Just like Susan Smith. Except without children or a carjacking story. Or murder. Or…oh, you get the point.
In 1994, Susan Smith of Union, South Carolina, claimed a black man forced her out of her car, refused to let her retrieve her two sons in the back seat, and drove off. On many levels it didn’t ring true, especially the part about the man refusing to let her get the children. (For reasons obvious to “insiders.”)
We (family and friends) thought she and a boyfriend hid the kids from her ex-husband for revenge and made up a carjacking story. We were half right. She made up the carjacking story, and she hid those precious kids, alright: at the bottom of John D. Long Lake. Smith is serving a life sentence. The jury didn’t have the guts to send her to Old Sparky.
(There was something sketchy about that sketch, too. My brother saw it before I did, and he said it reminded him of a caricature from the minstrel show-era. Once I saw it, I agreed.)
But I digress. So this so-called McCain-supporter chick claimed a black man attacked her at an ATM machine and became upset when he saw her McCain sticker, or some such. Ashley Todd said he carved a “B” for Barack on her face. Michelle Malkin called it yesterday when she suspected it was a hoax. The “B” appeared as if Todd carved it herself while looking in a mirror: forward to her and backward to us.
I guess she decided to fake-hate* because she was bored. Troubled? Twisted? Whatever. If she wanted to see her name in lights (an aspiration of mine), this is not the way to do it.
Anyway, rest easy everybody. I just finished taping a couple of segments for Pajamas Media TV in El Segundo. I had to drive on the 405. Woo! Recovering…

*According to liberal types, the mugging and mutilation would not fit the defintion of "hate crime" unless dude used a racial slur while committing the crime. But all such crimes, regardless of whether the perp spoke or not, are hate crimes from my perspective. That's why hate crime statutes are, among other things, stupid.
