I mean come on. the man is lying about his citizenship, he's broken soo many campaign promises even the Afrterican Americans are disenchanted with him (thus the 49% popularity rating). He's making cozy with leaders who have always been anti America and he is allowing soo many illegals to remain that American born workers cant get jobs and you think setting Rush up is something he couldnt or qouldnt do?

According to the OP it was set up to look just like a Time Magazine news story:

And then when Rush learned that he had been mislead he immediately said so:

Hardly the crime of the century.

The video in question is an audio clip with an old photo of Rush, before he shed the weight, just more evidence that Mediamatters is a heavily biased website. In the audio clip he explained why he was joking that it didn't matter if it was true...

Too bad you missed out on the humor. It was kinda funny.

So we have to hold out the possibility that this is not accurate.  However, I have had this happen to me recently.  I have had quotes attributed to me that were made up, and when it was pointed out to the media that the quotes were made up, they said, "It doesn't matter! We know Limbaugh thinks it anyway."  Sort of like Dan Rather said, "I don't care if these documents are forged. I know that Bush did what he did at the National Guard.  I don't care if the documents are forged."  I don't care if the Limbaugh quotes are made up.  So, I can say, "I don't care if these quotes are made up. I know Obama thinks it.  You know why I know Obama thinks it?  Because I've heard him say it."  Not about the Constitution, but about the Supreme Court.  Again, 2001, FM radio station interview in Chicago when he was a state senator in Illinois. 

OBAMA 2001:  If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples so that, uh, I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at a lunch counter and -- and order and as long as I could pay for it I'd be okay.  But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society.

RUSH: Now, he's talking about the Warren Court "never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth."  So we've got a supposed piece from his college thesis at Columbia where he complains that the Constitution didn't talk about the distribution of wealth.  So we know that it's on his mind.  So even if he didn't say it, I know he thinks it.  That's how it works now in the media.  And I do know he thinks it because I just heard what I heard, and so did you.  Let's see.

How many dems wanted his position?  Hillary would have given both her tits to become president.  An attempt to fraudulently claim citizenship, proven fake by her, would have won her much with both parties.  Think about it....[;)]

Sanity, you aren't trying to explain Rush, and how funny he can be, to people who don't get that kind of humor, are you?
