This is just too good to not post about. I normally just post a funny video or something if I post at all these days, but I love seeing guys like this exposed for the whack jobs that they are.
It seems that (according to this Yahoo! article) Rush reported on some “news” that actually came from a satirical post at a conservative blog back on August 25th. What makes this soooooo good is that once this Limbaugh fella found out that he was reporting a made up story he defended himself by saying that it’s OK because he knows that “Obama thinks it” even though it was made up. Really? Wow. Here’s the audio:
I really like how he tries to act like this is a story that’s still in progress or may still be true. You see, he’s not lyeing, he’s just not sure. Riiiiiight. “We have to hold out the possibility that this is not accurate”. Way to be intellectually honest Liar Rush. Idiots like Rush, Sean, Coulter et. al. are the reason that our country is so divided right now if you ask me.
Anyway, here are some links about the story from people who are more reliable and better informed than I:
- Joe Klein, who was credited as writing the article in the first place says: “…but I wonder about what the willingness to take this cheesy crap as gospel says about Ledeen’s–and Boss Rush’s–sensibility.”
- Here’s the link to the apology on the Pajamas Media blog
- The Yahoo! article that talked about it.
