okay, i realize we all have strong opinions regarding the "billionaire" post, but i mirror and posted it to digg as soon as it showed up on here... after about three hours it had over two hundred diggs and hit the front page. after about five minutes it was completely gone, yet still getting hits and diggs.

it no longer appears under politics or the digg home page.

is this because it's allegedly a hoax? is it because the top five articles in politics on digg show up immediately on the cbsnews politics page? i would argue that, hoax or not, it's entertaining and "digg worthy".

thoughts?

(you may also notice that ron paul's picture on cbs' politics page has been reduced to text only while giuliani smiles at the top of the list)
