The AP story based on this (you can't spell crap without...waving to Deb) is now saying that the "hoax" MSNBC talks about is the whole "fake campaign figure taking credit for the leak" part of it only... http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jiO_hn-5SfG9hdADHuRZ6hEDqNRAD94DQU5O0 "The hoax was limited to the identity of the source in the (MSNBC) 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." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
