Not surprised to hear you say that you didn't know anything about Jesse Macbeth. That goes to show you how "fair and balanced" (one of your favorite terms) the reporting on this story has been. I went into Factiva earlier today and searched for "limbaugh" and "macbeth" and got ZERO results. Do you understand what that means? NONE of the major "news" agencies reported Rush's clarification. As he stated, he was referring to the "phoney hero's" story run by abc news that you used to be able to watch here, but now, shockingly, for some reason it seems to skip over the story. You can still see the title though. Maybe they always delete stories or maybe there's another reason for taking it down...:

The story covers multiple frauds, that's why he he said "soldiers" in the plural, even though he only specifically mentioned Macbeth by name because he's been the most influential among the gullible.

He spoke about the news story 1 minute and 50 seconds after he made the "phoney soldiers" comment to the caller, proving that it was on his mind. It was unfortunate timing by him that led to the ambiguity. As far as your "transcript" from the laughable media matters, it very conveniently ends before he begins to discuss the "phoney heros" story 1 min and 50 seconds later. Wonder why so many people besides you are ignorant to the facts?

When Kerry made his infamous "stuck in Iraq" comment you were the first to say "he misspoke...take it in context..." blah blah blah. Now when it comes to a conservative, you try him as guilty as charged, even BEFORE you know the whole story (by your own admission)!

With only an 11% approval rate, it seems pretty obvious that your guys in Congress are trying to distract from how fed up the country is with them. Are you in the 11% crowd and want more of this partisan bs trashing of Americans?
