“With Palin being in Beaver tonight (just outside Pittsburgh), there’s a chance this will be mentioned during her remarks at the rally.”
NO NO NO NO NO NO.
If she (or anyone else prominent in the McCain campaign) starts doing this, it could blow up in their faces if the story turns out to be a hoax.
Keep your mouth SHUT about it, Sarah (I mean that with all due respect).
If the story is indeed true, it will “find its way out” into the world.
But don’t jump the shark on this one, please.

I am a Plastic Surgeon. I have treated a lot of facial trauma. It is my opinion that this is a Tawana Brawley moment. Here’s why:
1- As many have noted, the “B” is way too neat for somebody to have carved on anybody other than an unconscious patient.
2- Although she has a “black eye”, there is NO swelling. All the anatomic landmarks are intact, there is fine wrinkling in the eyelid skin, etc. The “black eye” comes from blood vessels burst under the skin. There is no way the swelling would have resolved 24 hrs later. If anything, swelling is worse the next day as fluid extravasates into the injured tissues.
