POLITICO: E-mails, conspiracy rumors plague Palin. “With good reason, Sarah Palin has been touted as the right’s answer to Barack Obama. And in one especially important way, her abrupt rise from obscurity has given her something else in common with the Democratic nominee: she has catalyzed a fevered subculture of forwarded e-mails and viral conspiracy theories.” Yeah, I got the bogus Palin book-ban list via some librarians last night. Kind of ironic.
