McCain volunteer Ashley Todd recants

[james_davis_nicoll]

McCain volunteer admits race-baiting fable about being assaulted by a tall black Obama supporter was in fact a lie.

Note that nobody is suggesting John McCain personally urged the young woman to go out and lie for his cause. He just would have benefited from it had it worked.

John Moody, executive vice president at Fox New: "If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain's quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting."

Huh. Ashley Todd's wikipedia entry appears to have been deleted because she isn't notable enough to warrant one.

Random browsing is not the optimal method for finding articles to edit, but there are plenty of other methods. I've never had trouble finding them; the problem is making myself stop when it's only a couple of hours after bedtime.

(I've no problem with deleting spam and garage bands, mind; but deletionists generally don't stop there.)
