It's too bad this young woman was hurt, but I think the media is going overboard covering this story (It's a real Google hitter this morning) when there appears to be some doubt about the authenticity of her claims. She claims a black man (who else?) became violent while in the process of robbing her at an ATM machine when he saw the McCain sticker on her car.
Let's see now, do you think the guy might have been dyslexic because he carved a backward B on her cheek? More importantly, where's the proof this incident really happened? I don't want to appear to be cruel, but I can't help pointing out the obvious oddity that throws this whole story into doubt; was her attacker dyslexic or did she carve the B herself while looking in a mirror?
I suspect that the reality is that this woman is a bit misguided and perhaps looking for some publicity that she actually thinks will help the McCain campaign. After a five hour interview with police, and taking a polygraph test, there remains doubt that she told the truth about what really happened. The police are still wondering why the backwards B on her cheek.
Nice try Todd, you had your 15 minutes of fame. I hope you enjoyed it!
