UPDATE: Lying, Attention Seeking Psycho Fakes Own Assault and Blames it on a Random Black Man

UPDATE: It appears as if my first instinct that this didn't seem real was the correct one.

Lying, Attention Seeking, Psycho Bitch Fakes Own Assault, Face Carving, and Blames it on a Random Black Man.

More proof that we should never have extended the franchise to the 18-20 year-old crowd. You aren't helping, Ashley Todd. I can only hope we later learn that this is an Obama staffer pretending to be a McCain supporter. There is plenty of real violence going on surrounding this election. What a tangled web we weave... 

Great analysis on this from Drew at Ace of Spades:

90% of all calamities occur when morons get it in their heads to be clever.

I gotta tell ya, I've never done a political hoax myself but I have to think I'd be a little bit smarter about it than this Krazy Kretinous Kow.

Like, for one thing? I think I'd've been smart enough to get the ATM to take my picture shortly before my "attack."

Check me out, master criminal, thinking of things like that.

It's not just that she's corrupt and crazy. I mean -- obviously.

It's also that she's not even minimally competent at it.

The Republican Party is supposed to be Evil. Not "incompetent."

I assure you, Ashley, there is a difference...

Now excuse me, I have to run. A pack of menacing black men just broke into my apartment and they're arson-ing all furniture and food whose names begin with "M" or "P."

And I say possible, because it sounds a little over-the-top to be true. But a Pittsburgh news channel is reporting it as if it is:

Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

The "B" being scratched into her face, and the fact that the woman refused medical treatment, seems a little bit suspicious. So does the description of the almost typical black suspect. Any opinion on whether this is real or not?

If so, this is at least the second such case in the last week. This one has been confirmed, and is disturbing enough.
