2. Try Google, lots of debunking, but the story had legs before debunking occurred. Mark Twain's "a lie
can run around the world before the truth get's it boots on" comes to mind.

6. politifact.com
...is run by the St. Petersburg Times, and it's a generally great resource for debunking. They did a piece on the India trip.

Also, Rachel Maddow is gleefully devoting a new segment of her show to debunking political myths. That's great. And it has to be pointed out (a lot of people don't seem to know): Rachel's show and "Countdown" are both available as free downloads on iTunes, if you don't have MSNBC. They aren't available until a few hours after airtime, but they're great breakfast viewing.
