Well, Mr. Hurley,
I can promise you Sarah Palin doesn’t think FDR was president and doing televised explanations of the Great Depression like Joe Biden does. (did you miss his interview on CBS – don’t look now but Drudge has the story.)

The problem with the rumor mill is that the media doesn’t fulfill their obligations to debunk before reporting so they are complicit rather than watchdogs. Fake but accurate has become a national media motto.
