ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) -- A candidate for Southern Oregon University student body president has admitted she was lying when she claimed she had a cousin who was killed in the Virginia Tech shootings.
Brandi Freeman spoke at a candlelight vigil held by students at the university campus in Ashland last night.
With tears streaming down her face, she had claimed she had lost her cousin in the shootings that left 33 dead at Virginia Tech.
By today, Freeman admitted to making up the story to appeal to voters for the student body election next week. She also said she suffers from bipolar disorder.
Freeman is a dean's list student and a member of the student senate. But she said she'll likely drop out of the student body elections because of her actions.
What a thing to aspire to. “Sign here, in your own blood...”
That's what I was wondering.
She is pretty Hot! I’d vote for her. I mean it is a college election after all. Who cares. What difference could she possible make? What does the other candidate look like? She has my vote!!!/sarc.
“This is not far removed from John Edwards claiming that his father was a mill “worker”.....”
What was Edwards’ father actual job? I’m curious because, stupidly, I had bought into the mill worker legend.
Looks like a good little Rat in training. Ramon and PB&Js, big deal some of lived on those for years so what? Typical lying socialist.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Maybe all of that is a lie too.
I do not like her because she is representing ramen noodles and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and less than desirable food. I think that those are perfectly good food. I eat that sometimes and I am grateful, very grateful to have it. Does not look like it has hurt her any, either.
Not guilty!
Uh, wait, what, she wasn’t caught molesting a 14-year-old male student? Oh. Never mind.

Edward’s father was a mill supervisor, not a mill worker. Growing up in a factory city and sometimes working summers in factories, I can tell you that being a supervisor is tremendously different - both inside and outside the plant.
P.S. To be fair and balanced, my post also should have referenced the latest presidential candidate prevaricator, a seemingly otherwise good man and on our side - Mitt “The Hunter” Romney.
AHA!!
There she is exactly like I pictured her, Blonde, Brandi with the i and the end dotting the i with a little heart.
Her excuses for not completing her education track to graduation after 5 years are suspect at best and B.S in all probability.
Anyone who really wants to get into a class to fullfil graduation requirements can almost always appeal to the Prof. for permission or even to the Dean of Academic affairs and it is almost never denied.
Or she could simply get up early on registration day.
Looks like she will soon be a rising star in the Democrat party!
Great point, although in the Gore case we really are dealing with the mentally unhinged. Nevertheless, please consider Al’s tobacco enlightenment and muleskinning adventures as included. Also, his daring climb of Mt. Rainier.
We ate beans and rice when I was a student. Peanut butter was too expensive. $23K in debt? Methinks Brandi needs to get a fulltime job and do a little part-time student instead of college politics.
“College students Brandi Freeman (left) and Jessica Lleras prepare to serve ramen noodles and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to legislators at the Capitol on March 28. Freeman and Lleras wanted to illustrate how the cost of higher education affects students’ budgets for food.”
A career in lying off to a good start. I ate a lot of ramen noodles and pilfered rolls from the cafeteria when I was in college. More money for beer. Not serving the legislators beer and pot though, huh?
Sounds like a good Democrat to me
