Yesterday we blogged about Big Talker Michael Smerconish interviewing a woman who "purported" to be "Ellie Light," the energetic and deceitful letter writer, scold and Barack Obama supporter. It turns out Smerconish, just like dozens of newspapers around the country, was punked.

"Ellie Light" doesn't exist. The person purporting to be her isn't even A WOMAN.

Gawker has the story, which just gets weirder and weirder.
