Their hoax that Eisenstadt was the one who leaked the Palin info has created a new false meme - that they were the ones who fooled Cameron in the first place, thus the original smears were not true and that Palin deserves an apology. This just isn’t the case, and even Mirvish has admitted as such. Nonetheless, I’m feeling pretty confident that many, many people will believe that Cameron was hoaxed, regardless.

Having one of biggest newspapers on the planet insinuate that you’re a hoax - not so much. Update: From Jerry Ludwig in comments: “I believe in you!

Seriously, I think the tongue in cheek in the Times would only confuse the people who voted for McCain. Oh no!, that's 46% of the country. I'm sorry. But the rest of us believe in you, and science, and evolution and global warming. The original hoaksters gave you quite a kudos. Good job! I believe in you!
