'Mutilated' McCain volunteer confesses she made the story up

[effervescible]

I KNEW IT.

Nice to see the truth come out so quickly. I wish people wouldn't use the incident to paint all McCain supporters as lying nutballs, though, any more than it would be fair to paint Obama supporters with the same brush if one of them claimed to have been mugged and had a "J" carved into her face. People are capable of being loons across a wide spectrum of political affiliation.

Still voting Obama, though.

Yeah, it was pretty obvious, especially the I TOTALLY DID THIS IN THE MIRROR WITH MY FINGERNAILS THAT'S WHY IT'S BACKWARDS AND NOT EVEN BLEEDING "B" that she claimed was "carved with a knife". *rolls eyes*

Michelle Malkin pointed out that this smelled right away. She's a crazy facist, but it was nice to see someone calling it out.

I KNOW. I will give her props for that. (Which still leaves her with a negative props balance in the long run.)

The girl's a loon, but the McCain PA headquarters were pushing this to the press before any details were known. They jumped on it like a starving dog.

This is what desperation does.

I can smell their fear...

It smells like poo.

My husband told me about that this morning. When he told me about the backwards "B," I literally did a facepalm. SERIOUSLY, WHY DID THIS MAKE THE NEWS?

Because it opened the door to incendiary and inflammatory rhetoric, of course! *sigh*
