introducing a new friday feature here at my ironic mustache: the douche of the week award. and the innagural award goes to none other than ashley todd. yesterday, drudge reported a disturbing story involving a mccain staffer getting mugged and then disfigured by an obama supporter. shocking, i know. here’s a picture of ashley todd, the 20-year-old who was allegedly attacked by 6’4″, 200 lb black man who “wanted to teach her a lesson for being a mccain supporter” by carving a “B” into her cheek:
looks pretty rough, right? in the blogosphere, the right-wingers immediately used the incident to condemn every obama supporter and the left-wingers called it a hoax. it was the talk of the internet, until people started realizing what you’re probably realizing right now. the “B” is backwards, as if done in the mirror. and something about her story just didn’t add up. why would the mugger return to attack her further after looking at her bumper sticker? what about the camera on the atm? turns out, she made up the entire thing. so, ashley todd, for being not only an idiot, but also an attention-starved racist, i grant you the coveted “douche of the week” award for friday, october 24, 2008. congrats!
