This notorious serial fabulator is trying to deny that an armful of fables she's spun are untrue. And with a credibility score of about minus 300, we're supposed to believe her?

Oh, I forgot -- it's the no-opposable-thumb set she's appealing to.

Next!

4. It wasn't just those sites --
I think it was Rachel who pointed to a resume of Christine's where she made the same false claims.
