A little election news I didn't get to blog over the weekend.
* More on the improbable Sarah Palin prank call, including an explanation of how they did it. As with the compromising of Sarah Palin's Yahoo account, the key was social engineering.
"It really took a lot of work," he said.* As a Conservative, I Must Say I Do Quite Like the Cut of this Obama Fellow's Jib.
"We had to go through the Secret Service, the people in her entourage. It's the biggest coup so far. We're proud to add (this prank) to our top hits."
* There's just no way Lois Lane votes Republican.
* A Pennsylvania judge has ruled against another GOP voter suppression scheme in the state.
* But student votes are still being illegally challenged in Virginia.
* McCain is doing a campaign event in his home state, never a good sign.
* And why did McCain go on Saturday Night Live to participate in a skit mocking not him but his running mate? Things must be getting pretty fratricidal over on Team McCain.

Breaking radio silence on the incredible news of the Sarah Palin prank call.
A Quebec comedy duo notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state has reached Sarah Palin, convincing the Republican vice-presidential nominee she was speaking with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.Impossibly, it's true. Here's the audio.
How could the McCain campaign have ever allowed this to happen? Is anyone minding the store over there?

I'm not usually all that impressed with Improv Everywhere, but I have to admit this Grand Central Station prank is pretty good.
