Krazy Kounsellors for Christ

You take your eyes off a wingnut for two second and look what happens: Krazy Kounsellor Klayman is no longer with Judicial Watch. He's running for the U.S. Senate and is allegedly hitting up cash-strapped creationists for million-dollar loans to a direct mailing list company. His campaign is in the toilet, but he's talking about running for President some day. And he's being sued by a former aide who says Triple K has some rather unorthodox religious beliefs:

In December Paul Jensen, that former campaign aide, sued Klayman, charging him with slander. In his complaint, Jensen says that he quit the campaign because Klayman would not pay him and that after he threatened to sue Klayman for back pay, Klayman paid him but then told others Jensen had stolen from the campaign. The complaint also maintains that Klayman--who has called himself a Jew who believes in Christ--told a Palm Beach Post reporter he was Jewish but informed prominent Christian conservatives he was a Christian, and that Klayman instructed Jensen "to lie, if the subject came up, about the fact that Klayman had recently been divorced from his wife." Another person close to the campaign says Klayman told campaign aides to avoid mentioning his divorce and that campaign workers discussed among themselves Klayman's practice of offering different descriptions of his religious beliefs.

And, as far as I know, he's never won a single one of those lawsuits he was involved with. (That makes him the anti-Edwards!)
