PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh police say they gave a polygraph test to a McCain campaign volunteer who reported that a tall black man had robbed and later cut her face her after seeing a McCain bumper sticker on her car.
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard says investigators are "looking at some inconsistencies" in the 20-year-old woman's story.

I called it fishy first. Shades of the Runaway bride??
Follow up on yesterday’s PING!!
The weakest attempt at a hoax EVER.
The photo itself seemed fishy when I saw it. To me, it didn’t have the look of a victim I normally see in after crime scene photos. But I could be wrong of course.
This should clear it up one way or the other, I guess.
It’s more than they did w/ Tawana Brawley or the Duke stripper.
You never know what bizarre story will surface in election season.
Wow, usually it takes days or weeks for them to get their crap together before someone takes a polygraph. This must be some kind of record.
I dunno - they didn’t do this with oh, Tawana Brawley, or the Lacrosse team victim, did they?
Shades of Duke La Cross Stripper.
When will Obama have a polygraph test?
Isn’t there bank security camera video that can either confirm or dispute this?
I knew a lot of girls who made wild claims when I was that age.
She may have made it all up. Or the 'inconsistencies' could be nothing and her story is completely true. I guess we'll find out.
If it did happen, I wouldn't be at all surprised. I've been accosted twice already by Obama supporters because of my McCain/Palin bumper sticker and my "Read my lipstick" campaign button.
Diane Richards on Fox now....wearing a “Brown shirt” in her picture.....coincidence...../sarcasm.
The pic with the backwards “B” unfortunately smacks of someone looking in a mirror and scratching it.
I remember that. Afterwards, McDonald's came out with a Tawana Brawley Burger. You'd get a bare hamburger & put your own crap on it.
Police will not state results, I bet if she failed the lie detector test, it would be all over the news...
Still doesn’t explain the black eye and swelling on the cheek.
Rotate that photo 180, the B was scratched in from the back or or behind her, or while she was on the ground, feet away from the person who did it. The B isn’t backwards, it’s upside-down.
Not saying it’s real, but that should settle the “mirror” thing.
