    Breaking News: Rep. Diana McWilliams will not seek third term. DTR has broken this story! Sorry for the advertisement. Thought you guys might like to know.

    That’s sad. Making up a story for what? What did it get her? Absolutely nothing… This is what happens when the head of the campaign condones sleazy, dirty politics…

    What a shame…

    Wait a second…what? Wouldn’t this be her third term if she won?

  4. Mike Matthews says:

    LOL, I guess she’s already sought her third term. I guess she just won’t “serve” it because she’s gonna win with no opponent.

    It’s shitty that she used this tact to try to get support. It’s far shittier that she likely thought she could get away with it by saying her assailant was black.

    We can officially call her BITCH!

    Surprise, indeed.

    You know what would be funny, if the backwards B stays on her face. Sort of a Scarlet Letter.

    What will Matt Smuge the Druge say now

    Ha!

    Have fun in jail!

    And all for McCain?

    What a stupid shit!

    Nemski – Don’t blame her; that’s the way the ‘B’ looked in the mirror! 😉

    If she just would have used the actual logo (an “O”) she wouldn’t have had this problem.

    And how is it that McCain/Palin AREN’T race baiting again.

    I highly doubt her orders came straight from campaign HQ.

    This is no different than the plantation slut blaming a slave of rape.

    I really hope this woman gets what’s coming to her….and I’m sure it won’t be like a Sharon Tweed-esque, SkinaMax-girls-in-prison flick!

  13. Von Cracker says:
    October 24, 2008 at 2:20 pm

    of course not, h. but desperation begets desperation…i guess.

    haven’t heard much comment on Fox yet

    Cracker, you can’t site film material without giving links. Incredible blogger faux pax.

    Any bets on whether she was even mugged in the first place? I’d guess her boyfriend smacked her around, or maybe her dad (Bob the Steelworker) did it, so she had to come up with a quick cover story to keep him out of jail.

    Well, I’m glad they caught on to the hoax early and didn’t start rounding up people for committing the “crime.”

    G Rex, she’s from Texas, so it be Carl the Cowboy.

    John Moody, Exec. VP at FOX writes:
    “If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain’s quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.” Oh my.

    P, I read that earlier, and was perplexed by it. It seems that Moody was actually hoping that a story of a black man attacking a white woman for political reasons would be true — as a way to get voters to be scared of voting for a black man. If the whole thing was a hoax, all they have left is the race-baiting.

    Crazy. A part of the traditional media actively hoping for race-baiting to work.

    I’m so sorry, Mr Brady, on two fronts…

    First for the lack of a link, but also for the error of calling Shannon Tweed, Sharon!

    😀

  22. nemski says:
    October 24, 2008 at 2:41 pm

    all they have left is the race-baiting

    Sounds like a good slogan for GOP in 2012.

    there weren’t any muslim terrorists this year. So they turned the fear card onto one of their own citizens and this is what happens.

    sickening. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are threats to his life in the next 10 days

    nemski, your post was missing the sirens.

    For a while I thought it was that black guy who killed a pregnant woman in Boston a few years back.

    And it was!!

  27. Truth Teller says:
    October 24, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    Yes UI remember in the Boston they arrested a black man and got him to confess befor the husband killed himself.
    The worst part of that case was that nothing happened to the dectives who got that confession.
