A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.

Great collection of Sunday funnies!
The so called McCain advisors that attacked Palin never existed. It was two online comedians that have been quoted by different media outlets. It’s not like the comedians were pranking the media, they would just go to the website and pick up some quotes.

Another major stories that came from the comedians was that the Hiltons didn’t like Paris Hilton used in a McCain Ads and “Joe the Plumber” was releated to Charles Keating.
To Greg Dittman:
Here’s a quote from the NY Times story you linked, above:
The story didn’t originate from a blog. It originated on Fox New Channel. I was watching when the story broke. It was a Fox on-air reporter, who claimed that he personally got the information from insiders working in the McCain campaign, who wished to remain anonymous.

Fox does acknowledge that the stories were false. There is no mention of Palin’s advisers on their website, just a story where the media was duped. Here is Fox’s news story clearly saying the comic was the source.
“David Shuster, an anchor for the cable news network, said on air Monday that Martin Eisenstadt, a McCain policy adviser, had come forth and identified himself as the source of a FOX News Channel story saying Palin had mistakenly believed Africa was a country instead of a continent.”

Fox did not “acknowledge that the stories were false.” You guys really should read the articles that you cite and to which you link.
