fear and loathing on fraternity row

[sisyphusshrugged]

Rush Limbaugh:

Apparently, the pictures that are, the picture going around of the uh, the nude Iraqi picture cowering in fear of a couple of dogs. The caption of that picture that I've seen going around, uh, intimates that the dog was on the verge of attacking this guy, and he was very scared and so forth. In the picture that I saw the dogs were leashed and the correct caption would be "Nude Iraqi picture scared of dog but not attack [sic]." Apparently -- there's not a picture of it -- but apparently uh, well, there's another picture later where the nude Iraqi prisoner no longer cowering, um, in the corner against his cell, he's writhing on the floor with a pool of blood. Apparently, the dog did bite his leg, but there's no picture of that. I have just been, uh, informed of this. So I wanted to, uh, pass that on to make sure that the pass that on to make sure that the facts are out there. There's no picture of that, but apparently that's what uh, what happened. Sorry for the error. ...

"Oh, and one more point I, uh, one point point we must all never forget. This is all Bill Clinton's fault! Anyone who doesn't see that is a traitor."

It's so wonderful seeing that blowhard have to backpeddle.

It's worth reading his original blather.

Your post links to an "intermediate" site. I drilled down and found Media Matters. That has all sorts of good stuff on Rush.

It makes me wonder: Would Rush have bothered to make a correction if it weren't for Media Matters?

Is he back on the pills? How can people even listen to him. He can't even put together a coherent sentence!
