I was one who would not believe that Palin did not know that Africa was a continent. Come on folks, she was out of touch but the good voters of Alaska would not have voted a true idiot into office (a corrupt one yes, idiot no)

Seems the joke's still on Palin, bless her heart, if so many found it believable...

It was enough for me watching her face go blank when asked to name any Supreme Court decisions with which she disagreed apart from Roe v. Wade.

Juicy stuff, except Martin Eisenstadt didn’t work for McCain—he isn’t even a real person, The New York Times reports. The man, his blog, and his think tank, the Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy, are all fakes dreamed up by Eitan Gorlin and Dan Mirvish, two obscure filmmakers. The pair said they created the hoax to help them sell a TV show based on Eisenstadt, who “was no more of a joke,” they argued, “than half the bloggers or political commentators on the Internet or television.”</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/"><DIV class="getit"><A href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/13/arts/television/13hoax.html?hp=&pagewanted=print" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" linkindex="31" set="yes">Read it at The New York Times</A></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5194FE47-6EA4-48CF-8E81-1C1DC0E80297/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
