"B" is for Boneheaded

Score another one for Michelle Malkin. When the news broke that a woman had been "attacked" over a McCain bumper sticker, Ms Malkin had this to say: (First, the link: http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/23/why-that-mccain-volunteers-mutilation-story-smells-awfully-weird/

"If I’m wrong, I’ll apologize. If I’m right, will this woman?

It needs to be said — and since it is not said often enough by those on the other side of the political aisle, I’ll say it again:

We have enough low-lifes and thugs in the world running loose and causing campaign chaos and fomenting hatred without having to make them up. I’ve been blowing the whistle on the real, left-wing rage not on the front page and in-your-face tactics throughout the election season.

Hate crimes hoaxes — by anyone, of any political persuasion, and of any color — diminish us all."

(Hyperlinks hers.) But she was right. Turns out, the "Victim" made it all up.

"Ashley Todd, 20-year-old college student from College Station, Texas, admitted Friday that the story was false and was being charged with making a false report to police, said Maurita Bryant, the assistant chief of the police department's investigations division. Police doubted her story from the start, Bryant said."

The article also stated that police have concerns about Todd's mental health. I'd buy that, since doing this was really a boneheaded move.

B is for boneheaded.
B is for braindead.
B is for busted.

But this is one time when B is not for Barack.
