This cycle's "B" Girl

About this time in 2008 some idiot claimed she was assaulted by a raging Obama supporter who somehow branded her with a backwards "B" -- because people always assault others in front of a mirror.   After right-wing blogs blew up with this story it died a quick death as police applied the simple logic the 101st keyboarders could not -- exposing the story as a really bad hoax.

Well, we have this year's non-victim:

Kyle Wood, a campaign worker for the Republican congressional candidate Chad Lee, today recanted his statements about being assaulted and choked at his home on Oct. 24, according to Madison police.

The department updated its incident report late Monday afternoon after Wood met with detectives.

Captain Joe Balles, commander of the South District, confirms that Wood recanted his allegations of the beating.
