Oh, sorry, I missed it.

About 6 years ago there was a “leak” quoted in the New York Times about a position that the Bush administration was supposedly going to take.

Fred Barnes on Fox said that he went to everyone he could find in the White House, and not one person thought that was the position, and was dumbfounded that he would even think it.
That was when I became convinced that the media just makes stuff up and uses “unnamed sources” to cover it up.

Personally, I don't think Cameron made up what he reported but screwed up when he rushed to report what he surely knew was made up by somebody in the campaign. Cameron appears to be trying out for a job with Newsweek. Check out the following blog from Weekly Standard: Saturday, November 08, 2008 Most Implausible Palin Story of the Week? Via Isaac Chotiner, Newsweek reports: The day of the third debate, Palin refused to go onstage with New Hampshire GOP Sen. John Sununu and Jeb Bradley, a New Hampshire congressman running for the Senate, because they were pro-choice and because Bradley opposed drilling in Alaska. The McCain campaign ordered her onstage at the next campaign stop, but she refused to acknowledge the two Republican candidates standing behind her. So according to the hatchet man/woman who talked to Newsweek, Palin is such an ideologue about drilling in ANWR that she won't stand next to Bradley, even though John McCain has the exact same position? And Palin is such an ideologue that she won't appear with pro-choice politicians, even though she attended events with pro-choice Clinton donor Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild? And we're really supposed to believe that Palin is so dumb she doesn't know Africa is a continent, but she knew about the voting records of John Sununu and Jeb Bradley in the first place? Hmmm. I guess that might be remotely possible if it weren't for the fact that John Sununu has a 100 percent pro-life rating from the National Right to Life Committee. Glad to see that whoever leaked this story is too dumb to come up with a plausible smear. And kudos to Newsweek for dumping this whopper without bothering to check if Sununu is in fact pro-abortion. Oh, and by the way, Jeb Bradley isn't running for U.S. Senate, as Newsweek reports. Perhaps they might want to check out Wikipedia before publishing the next batch of Palin smears.
