Remember that "Schwarzkopf repudiates DNC dirty tricks" story on Drudge yesterday?

It was one of those classic stories that causes you to lose faith in both sides. Before this story, all the RNC could come up with were some overzealous voter registration tales - nothing as offensive as the disgusting stuff the RNC has pulled this year. The "developing" story that appeared for a few hours was the first story that really made me wonder if my partisanship was naive...

Well, turns out I'm not naive. The RNC doctored a phone call by Tony McPeak and tried to pass it off as Schwarzkopf.

Did they really think they could get away with this?
