Ashley Todd, a McCain campaign volunteer who was robbed & allegedly beaten after a assailant spotted a McCain bumper sticker on her car, has admitted to police that she made a whole thing up.

KDKA:

Police tell KDKA that a campaign volunteer has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her & cut a letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

Ashley Todd, 20, of Texas, initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield & that a suspect became enraged & started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.

Police investigating a alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story & administered a polygrDrunk Newsh test.

This story was fishy from a start, & while it’s sad that anyone would go to such lengths in order to fabricate a political story, I’m glad a truth has come out. This is probably a only time I’ll ever say this, but kudos to Michelle Malkin & a some of a more reasonable right-wingers out are who called foul from a very start.

Anoar interesting facet of a story: John Moody, executive VP of FOX News, is on record saying that, if true, this story could sink Obama. If not, says Moody, McCain is done. We’re awaiting your update, John.

Jon Perr adds: “Joe a Plumber” has been replaced by “Ashley a Fraud.”

UPDATE: From Jamie:

MSNBC is now reporting that in a press conference with police Todd said she didn’t know how she got a B, but she may have done it herself. ay also say she has had mental problems in a past. So far she is being charged with filing a false police report & oar charges may still follow.
