This hoax, covered already, sounds like an attempt
by the Romney operatives to create something far from themselves.

"Almost every critical remark made about Palin
on a recent briefing call about her selection came from political consultants
with ties to Romney. Those comments were planted, says one,
because they knew that reporters would be on the call."
[Washington Prowler, American Spectator, Storm Center, 9/2/2008]

This reminds Conservatives of Romney's fake badges and attacks on Sen Thompson.

Novak: Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign

Said Novak: The rumors were "traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

Thanks Di, you said it better than I could.

However:

ROMNEY AIDES WORKING FOR MCCAIN DISHED SARAH PALIN THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION TO KNOCK HER OUT OF THE RUNNING FOR 2012.

So that is all you got on Romney, the “Prowler” rumor? You’ve been braying about how Romney has been “caught” Palin dissing, but it turns out you’ve got nothing but the Prowler and your posterior egress. You and the API are going to have the proof any day now.

The damage will never be undone, IMO. Palin has been “Quayled” for all time. We now know that Quayle himself was set up in the infamous “Potatoe” incident, but the public has never learned the truth of that story and never will. They will never learn that the Palin allegations are a hoax either.

Why don’t we blame Axelrod....?
