Rush Limbaugh Is Now An Even Bigger, Fatter, More Dishonest Idiot

Here's a story about the man with brains on loan from a dust mite:

Not everyone ignored it: Rush Limbaugh, for instance. �There�s a piece in the World Tribune today�one of the papers in the United Kingdom�exactly as theorized on this program early on,� he said on his radio show. �It�s unconfirmed, but it�s a story that many of the weapons of mass destruction are at present buried in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon.� Fox News, catering to a similar demographic, enlisted a military analyst that evening to discuss potential ramifications�military intervention in Lebanon?�on �The O�Reilly Factor.� According to the story, the weapons were probably delivered to the Bekaa Valley, a Hezbollah stronghold, in a caravan of tractor-trailers that was spotted leaving Iraq in January, two months before the war began, as part of a multimillion- dollar storage deal between Saddam Hussein and the Syrian government.

In fact, the World Tribune is not published in the United Kingdom, nor is it, to be precise, a newspaper. It is a Web site produced, more or less as a hobby, in Falls Church, Virginia, and is dedicated to the notion, as its mission statement explains, that �there is a market for news of the world and not just news of the weird.�

Also of interest: The World Tribune is a Moonie e-rag: "Its editor and publisher, Robert Morton, is an assistant managing editor at the Washington Times and a former 'corporate editor' for News World Communications, the Times� owner and the publishing arm of the Unification Church, led by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon." Could it be that when Moon says jump, Rush and O'Reilly say, "yes, Father."
