Speaking of Hoaxes…
By Besides not actually calling and denouncing non-existent African press organizations, Michelle Obama was also rumored the other day to have gorged herself on $450 worth of Iranian (ZOMG!) caviar, lobster and champagne at the NY Waldorf-Astoria. The pearl-clutching news, circulated on Limbaugh’s show and elsewhere, apparently derived from a New York Post gossip item that’s been deleted because — imagine this — Michelle Obama was nowhere near NYC on Wednesday.
Readers will be stunned, of course, to learn that self-proclaimed PUMA sites are promoting the story, complete with transparently awful photoshopped images of Michelle Obama’s “receipt.”
Even the renowned Citizen Journamalist TIDOS Yankee has scrubbed his post about the non-existent lobster feast. Probably because the Obama campaign threatened to add him to the Obama Death List.
…Whoopsie! I hadn’t actually seen this at TIDOS Yankee — it was at Americandonkeypunch. Even better!
