		<description><![CDATA[<p>Oops!  Former <em>Observer</em> reporter Ben Smith, who now has a blog for <em>The Politico</em> that's a favorite of campaign junkies, <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1107/Dollars_for_Comments.html">wrote a post</a> earlier today about <a href="http://voteforhillaryonline.blogspot.com/">this</a> &quot;independent pro-Hillary site,&quot; which offers to pay people $1 for every pro-Hillary comment they post online. He declared the site &quot;the worst idea of the cycle.&quot; </p>
<p>Problem is, the site's a parody -- as posts like <a href="http://voteforhillaryonline.blogspot.com/2007/11/can-dictatorship-actually-be-good-form.html">this one</a>, on the benefits of dictatorship, or <a href="http://voteforhillaryonline.blogspot.com/2007/11/grassroots-hillary-mission-bumper.html">this one</a>, which urges supporters to put Hillary bumper stickers on strangers' cars, make clear.  </p>
<p>To be fair to Mr. Smith, many other people, including some of his own commenters and a blogger at DailyKos, also fell for it.  He's since posted an update acknowledging the mistake.     </p>
