Howard Chua Eoan is the news director of Time Magazine, so one might expect him not to fall for a hoax months after it's been revealed to be a hoax. Yet, the article "Tweets From a Washington Dinner (a.k.a. #nerdprom)" (link, via this) by him ("hchuaeoan") and an unknown person using "ssss1222" contains the following "tweet":
Marty Eisenstadt, former McCain Adviser. (4 pm.)
Ran into Val Kilmer, still on couch at Haddad's house. We're splitting cab to #nerdprom when he stands up. Could be a while.
In fact, "Eisenstadt" (real name: Eitan Gorlin) is behind the "Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy", a fake think tank at hardinginstitute.org. Others fell for the hoax too, but that was months ago. ("Haddad" apparently refers to Tammy Haddad, former executive producer of the Chris Matthews show on MSNBC; she hosted a party before the "prom".)
