(WJZ) Baltimore, MD Psychiatrist Lise Van Susteren -- the sister of TV personality Greta Van Susteren -- has formally entered the race for the U.S. Senate in Maryland.

She announced her candidacy this morning and joined a growing field of candidates for the Democratic Party nomination to succeed retiring Senator Paul Sarbanes.

The Democrats already in the race are congressman Ben Cardin, former congressman Kweisi Mfume and activist Robert Kaufman.

Other Democrats are thinking about running and Republican Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele is considering a
possible candidacy.

1. Is she a Scientologist? Will Fox News tolerate this?

A couple of questions for discusson. As a Dem, obviously not a Fox Newsie.

2. um, thumbs down

No sister of Greta Van Facelift can be that great of a candidate.

3. I don't know a damned thing about her

But she says she's:

...... in favor of single payer health care

...... in favor of stem cell research

...... opposed to the War in Iraq©

That's a good start ......

5. Siblings don't mean anything.

Don't let Greta's pandering blind you to a potentially good candidate.

6. Damn Right.

I come from a long line of, and was raised, conservative republicans (old style.)
Wasn't the very Devil, himself, reputed to be an ex-angel and brother to other hot dogs of heaven?

11. Except

Lise is a psychiatrist and Greta has, with her Aruba obsession, provided Lise with an up-close and personal view of OCD.

16. I have nothing in common with at least 1 of my siblings.

And I'd prefer not to be judged by what that sibling does, thank you very much!

[merci_me]

4. Greta's husband....................

had a staff position on the John Kerry primary campaign, a fact that Greta revealed in the interest of "full disclosure" when she was interviewing one of the Dem primary candidates.

8. I've always been in love with Greta's overbite

Call me kinky if you want. It just gets to me. :crazy:



I don't think I've ever seen Lise. Oddly, a Google image search draws a complete blank.

9. Wow. You're scary.

Greta is way too weird; not talking about her picture here.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

10. Why, thank you.

So glad you noticed! :rofl:

[Mabus]

12. Prisoner_Number_Six, we have to break you out

of whatever prison you're in!

13. she's not a Scientologist like Greta

[MattP]

17. Not Scientologist

I wonder how the Scientology people like Greata having a shrink for a sister?
