BREAKING: Hoax!

KDKA in Pittsburgh reports the following:

"A Pittsburgh police commander says a volunteer for the McCain campaign who reported being robbed and attacked near a bank ATM in Bloomfield has confessed to making up the story. Police say charges will be filed. More details to follow."

Her original description of the "attacker" was a "6-foot 4-inch, 200-pound black man, with medium build and short black hair."

What was her motivation for lying? You do the math.
