McCain Pwned
When the McCain campaign began publicising allegations that one of their campaign workers had been robbed and mutilated by a pro-Obama mugger yesterday, several elements of the story just seemed wrong. In the first place, someone desperate enough to attack an ATM-user in public isn't likely to hang around for any extras. Take the money and run is the usual MO, for good reason.
Then there was that backwards "B" on her cheek. Either we were to believe that she ran into a dyslexic thief who cared more about politics than getting away, or the story was a fake. Now we know the truth, the "B" was backwards because the confused girl who attempted to perpetrate the hoax was looking in the mirror when she wrote it.
It's unbelievable that anyone associated with the McCain team participated in the fabrication of the lie. However his campaign staff showed the same impetuous disregard for fact-checking that McCain demonstrated in selecting Sarah Palin as a running mate. And once again, John McCain is pwned.
