Ashley Todd has History of Lying

[jpertello]

A post-attack photo of Todd that the Associated Press says was not taken by police has been circulating on the Internet. Based on that image, some people on the Internet have been asking why the "B" on Todd's cheek is reversed, as if she did it to herself using a mirror. Others have brought up an incident from the late 1980s, when Morton Downey Jr. claimed skinheads had painted a swastika on his face. His story was similarly questioned because the swastika was reversed.

The photo also shows Todd with a black eye. Salon showed it to Jennifer Province, an emergency room nurse, who says she believes the black eye was faked. The color of it is wrong, Province said, and there's less swelling than typically seen.

This isn't the first time this year that Todd has claimed to be involved in an election-related incident. Earlier this month, she posted to YouTube a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe-5nr3NK34 she shot of a janitor at New York's Queens College. In it, she says, "This janitor took down all of my signs ... and tore them apart ... I am really perturbed. He closed off the bathrooms and is making it very hostile."

Salon was able to find some of Todd's personal Web pages, which we're not linking to in order to protect her privacy. What appears to be her MySpace page, which gives her age as 23 rather than 20, is private. But the quote at the top of it is visible -- it reads, "Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her cloths off, but its better if you do."

1. Have you ever seen a black eye wherein the eyeball itself wasn't red?

And the who eye almost swollen shut? Here actual eyeball is fine. What she got is a bad case of mascara.

4. I had a black eye and the white of my eye was red for a week at least

6. I've seen a blow to the upper face do that

but it took several days for the lividity to appear and there was considerably more swelling.

I'm not saying a blow is out of the question. I'm saying her story is full of holes and my guess is that she's the white Tawana Brawley.

I hope she gets the help she needs. She's certainly screaming out for something.

9. Screaming out for ATTENTION. She has mundane videos on the web to not feel insignificant

meanwhile, her videos really are lame!

2. The quote is actually a song lyric from Panic! at the Disco.

Thus proving she has horrible taste in music, but I think people are reading more into that than there is.

3. Do you suppose that she did it in a mirror and then realized

Oh shit, that is backward. Oh well I will just change the story a little tiny bit...

5. Of course she does. She's a Republican. n/t

7. There's only one way to settle this

Show the photo to Bill Frist, photo diagnostician.
