Lynn Woolsey is a complete and utter fraud

Unless they suffer form a peculiar assortment of incompetences, the readers of this article will be familiar with Cindy Sheehan. I believe my boss beat me to the punch in publicly excoriating her, so I shouldn't have to do that here. It is less likely, however, that they should be acquainted with Tina Phan, a young woman and Terra Linda native. It is also likely that they would not immediately understand the connection between the two, or why Cindy Sheehan was invited to the State of the Union address and Tina Phan wasn't.
In July of 2003, Tina Phan was raped by what could be another fine Marin County Democratic politician, Stewart Pearson. Actually, first he subdued her with a knife and a rag drenched in a mixture of Ajax and toilet bowl cleaner, then he raped her. According to the charges maintained over the months it took for the courts to convict this sterling achievement for socialization, Stewart Pearson intimated that such was not his first jaunt into sexual brutalization and would not be his last.
Well, it wouldn't be his last so long as Mommy's well-seated friends in the Democratic Party had anything to say about it. And by well-seated friends, I mean the Representative of California's Sixth District, Democrat Lynn Woolsey. In the name of the counties of Marin and Sonoma - as a voter registered here, in my name - and on official government stationery, Woolsey cranked out a letter to the judge presiding over Pearson's case, pleading for justice to stay its hand.
Pearson had worked on her campaign! He had a promising life ahead of him! He was a good kid, just dabbled in chemically assisted rape every once in awhile! If it had only been Wild Turkey, and not an abrasive solvent, he could practically be a Kennedy! The judge dismissed the ridiculous letter and gave Pearson 8 years - just as generally her progressive, feminist base dismissed the story. While Ms. Phan voiced her outrage in the Marin Independent Journal, and the House Ethics Committee mulled investigating possible impropriety relating to Woolsey's letter. Woolsey told the Journal that she "knew nothing" about the case, and later issued an apology to Ms. Phan:
