[Kathy in Cambridge]

I'm not sure if this is legitimate but it seems that some intrepid googler found a pic and a name. He DOES kind of look like Dr. Laura's son...

"Our intrepid agents, armed only with Google and a gallon of Night Train, have figured out who this brave young man is. Yes, the aspiring GOPer who kicked a female protester while she was subdued by only three Secret Service agents, then manfully denied his actions to a French television journalist who had the audacity to challenge him. It's Deryk Schlessinger (in an April, 2004 photo). And he is his mom's kid. Or maybe he isn't; some of our crack investigative team are agitating for additional resources before confirming."

2. Somehow I think that the true son of Dr. Laura

Would have admitted to kicking the girl and then told you why she deserved it. I like the allegation though. Where is his bong in this picture?
