Rush is getting sloppy…. I’ve observed this over the past few months, but mostly kept it to myself. There are lots of pressures on him from both directions, and being distracted by the NFL thing is probably a factor…
I had heard him mentioning Obama’s Thesis during testing, but missed the part that he was relying on information that turned out not to be true.

It was a piece of satire that morphed itself into “truth”. It’s human nature that you will let down your guard of skepticism when you see information that supports the view you want to believe. This is really going to to dig into the almost always right rating for a while.

While I get the comparison to his NFL experience, it falls a bit flat since he didn’t know it was a hoax when he was reading it on the air….
