NUTJOB LIED B-FORE THIS

A volunteer for John McCain who carved a B into her cheek and lied to cops that a black man mugged her had already been booted from a group which supported Ron Paul for making up stories.

Ashley Todd had falsely claimed her car was targeted because it was plastered with Paul stickers. Dustan Costine, the GOP chairman in Ashley Todd's Texas hometown, told reporters

Todd also told him she was being treated for cancer and had lost all her hair, he said.

Costine said she was fired from the Paul campaign in March after she posed as a representative of Mike Huckabee, and called his supporters asking for their strategies.

"We had to remove her because of the tactics she displayed," he said.

Todd, 20, caused national outrage after admitting to cops she cut the "B" into her face herself, and claimed a black man had attacked her after spotting a McCain campaign sticker on her car in Pittsburgh.

She has been charged with filing a false police report and was sent for mental evaluation.

I will tell you this, though the article is mostly truthful (not completely), I did not give an interview to Mr. Nichols, he sent me an email and I did not return it because I wanted everyone to get by this.

He probably got his information from the Pittsburgh papers that I gave an interview to before Ashley confessed, but to print them as if I told him is a little punkish.

Though it does make the Ron Paulers look clean and okay which is a good thing.
