Everyone of the issues that you raised have been openly vetted. The Africa as a country thing was a lie made up by a liberal blogger who sent the story to Carl Cameron and another reporter, who fell for the whole story. Carl Cameron was made to look like a complete fool for not vetting the story, himself. The other guy was a liberal, so , it didn’t matter.
There is nothing weird about the clothes. No one is asking Michelle Obama to give back the designer clothes that she accepted before the tape was put on her mouth and she was locked away in a hotel room. It was only after she re-appeared that she started wearing off the rack clothes.
I’m pretty sure that the Tina Fey for Halloween line, was a joke.
I guess that you haven’t been paying attention.
Are you talking about the story about the hoax? The hoax was a hoax. It’s everywhere on the internet.
11/12/2008 Fox news reports that Cameron was not the victim of a hoax but that MSNBC and NY Times were. Fox stands by the story to this day as far as I can find.
The liberal blogger I think you are referring to, Eisenstadt, in Nov. published that he was the source of the Africa thing and said he made it all up. The liberal media flew with it and made Cameron look bad. FOX quickly reported that Eisenstadt wasn’t the source forcing MSNBC and NY Times to retract their claims and admit THEY didn’t vet Eisenstadt.
So what about the Africa claim? Per Fox website, “The hoax was limited to the identity of the source in the story about Palin _ not the Fox News story itself. While Palin has denied that she mistook Africa for a country, the veracity of that report was not put in question by the revelation that Eisenstadt is a phony”
Here is the last link.

Anything retracting the story by Fox? Not that I can find. Cameron and Fox stand by it.
I’ve given enough comment on the Fey thing
