  1. 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.

  2. shortstuff says:

    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…

  3. RSmitty says:

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

  4. 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.

  5. RSmitty says:

    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!

  6. cassandra_m says:

    Surprise, indeed.

  7. nemski says:

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

  8. Truth Teller says:

    What will Matt Smuge the Druge say now

  9. Von Cracker says:

    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! 😉

  10. Dorian Gray says:

    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.

  11. h. says:

    I highly doubt her orders came straight from campaign HQ.

  12. Von Cracker says:

    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:

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

  14. Truth Teller says:

    haven’t heard much comment on Fox yet

  15. John Brady says:

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

  16. G Rex says:

    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.

  17. Unstable Isotope says:

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

  18. nemski says:

    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.

  20. cassandra_m says:

    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.

  21. Von Cracker says:

    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:

    all they have left is the race-baiting

    Sounds like a good slogan for GOP in 2012.

  23. donviti says:

    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

  24. cassandra_m says:

    nemski, your post was missing the sirens.

  25. Von Cracker says:

    HA!

  26. jason330 says:

    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:

    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.
