Pretty well done. The hoaxer (or hoaxers) are probably rolling on the floor laughing right now.
It’s a three-fer for whatever leftist scum launched this hoax:
(1) they get to attack Palin and McCain most viciously and get the lies repeated widely
(2) they get to crush the credibility (such as it is) of Fox News as the hoax is exposed (did Carl Cameron rely primarily upon an unknown “anonymous source” who went through his producers, and then receive feeble “confirmations” from a couple of real RINOs who didn’t like Sarah Palin??)
(3) they get to focus the Mediascum on this rather than on anything substantive about Governor Palin for days and/or weeks......
