No More Chunky Monkey For Me: Ben Cohen - Co-Founder of Ben and Jerry's - Pays For Cindy Sheehan's PR Firm!

Yep - it's true, but you don't find THIS in the MSM:

The PR firm working for Cindy Sheehan as she protests outside President Bush's ranch in Texas campaigning over the death of her son killed in Iraq has been paid for by Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

The 24-hour media attention being lavished upon Sheehan owes as much to the professionals supporting her as it does to the emotional impact of her story.

Fenton Communications is assisting Sheehan, the mother of a US soldier killed in Iraq, to earn media coverage for her vigil. TrueMajority, a nonprofit advocacy group created by Cohen is paying Washington, DC-based Fenton from the $70,000 that the group has raised so far to support Sheehan's protest efforts.

You remember Ben Cohen, he is the one that went on the road last year, towing a 12-foot-tall effigy of President Bush with fake flames shooting out of the pants....
