Rep. Joe Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy Wins in West Virginia

This Democratic senatorial candidate — whom the DSM-IV has referred to as Factitious Disorder in which one purposefully injures another person (most often a child or family member) so as to gain sympathy and attention — appears to have beat out his Republican opponent in West Virginia.

As such, the Democrats will hold onto the seat previously held by the late Sen. Robert Avian Influenza.
