She is CLAIMING she had "previous mental problems".... no proof

[scheming daemons]

I'm not buying it.


She was trying to prove her Rovian bonafides.


She just has too low of an IQ to pull it off.

[Lucky 13]

1. You don't think it's believable that a McCain/Palin supporter has mental problems?

I'm convinced ALL McCain/Palin supporters have mental problems...

[Midlodemocrat]

2. I want to know what type.

Depression? GAD? None of those would account for what she did.

Is she Bi-polar? Schizophrenic? Was she in a manic phase?

Otherwise, bullshit.

5. She's an Aggie!

[Shakespeare]

7. On behalf of all us DU Aggies, let me just say we're disgusted by this.

Also, it seems she flunked out of A&M, and was attending Blinn Community College. We want NOTHING to do with her!

[napi21]

11. You're right. My appologies to all the DU Aggies! When I lived in

San Antonio, there were LOTS of jokes about Aggies. It just popped back into my mind when I heard she was.

10. i agree

not only has she harmed real crime victims, if her claim of previous mental problems is bullshit, she also hurts those of us who actually do suffer from mental illness.

[Midlodemocrat]

15. Exactly. And as a mental health practitioner, the

excusing of bad behavior because 'she's mentally ill' literally makes me sick. It makes it unbelievable different to make the stigma go away when that 'defense' is thrown around like confetti.

3. MSNBC

Just made it sound like she was the victim. "poor girl" "obvious mental problems". Give me a break, she knew what she was doing.

[endthewar]

4. She got caught because she wrote the "B" backwards

She should be publicly shamed for pulling this stunt.

[Erin Elizabeth]

8. I think the police didn't believe it from the beginning.

Because I know if *I* smelled bullshit on it from the start, without even seeing a picture, they most certainly smelled bullshit. They know how muggers typically act. They know muggers don't make political statements. They know no mugger would bother to do that, nor would they be that careful about making the B. Nor would there be no witnesses. And on and on and on. Her story was so full of holes, it was crazy.

[LiberalAndProud]

I'll wager she's never been diagnosed or treated.

But she *is* a Republican. Sometimes you just have to connect the dots.

[TornadoTN]

6. She may very well have mental problems, but they should have checked that out yesterday

BEFORE they ran this filth. Now they've got egg on their faces and know how damaging this is to McCain, so they sweep it under the rug.

CALL THEM ON IT - DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY

[Neshanic]

9. All young republicans go through the self mutilation phase. Scamps!

[Overseas]

12. B is for Blackout. D is for Drunk.

Dumb gal has a drinking problem. In a blackout, gazing into the bathroom mirror, she decided to ramp up her previous fake stories with a real doozy. To do her bit to support the McPanic/Failin campaign.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. I called it, man! She's gonna check into rehab. It's the all-purpose excuse.

14. You mean ASIDE from being a Republican? nt

[DevonRex]

16. Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't. We can't take her word for it.

Plus, if she DOES, it's the variety that is attention seeking and sympathy getting. So the mental illness part is yet another way of accomplishing her goal.

Either way she must be punished for her crimes.
