Were they credible when they said Sarah Palin was getting a divorce, the article you cited? How about the story that said Obama was gay?

Shooting one liners is all you people are good for. In the US educational system our grading system is A, B, C, D, F with no E(which means the sequence of ABCDF is far from moronic to use), so if I accidentally forgot to put E that is not an issue, unless you are an imbecile. I bet your favorite comedy in the late nineties was Home Improvement or maybe even Roseanne.
