court, which is the appropriate way."

"The appropriate way!" or is it "the missing document?"

Lowe's attorney, Larry Stein, wrote in a correspondence dated May 23 that the confidentiality agreement "is missing."

Lowe faces a lawsuit from a second nanny, Laura Boyce, who also accuses the star [wife] of harassment.
A hearing on the case is set for June 19.

"The Suspicious Nature of Rob Lowe’s Extortion Scandal"

Who's the real guilty party?
It was suspicious then and
more suspicious now
.
From day one it was scorched earth...
with a strategy meant to "go away", as Lowe attorney Stanton “Larry” Stein said,

The "go away" strategy was there from the start.

If "GO AWAY" was plan A, chef Pete Clements could be plan D... ?
Clements, with a wife, children and in a dire financial situation, is easy to spot for his vulnerabilities. It's also noted he left one job before having another.

Why make your public more curious ?

The Lowe's local history is insidiously entwined with the same friend who is sue crazy...
sue or threaten, intimidate ANY & ALL that mess with narcissistic image...
the woman uses the same lawyers as the Lowes, she will not talk to human beings... her scurrilous doings make major publications, headlines and the second documentary about her is in process.
The public isn't worthy enough to speak with her, hence she sends out lawyers to explain her communication style:
One of her legists let us know:
"Cease-and-desist orders are a form of communication!"

Is Rob Lowe any different from his friends Wendy McCaw and von Wiesenberger?

Miley Cyrus, too young for Rob Lowe, too old for Disney?

"'Do not sexually exploit minors.' You want to economically exploit a minor? Fine. That's a grand American tradition." Gawker

The Miley Cyrus Photo Shoot (video - VF)
Miley was wrapped not in a sheet, but a swatch of fabric. It must have been the come hither look that got the reactions.

Is the one Leibovitz image anymore suggestive than some of the parent approved products?


The Annie Leibovitz-Miley Cyrus- Vanity Fair-Disney World affair has celebs coming out to add their opinions, get on the bandwagon, work it...

Laura Schlessinger at the
LA Times Festival of Books:
"I’d like to take their mothers by the ankles and smack them against the wall”

By Thursday May 1, 2008 in the A2 segment of the Santa Barbara News-Press, she was more restrained. For a moment, reminiscent of the innocent Disney years [1950s?]. Schlessinger's shtick is at best promotional opinion "advice". The following is her opinion...

"Most parents of 15-year olds are pretty upset about this inappropriate [?] display of a adolescent exposing her body [?] in a vulgar way [?] and giving their own children the wrong idea of feminine modesty and self-respect."

She went on to ramble about Hillary Duff, SHOCKED! SHOCKED! SHOCKED! Laura is still annoyed by the 60s and choice
"Take that philosophy to your standard innocent and naive youth, and what do you get?..." "(venereal warts)" to "Planned Parenthood aborting babies for those little girls..." ...Btw...Laura forgets when she was old enough to know better, her squalid 3 years of career enhancement with Marine and radio pioneer, Bill Ballance.
...she clearly knew how to work it and owes it all to that capitalist spirit Mr. Ballance nurtured.
Sex 4 work is more then a 'shack up'.

Schlessinger: "That one look over Miley's shoulder, with her chest barely covered with a sheet, was an assault on the innocence of even more young girls..."
[No wonder Deryk Schlessinger is troubled]
Madonna: "Leave the poor girl alone! She's going to grow up soon, she's going to probably show her knees next — watch out!"
Madonna is also the mother of 11-year-old Lourdes, who — like seemingly every other 11-year-old girl on the planet — is a huge Hannah Montana fan.
Has Miss Schlessinger looked at Lewis Carroll's photography of pre-teen children?
This is a small glimpse.

Miley is a professional 15-year old.

This gig took months of planning and all participants were in agreement.
Miley is the one who is critically effected by the old style wrath. She's a beauty and will look seductive at her most unpretentious moments. Parents talk to your children and expose them to more art.

Who is telling the truth?

The world's biggest anti-nanny-day-care-baby-sitter physiologist, Laura Schlessinger, was right? Yes, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. She's adamant about NO NANNIES!! It's her religion.

It seems Sheryl Berkoff and Rob Lowe didn't get the memo. Their sons Edward Matthew and John Owen, were in nanny need at ages 12 and 14? Via Schlessinger's prism, Berkoff not only neglects her sons she might not be fulfilling Rob's man needs. This dilemma can't see a courtroom or the world will know the sordid details.

If the three employees are being wrongfully accused, they need their reputations restored. Rob survived sex with a 16 year old girl and more... he'll work again. Whatever he did or didn't do, he's doing fine in the PR world.

This dilemma is too big for a Hannity's America, the TV segment where you can e-mail the faux doc Laura and she'll answer a dilemma question with her opinion.

We have a question for Sheryl and Rob, why a gorgeous nanny?




In Laura's Sunday malarkey at Wendy McCaw's Santa Barbara News-Press she was on her warrior warp. As if anyone needs to be reminded of her disconnects. She who can't face reality or truth. As for her own "warrior" she is zipped when it comes to his photos. Pretending they don't exist means lies of omission and no accountability. BAD PARENT LAURA AND HER DERELICT!!!!


Deryk made his own deal with the devil and settles for being the willing prisoner of infamy and family fortune. Mommy dearest told Hannity she has a screen saver of a 6 month old baby Deryk on her screen, alleged b/c he's in danger? He's either staying in the basement at the Bishop/Schlessinger estate, celebrating (his platoon is home) or back at work in the states.

If you missed the White House Correspondents’ Dinner... here's a best correspondent with her photo of Rob Lowe

"I found it interesting how chisled and actually sort of pretty he is. People look different in life than they do on television sometimes, and he is one of those. His amazingly sharp features, which look awesome on TV, make him look rather wizened and sunken when standing up close. He also looked really tired."

WTF is up with Huff Post, Santa Barbara News-Press and Rob Lowe?

Just asking... in public this Lowe dilemma may not come to much. This might be about the disadvantages of being in the limelight.
Not employee issues, not prescriptions, not the well being of children. It's about sticking up for celebrity rights?

When should celebrity, friends and family get privilege in the media?

The irony of Rob Lowe's privacy [vacant lot address] sending Wendy McCaw into "meltdown" for what she wouldn't print to what she will print...
Has she mentioned the employees side?
There is a history of employee bashing with McCaw.
And the original nanny gate, Aianna Huffington, giving Lowe prominence. Helping pave the way for his one sided view to act like a legitimate item when the court papers are filed


[anybody can sue anybody and the rich will do it to intimidate].

Here's a comment from a disgruntled Huff Poster:

"Why was this story moved from the Entertainment page to the Home page? It got plenty of play last week when it appeared the day before Lowe filed his lawsuits against two former nannies, a former chef, and 1-100 "DOES", John or Jane. Its now been mentioned on infotainment tv shows. It was gone from HuffPost for a few days and now its back. Why? More press for Lowe and his sad tale of CelebritiesBeingTakenAdwantageOf.? Robbie, your sleazy past makes those of us who remember wonder what was going on in your household. And I doubt it was the fault of all your former employees. Get lost."

Today Monday, April 14, 2008, I couldn't find "Household Betrayal" on the Huff Post Entertainment page. Nada.

I'm not up on all Rob Lowe's filmology and I didn't know much about his child porn video until he started to hang with Wendy. She was having another child porn image dilemma where it looked obvious she did manipulate the media for her own gain. In the process she defamed a previous employee. This makes some in Santa Barbara curious, what is Wendy's MO? Not every celebrity carpetbagger has a porn connection. Certainly not kiddie porn. Rob Lowe and Laura Schlessinger, go figure. Every celebrity carpetbagger Wendy likes has porn connections. Is it a pattern with Wendy? Her friend, Michael Douglas, was also in rehab for sex addiction. No images or children that I know.

Yes, extorting celebrity is horrible and the paps go extreme. All of that is bad, very, very bad. This dilemma hasn't had many facts and who can know if, how or why the Lowe's were betrayed? Most of the opinions, comments and even media is pro celebrity, go Rob, fight for celeb rights.

I've heard Lowe's father is an attorney in Dayton Ohio. His previous experience should make him cautious. I'd think he has all his ducks in a row when it comes to contracts.

I've read where some people blame "democrats" b/c of the 1988 DMC convention kiddie porn video. [he is now a republican?] Where is there more information about his porn film? I recall something about he was a producer who made many porn films. In Atlanta he was caught with two of his films. Everyone says the Atlanta porn was Rob with two girls. One girl was 16, that was a problem, but not a big problem. He had lawyers and didn't have to do the Sex-Offender-Register for life... like the less advantaged.

The Rob with two girls story is a PR dream if the actual fact is this was Rob with another man and an underage child.
Whatever happens with the recent dilemma, a responsible journalist needs to take this beyond gossip and inform the public.
THIS MATTERS IF YOU CARE FOR CHILDREN.
Both Wendy McCaw and Laura Schlessinger use children as it suits their purposes. How will they handle this dilemma?
Someone sure seemed to handle Deryk Schlessinger's dilemma in MySpace when "the evidence" was destroyed.
Btw.. not one word from McCaw/Schlessinger about the image showing serious disrespect of our military. What about the children?
Schlessinger's speil is about guns, guns in school and children.
So much for gun safety.

If a non-celebrity had escaped the sex register but was on film with 2 girls or a man and minor having sex... later other dilemmas emerged...
How would that be handled?
I don't want to know about my neighbors sex life. When there are facts regarding children it's irresponsible not to mention the facts in a dilemma.
Local media needs to be held accountable for keeping the public informed.

Wendy P. McCaw's "BREAKING NEWS" moment...

as Wendy P. McCaw's "BREAKING NEWS" moment... BREAKS ! ! !
McCaw buys a lawyer to say
"This is, literally, like water off her back," Cappello said of the film. "Barking dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on."

The Santa Barbara I know is disgusted with the News-Press clowns. Like it's known, McCaw is cool and is moving on? Sure, sure, sure and she doesn't care. This is why her editor, Travis Armstrong had "BREAKING NEWS" March 7th (now changed, see capture below) on local media, KEYT TV, when "Citizen McCaw" opened at the Arlington Theater? Coincidence? If it was as Cappello spins "literally, like water off her back," we would have seen in print a light hearted take by a News-Press that had the balls to participate.

News-Press "BREAKING NEWS" about an office party video.
[ later date & title change: Suggestive, crude video puts KEYT news staff on hot seat ]McCaw's parties have more local fame. As Laura Schlessinger calls it, "shacking-up". I don't recall McCaw's exact words, she did send a before Christmas party memo to Ampersand employees. McCaw parties with her party rules to the effect, don't bring a date if you're "shacking-up" with them (McCaw and co-publisher and water master, Arthur "Nipper" von Wiesenberger, DO"SHACK-UP").
Yes, they
"SHACK-UP"
"LIVE IN SIN"
No Wendy caravan moves on with that.

Is Schlessinger outraged? What happened to her "no nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is" style? In so many ways she demonstrates her cowardliness. She is not her radio act. She is nonsense and tongue tied when it comes to truth. Her fantasy world about Deryk Schlessinger is most alarming since it looks most like lies and cover-up. She is not one to act accountable and now she teaches her scary son to be a NO COUNT for his "evil" deeds.

UPDATE: Laura's blog on March 18, 2008 on 6:30 am Is “Personal Responsibility” a Four-Letter Word?
“Personal Responsibility”?
NOT FOR DERYK SCHLESSINGER. More WHINEY book sales!

The Massacre of Musa Qala

"So amidst the din of warfare coverage,
the silences and omissions for
me are always the most significant,
the most troubling."



first photos: a small boy injured by
US/NATO bombs

Take a look at Nick Cornish’s series of photographs in The Times Online of some of the 6,000 UK/American/Afghan forces engaged in the recent assault on the town of Musa Qala, in Helmand province. They show their massive firepower: lines of armoured vehicles; men in full military gear dragging away bare-footed Taliban captives in ragged civilian clothes. An unnamed Taliban is lying sprawled out dead in a field.

Photographs in the press before the attacks on the “strategically significant town” showed rag-tag Taliban forces crammed in battered old trucks desperately clutching their small firearms. Against them, poised to attack, stood the full might of the most powerful nation on the globe: armoured vehicles, infantry, artillery and logistics backed up by “dozens of attack helicopters and ground attack aircraft”, as the Daily Telegraph reported.

How many Taliban “forces” were there defending the town? We will never know. According to the British military spokesman, Lt Col. Richard Eaton, just 200. other reports suggested 2,000. Whatever the figure, this was no “battle”. According to the headline in the Observer of 9 December 2007, “Fierce battles rages for Taliban stronghold”. Yet when the firepower of one side so overwhelms that of the other (missing the crucial cover from the air bombardment) is this not better described as a massacre, a form of hi-tech barbarism?

How many casualties did the Taliban suffer? Again, we will never know. Significantly Nick Meo reported in The Times of 11 December, after the Taliban had allegedly fled the town on motorcycles: “Fears were growing that there had been heavy civilian casualties.” Certainly, buried in all the reports was the news that 2007 had proved “the deadliest” in Afghanistan since the US invasion in 2001 with more than 6,200 people estimated to have been killed. All we know, then, is that the many many dead Afghans will remain uncounted, unnamed.

So amidst the din of warfare coverage, the silences and omissions for me are always the most significant, the most troubling.

Horror is mentioned in the coverage but the focus is on the Taliban. The Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, alleged that an unnamed 15-year-old boy had been burned to death on a stove and the town had to be seized from the Taliban to halt such atrocities. “Taliban horror had to end” is the headline in the Mirror of 11 December 2007. There is no such outrage over “our” atrocities.

In contrast to the silence surrounding the dead Afghans, British casualties are named and celebrated. Sergeant Lee Johnson, of the 2nd Battalion of the Yorkshire Regiment, died on 7 December. His commanding officer describes him as “a huge personality and supreme soldier”.

And in the face of the unspeakable horrors, the military mumble the absurdities of massacrespeak. According to Lt Col Eaton, quoted in the Guardian of 10 December 2007: “It is like a game of chess and we are moving the right pieces into the right places so they are where we want them to be when we need them.”

In this way the hi-tech barbarism of the assault on Musa Qala is domesticated and trivialised, reduced to the level of a game of chess in a strange jangle of words.

The YELLOW NOISE of Laura & Deryk Schlessinger

[ CLICK IMAGES TO ENLARGE ]
MEDIA PERFORMANCE:
“In our country, to get that result we have a dictatorship, we imprison people, we tear out their fingernails. Here you have none of that. So what’s your secret? How do you do it?”
After reading the newspapers and watching TV, Soviets touring the United States before the age of glasnost were amazed to find that, on the big issues, all the opinions were the same.

Laura Schlessinger is Wendy McCaw's Santa Barbara News-Press controversy and schadenfreude shining star of yellow journalism. Her recent hat trick gives fuel to the theories of back room smoozers and caballers (her DoD visit conveniently timed one month before the Army's completion of Deryk Schlessinger's military investigation).
Kidlet was not cleared and the odds that his friends set him up are slim to none.

It's more like from day one the cover up was implemented by all who had PR motivation. Does every soldier get this kind of service or the military has lowered it's standards?

Deryk Schlessinger Still Serving in Afghanistan

Lauraisms:
“My kidlet’s in Afghanistan,” she said of her son, who is deployed with the 82nd Airborne Division. “I wouldn’t have understood as much as I do now (if it weren’t for him). So I’ve taken it as my personal responsibility to get everybody up to speed.”
She also spoke with the managers at the newspaper where she writes a twice-weekly column, the Santa Barbara News-Press, in Santa Barbara, Calif., about hiring former service members. “These are smart people, mature people, focused people, disciplined people who should be hired as reporters,” Schlessinger said. “So if anybody’s interested in coming to Santa Barbara, Calif., … there’s a job waiting for you.”
So what did the military do with Deryk? Other than hide him from

accountability?
Are they making America safer?

Inquiring minds still want to know, what was he thinking?


What treatments and is the public safe?

Mommy dearest went on a brief hiatus last May...
Is The News-Press "The Recycler?" Monday, June 4, 2007

"Sunday saw the return of Dr. Laura's column to the News-Press after a two week absence. Her topics of discussion were abortion, "liberals" and free speech. Her lack of a local angle on either of these subjects highlights a common thread about those who have been hired by owner Wendy McCaw to write columns for the paper. None of them seems to be particularly interested in covering the local scene."

She returned to the News-Press as a little more toned down recycler. Her idea of local... leaves most locals turned off.

Santa Barbara's "Pravda" on steroids can't even take the wisdom of their leader and the proprietor of Lew Bishop's morning read:
"Rupert Murdoch's announcement this week that he expects to stop charging for access to the Wall Street Journal's Web site is the latest example of a publisher giving up on the subscription-based business model -- a significant shift in the evolution of online content."

Now here we are at the holiday season...
and this blatant disregard for the well being and safety of others

"When you're the mother of somebody in the military, you're the mother of everybody in the military. So all you guys, I'm expecting Mother's Day cards," Schlessinger said, speaking over the roar of motorcycles, before hopping on a bike herself to lead the procession down 11th Street to Fort Benning."

KingOf*Hearts* (Deryk) had this to say last May:
"I blame the cowardly boys that say 'I support the troops' and 'hooah' while real men fight and kill and die."
"SUPPORT THE TROOPS" ? ? ?

QUESTION: "I'm about to buy my first Harley but I have driven bikes
before just never my own. I'm wondering if the Screaming Eagle will be
to much for me? I'm 5ft 9 and roughly 210 pounds. I'm strong enough to
handle it but just wanted to know what some ones thoughts are."
ANSWER: "That really depends on your skill level. You say you have
ridden bikes before, but how much? If you have never owned a bike the
Screaming Eagle Dyna could be a handful for a first bike. It is a
fabulous bike, but mighty expensive to learn on and quite powerful
also."

Deryk vehicle stories are notorious but how much Harley-Davidson experience? She doesn't mention safety, it's more like image is what matters. Wouldn't being accountable mean something to her? He was crying out to America...
"No this blog isn't about me, it's to thank you America, bc of your unwillingness to compromise and pull your head cut of your *ss every unit deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan will serve a mandatory 15 months in country bc we have lost funding."

Are all US soldiers really "heroes" as the media insists?

According to Laura, you don't want to be on her warriors wrong side... after months of conditioning in a war zone soon he'll return a sensible Harley rider? She and Lew are into bikes, yet she doesn't actually get the noise problems. I'm no expert but they can be LOUD from a distance.

"least we forget"


Former News-Press editor Jerry Roberts' response to Wendy McCaw's infamous Sunday rant, is now posted on the L.A. Times' website.

"Godless crazy people like me have become a generation of apathetic killers"

The site reportedly “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.
