Martin Eisenstadt outs himself as Carl Cameron's source for some recent Palin-mockery and delivers yet more fodder (emphasis added):
As you know, I was one of the foreign policy advisers on the McCain campaign who worked with Randy Scheunemann to help prep Sarah on her debate with Joe Biden. Did we outright give her a geography quiz when we started the prep? No, of course not. But yes, in the context of the prep, it slowly became apparent that her grasp of basic geo-political knowledge had major gaps. Could she have passed a multiple choice test about South Africa or NAFTA. Probably. But it was clear that she simply didn’t have the ease of knowledge that we come to expect from a major party political candidate. Other slights came up, too: Not knowing the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas. Or the difference between the Shiites and Suni. Or when it came to international terrorist organizations, knowing that the IRA was in Northern Ireland, and ETA in Spain.

They’re reporting this is a hoax here: www.lucianne.com
Gov. Palin should of asked him how many counties are in Alaska.
Betcha THAT would have been fun to watch!
Okay...story regarding libs and their PALIN envy...went to a wedding this weekend....ran into a gal hadn’t seen in awhile...was saying we’d lived in Saskatchewan....she says...oh, you must have known Sarah Palin then....I look at her funny....and say...UH, Saskatchewan is in Canada...to which she says...jeez I’m as dumb as Palin...then I say...”I don’t think Palin is dumb....ya know...there’s Sask...then Alberta, then British Columbia....AND THEN Alaska”....and then I did my best to avoid her at the Reception....THESE are the IDIOTS who voted for OBAMA!!!!
After posting this we were informed that Eisenstadt is a fake. It's closed until we find out differently.
this is a hoax folks... the guy does not exist... some jerk off living in his parents basement
Therefore, they can take a hike, I voted for Palin, not McCain!
Palin can COMMUNICATE, McCain CANNOT!
She was busy running Alaska; what’s SENATOR B.O.’s excuse?
Someone ought to tell Martin that when you find yourself in a hole, stop diggin. OTOH, keep going, you ass—at least then we can fill in the hole and never have to hear your worthless sorry excuses any longer.
More evidence that Eisenstadt is a HOAX:

The source has to be different than this faux “Eisenstadt”.
Such an informative tidbit. What is a hoax? What is the precise link?
Oh, come on! EVERYBODY knows the difference:
Suni kill Shi'a & Shi'a kill Suni.
The only things they agree upon is that Satan is God; women are useful filth; and killing Infidels takes precedence over killing each other.
This is a hoax.
The point of these articles is to destroy Sarah Palin’s credibility. We expect this from The New Republic.
The real villain in all of this is Sen. John McCain - he picked Sarah Palin to save his campaign and she uplifted it to make it competitive but now that he’s used her, it’s dump time.
Sen. John McCain is a despicable man.
I gave you the link. Since that time Lucianne has completely removed the article and poster comments. In the comment section it was mentioned by several posters who provided links that the article and the the man “admitting” to this is a “Borat” type, if you will.
Update: Martin Eisenstadt appears to be an Internet fraud, and this story is almost definitely false. Although there is a real Martin Eisenstadt and he works for a conservative think tank, the blog where this info came from is almost certainly a hoax.
