At Talking Points Memo, on McCain volunteer Ashley Todd and the Obama-mugger that never was:

I was coming out of Starbucks this afternoon when a big fat hillbilly ran over to me and knocked my half-caf soy latte out of my hand and said “You look like an Obama supporter, I’m going to teach you to support McCain”. Then he knocked me to the ground and pulled out a swiss army knife. “I’m going to carve an ‘M’ in your face, liberal,” he insisted, and then he paused,”How do you spell, ‘M'” , he asked. “Well, then, I’m going to make you squeal like a pig…”

Or, maybe I just dreamed this at my desk after lunch. I did doze off for a moment…it is SO HARD to tell dreams from reality, these days.

UPDATE

I see the National College Republicans, for whom Todd worked, have about as much human feeling a the rest of their kind. Despite the fact McCain and Cindy jumped at Todd’s story, expressing public sympathy all over the airwaves when they thought they could use her to bolster the campaign with the racist base, now that she’s been found out she’s become a non-person.

CRNC Statement on Ashley Todd

When Ms. Todd initially contacted us claiming to have been attacked our first reaction was obviously to be concerned for her safety. We are as upset as anyone to learn of her deceit, Ashley must take full responsibility for her actions.

We have terminated her effective today.
