MSNBC's Rachel Maddow was red-faced Tuesday after it emerged she and her producers had fallen for a satirical article jokingly calling for a US invasion of Egypt led by Sarah Palin.

The article, titled "As Egypt Descends in Chaos, Should Sarah Palin Support a US-Led Invasion?," argued that "the escalating crisis in Egypt could become a defining moment for Sarah Palin."

"To be clear, this is what these folks are asking Sarah Palin to do, this is not Palin's own idea," Maddow told her audience Monday night.
