Crazy Al to join Cindy's Flying Circus; can Gypsy Jesse be far behind?

Word out tonight that Al Sharpton is headed to Crawford, TX to join protest queen Cindy Sheehan.

Sharpton's office said Thursday he would participate in a prayer vigil Sunday with Sheehan in Crawford, Texas. Sheehan returned on Wednesday to Camp Casey, named after her 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who was killed last year in Iraq.

Sheehan began her vigil on the road leading to Bush's ranch Aug. 6, vowing to stay through his monthlong vacation unless he met with her. She left last week to visit her 74-year-old mother, who had suffered a stroke, in Los Angeles.

Sheehan plans to leave Crawford at the end of August and embark on a bus tour ending in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 24.

My money was on Jesse Jackson showing up first, with Sharpton showing up later.
