Was the photo of Sarah Palin wearing a mini skirt a hoax?

The photograph of Sarah Palin wearing a leather mini skirt in front of a home bar is a proven hoax, according the Daily Mail. The photograph is a digitally manipulated image combining a picture of an unknown woman wearing a mini skirt with a photograph of Palin's head.

The photograph of Sarah Palin wearing a mini skirt is one of a number of digitally manipulated hoax images of the politician and political commentator circulating on the Internet. An equally racy image of Sarah Palin poolside and clad in an American flag bikini while brandishing a scoped rifle is also a confirmed hoax, states the Daily Mail.
