McCain Campaign Volunteer's 'Assault' Wounds Self-Inflicted
The narrative of this election cycle just took another sick, desperate turn:
"Police say a campaign volunteer confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker. At a news conference this afternoon, officals said they believe that Ashley Todd's injuries were self-inflicted. Todd, 20, of Texas, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police. Todd initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car. Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test...This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story."

Maybe the "B" stood for Big n' Black. You know, in case the girl forgot what color his skin was.

This just in!!! Cindy McCain just found with a M carved on her face, police say this must be true because the M is not spelt backwards.

This is just proof of how dumb someone would have to be to support McCain!
