You stay classy, Ashley Todd:

A McCain-Palin campaign volunteer who claimed she was robbed and cut by a supporter of Sen. Barack Obama has confessed to making up the story, Pittsburgh police Assistant Chief Maurita Bryant said this afternoon.
Ashley Todd, 20, of College Station, Texas, is charged with filing a false police report. . . .
"She just opened up and said she wanted to tell the truth," Bryant said. "She was upset with the media for blowing this into a political firestorm."

She fakes a political crime in the middle of a campaign, now the little liar blames the media for reporting it.
