Jonathan "The Other White Meat" Martin Gets It Wrong On Ashley Todd - Then Forgets To Admit He Was Wrong
Jonathan Martin, Republican hack reporter for Politico.com actually LAMENTED the fact that Ashley Todd's fairytale of robbery and assault by a black man turned out to be a complete hoax. He actually related the exposure of the truth as some kind of bad luck break for John McCain's presidential campaign.
Martin stated "Seems like McCain just can't catch a break. Pittsburgh station KDKA reports that Ashley Todd, the 20-year-old McCain volunteer who claims to have been mugged by a black man and had a "B" carved in her face, today admitted to fabricating the attack."
Not one word about how awful her actions were or the affect of her deed on the lives of African Americans or the attempts to smear Barack Obama with this made-up crime, just CONCERN for John McCain (who's campaign should have never mentioned the crime until all the facts were known) and Martin's generic recitation of the real facts of the case (after he had already reported the false story the day before). No apology, no reflection, no nothing!
He wasn't alone in rushing to report, but forgetting to correct and apologize, but he was one of the first to rush to judgment. Therefore, Jonathan Martin was asshole #1 to drink from Matt Drudge's poison pen cocktail. Hope you're choking on it now, Johnny boy!
