If it smells like bullshit...

... it probably is.

It was among the juicier post-election recriminations: Fox News Channel quoted an unnamed McCain campaign figure as saying that Sarah Palin did not know that Africa was a continent.

Who would say such a thing? On Monday the answer popped up on a blog
and popped out of the mouth of David Shuster, an MSNBC anchor. “Turns
out it was Martin Eisenstadt, a McCain policy adviser, who has come
forward today to identify himself as the source of the leaks,” Mr.
Shuster said.

Trouble is, Martin Eisenstadt doesn’t exist. His blog does, but it’s a
put-on. The think tank where he is a senior fellow — the Harding
Institute for Freedom and Democracy — is just a Web site. The TV clips
of him on YouTube are fakes.

Fox News stands behind the story though. Hahahahaha!!!
