41. Ok. I was going to leave this alone.. but may I add to the list of things that don't make sense.
Now, I'm not going to doubt that she was robbed. I mean... she has to know that the camera would have caught something, and the ATM would record her getting 60 bux out. So, yes, it's very plausible she was robbed at the ATM. I'll give her that much.

However.. the thing that doesn't make sense to me.. is in the police version of the events. She said (this is from the police report) that she was at an ATM, and was attacked from behind after being robbed, becuase the guy saw her sticker and said "I"ll teach you to support John McCain!!" (who talks like that in real life?) Then she said that she was punched in the head from behind, and the guy started kicking and punching her as she lie on the ground, then he carves the B on her face. Now mind you, he originally held a knife to her throat.. but delicately carved a B in her face with his fingernail leaving not one cut in her skin? Hmmmm.. Also, after her attack (from the police again) She did NOT know the area, but went to a friend's house nearby. Then her friend drove her around looking for the ATM, but all she knew is that it had a "green sign" over it. So.. she gets mugged, and she and her friend drive around looking for the ATM in the "wrong side of town" (according to her on her twitter or blog) She knows where her friend lives "nearby", but doesn't know how to get back to the ATM she just left?

It would be almost more believable if she had NOT just arrived in town to volunteer for McCain (she had mentions of phone banking later in PA for him.) So much does not add up. I understand now why TMZ is saying that the Police are starting to question her story.

If you were a young woman beaten and kicked by a large man, I'd think your first call would be 911. Regardless of where you are.. you call 911 first. As I said, the ATM may show that she was robbed... but the rest of the stuff? How he managed to do a perfect backwards B on her face, and not cut thru her skin? And a B?
