We have to remember, as we wait for appologies, that to the Palin haters it isn't about truth, the damage is done already since the majority of American people can't be bothered to do half the research that most of us here do.
The hoax has already entered the American public's consciousness as a known fact. I argued this already today with a co-worker who just assumes I'm lying to cover for Palin. We're down to probably 10-15 copy editors now that run the country.

Well, well, well.... It appears that this was a HOAX!
Sarah Palin Leaker Outs Himself...and Turns Out to Be a Hoaxer!
(Check out the update below. Apparently this leaker is actually a hoaxer. Did Carl Cameron get scammed with completely false information?)
The leaker who "revealed" to Carl Cameron of FOX News that Sarah Palin didn't know that Africa was a continent or which nations were in the North American Free Trade Agreement has outed himself. First of all the leaker turned out not to be Mitt Romney nor one of his associates as some have suspected. More importantly, the leaker's own revelation does not show that Sarah Palin didn't know that Africa was a continent nor that she didn't know which countries were in the NAFTA. Okay, so who is the leaker? Drum roll please, maestro! And the leaker is....Martin Eisenstadt, a McCain campaign adviser. Eisenstadt revealed himself to be the leaker and his reasons for leaking in his blog:
...
UPDATE: It turns out that Carl Cameron might have been scammed by a hoaxer. Here is information about "Martin Eisenstadt" from SourceWatch:
HOAX WARNING RE "M. THOMAS EISENSTADT" AND THE "HARDING INSTITUTE FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY"
"M. Thomas Eisenstadt" is a pseudonym used to describe someone who claims to be a "Senior Fellow at the Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy in Washington, D.C.[1] A "bio" note claims that "Eisenstadt" is the "founder and president of the campaign consulting firm The Eisenstadt Group and was an advisor to the Rudolph Giuliani presidential campaign in 2007-2008."[2]
According to the "bio" note, "Eisenstadt" was described by the Wall Street Journal as "one of the foremost commentators on issues of U.S. policy towards the Middle East and is one of the bright lights of the neoconservative movement."[2] He cites National Journal’s The Hotline as referring to himself as “a rising GOP pundit” and “a clear-spoken advocate for Rudy Giuliani.”[2]
What kind of idiot would make this stuff up and then "out" himself to the public? My question to him would be - why? Revealing it to be a hoax now may make Sarah Palin look a little better, but it seems that his original plan was to smear her. Why the change in heart?

She has a lot of supporters who are peeved at the smear job. She's not being handled any longer and is speaking out now. Others who were there are speaking out in defense of her. Who knows why the jerk admitted it was a hoax other than to possibly try to lessen the damage to his longterm employment in the Beltway?
