I honestly feel sorry for John McCain

McCain just cannot catch a break.

GOP supporter and volunteer Ashley Todd of College Station, Texas, was working for the Mac campaign in Pittsburgh, where she is a student, when, she claims, she was attacked by an Obama supporter. The tall black man, angered by the McCain sticker on Todd's car, reportedly, "punched her in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground, and he continued to punch and kick her while threatening to teach her a lesson for being a McCain supporter." He then robbed her and carved a B into her face, backwards... for Barack I guess? or oBama...?

Conservative pundits jumped on the news as if Obama himself had attacked Ashley. McCain and Palin both personally called the "victim" and her family. Even the Obama/Biden camp issued statements wishing Ashley a "speedy recovery." Only problem is, Ashley was lying.

Poor silly Ashley Todd apparently never learned about mirrors. After a few days of making up stories for the police, Todd admitted there was no attacker and that she carved up her own face because of her previously documented mental problems. She's now sitting in jail with and backwards B on her face and $50,o00.00 of bail, trying to figure out if her stunt was politically motivated or emotionally triggered.

I mean, honestly, could it be any worse for John McCain?
