Limbaugh Misquoted on CNN?
Yes, But, However’s John Romano blogs about CNN’s Rick Sanchez attributing a quote to Rush Limbaugh which apparently does not exist…
Yesterday, CNN’s Rick Sanchez quoted controversial talk show host Rish Limbaugh as saying “slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back. I’m just saying it had its merits.”
On today’s show Mr. Limbaugh vehemently denied that he ever said the quote and that he is working behind the scenes to get an “apology” from CNN and other media outlets that have attributed the quote to him. Mr. Limbaugh spent much of his three hour broadcast on the topic.
Update: Video…
Update 2: According to a commenter, Sanchez read Limbaugh’s statement on the air but neither retracted or apologized for the misquote.

Some clown on O’Reilly’s show repeated this smear, and another one similar one, last night.
O’Reilly said his staff researched both of the statements, and could not find one shred of evidence Limbaugh ever said them. Anywhere.

Randi Rhodes on the radio today said: Why are they making up quotes? There’s plenty of real ones to choose from.

Randi Rhodes. There’s my source. You could find a few quotes on her, if anyone actually listened.

I remember Randi Rhodes and her Producer accusing right wingers of attacking her at a bar. The truth was that she was so drunk, she fell down and chipped to her 2 front teeth…

– Randi Rhodes –
She took a pretty good shot at Olbermann, though. Guess no one’s wrong all the time.

Randi was right about the Special Comment. My favorite sermon came at a Catholic church a few months ago. The old Irishman lost his notes, so he paused, looked down for a moment, then leaned back and said, ” God is Love. Love one another.” I got the point.
