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......

(4) They got to test conservatives to see how easy it is to push their buttons and ignite open, internecine warfare.

{Embarrassingly easy!}

Re your post #112.

Agree, but check out the interview (CNN?) with the Newsweek editors. Just at the end of the interview they reiterate some claim about Palin that they just had received from anonymous sources from inside the campaign.

I wouldn’t bet my house on it, but I think there is more than an even chance that they were listening to Mr Eisenstadt.
