Rush Limbaugh Punked

Rush Was Punked: “Obama Thesis” Hoax
by Claudine Zap

It must have seemed so perfect. An obscure blogger unearths some pages of President Obama's college thesis. The report supposedly comes from big-time journalist Joe Klein of Time magazine. And the thesis has some real gems: like Obama's disdain for the Constitution.

The whole thing was nothing more than a satirical post on a humor blog. But Rush Limbaugh, who quoted from the supposed thesis on his radio show, sure wasn't laughing. Here's how it went down.

An unknown blogger picked up on a made-up post meant as a joke, which claimed that Joe Klein had gotten his hands on 10 pages of student Obama's college thesis. Rush Limbaugh jumped on it, which immediately sparked Web searches on "obama thesis."

Supposedly titled "Aristocracy Revisited," the excerpt revealed the president had "doubts" about the "so-called founders." Juicy. Except not true. Limbaugh discovered halfway through his show that he'd been had, but defended himself by saying basically the thesis felt true. Listen in to Rush's mea sorta culpa.

Joe Klein finally jumped in, and called the report "nonsense" on his Swampland blog, and the blogger who thought the hoax was real also apologized.

Let's hope someone kept their sense of humor in all this. Still, for a humble post to go from humor blog to major media outlet sure seems impressive. Someone ought to write their thesis on it. For real.

Years ago once when I was trapped into listening to him, rush was going on
and on about an article

and I knew it was from the Onion

rush was oblivious then and now

but he does like to hear himself spew

Yep and that's why they payed him $400 mil to do this.

Limbarf must love to be buried in shit, because that's all he ever spews.

I remember a while back when Olberman was calling Limbaugh out on some of his behaviors and Olberman was showing some clips of Limbaugh jumping up and down, and I'm thinking, does Limbaugh really do this? I mean, it's really hard to distinguish his behavior from that of a child throwing a temper tantrum. :unsure:

RU$H FALLS INTO A HOLE WITH HIS MOUTH AND THEN HAS TO EAT HIS WAY OUT OF IT! <_<

WHAT ELSE IS NEW? SORRY I MISSED THAT ONE! DAD GUM IT! REAL BELLYLAUGHS GONE TO WASTE! ^_^

TURD POLISHING ANYBODY?
