Whoops

The funny thing is, the claims this guy made (for instance, that Palin didn't know the difference between Sunni and Shiite) were more believable than some other, anonymously-sourced ones that are widely repeated as fact (say, that she didn't know Africa was a continent). Still: My bad. Stupid Intertubes.

P.S. See Ben Smith for more on the larger phenomenon.
