Crazy vs. crazier: "Attention whore" announces run for Congress

Self-described "attention whore" Cindy Sheehan, who as far as I know hasn't cashed a regular paycheck in two years, announced today that she's running for Congress, challenging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

In other words, the "ho" is back turning tricks.

From AP:

A tearful Cindy Sheehan cited her son, killed in Iraq, as her inspiration as she announced her candidacy Thursday for the U.S. House against Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

Sheehan last month said she intended to run against Pelosi, the House speaker, if the San Francisco congresswoman didn't move to impeach President Bush by July 23.

Sheehan said Thursday that Pelosi had "protected the status quo" of the corporate elite and had lost touch with people in her district, most of whom, she asserted, want American troops out of Iraq.

1970s fossil Daniel Ellsberg is among Sheehan's supporters. Ellsberg is the man who leaked the "Pentagon Papers" to the New York Times, and who inadvertently became a figure in the Watergate Scandal when "White House Plumbers" broke into the office of his psychiatrist, Lewis Fielding

If Fielding is still alive, perhaps the doctor can take on one more patient.
