Seriously, we expect both sides to play politics and play with the spin, but to outright lie about something that's already accepted fact, that's, well, utterly dishonest and says loads about Limbaugh's lack of character, and frankly it says a lot about anyone who still listens to the liar. For the record, not only did the Washington Post ex-blogger admit he plagiarized, but the National Review has discovered, and reported, on numerous additional instances in which the ex-blogger plagiarized even more works. I have no desire to revisit this little episode, but the right needs to watch it if they think they're going to rewrite the history of every misdeed by every Republican. Whether or not one likes the focus that was put on the ex-blogger, he was found out to be a serial plagiarist who endangered not only his own reputation, but the reputation of every publication he ever wrote for, including the National Review - not to mention his character flaws call into question every book he ever edited at Regnery. Serial plagiarism is one of the biggest sins a writer can commit - and rather than be a case where these were the sins of a child, the guy did it even after he left college, and he's only 24 - these aren't youthful indiscretions, they're not indicative of who he was once, they're indicative of who he is NOW. For Limbaugh to not just trivialize it, but outright lie about it, makes one wonder just what standards Limbaugh has for his own work - well, actually, we already know: Limbaugh lies about things that are already established as truth. Then again, they learned from the best: their president.

Limbaugh is a hopeless drug addict who probably will say anything to either avoid jail and keep his drugs flowing and his cover of heterosexuality up. He's severely compromised. Only the truly moronic and clueless believe Rush at this point.
