by | Oct 24, 2008 |

Ashley Todd, who John McCain called to comfort yesterday and whose campaign hyped the story as loudly as they could, has admitted that her story about a big, scary, black man who beat her up and carved - ever so lightly - a backwards "B" for Barack on her face ... was pure bullshit.
