Rush Limbaugh Flips to Obama - Political Machine
I remember him pulling off a trick in 1992 when he urged voters to vote for Bill Clinton. Then claimed it was a hoax.

BTW, I was reading TIME magazine yesterday, and Hillary said that Rush always had a "crush" on her. Hmmmm.

dmk | He's certainly very good at what he does and I think still has the highest rated show on radio in the US.
Unfortunately many of his listeners take him far more seriously than he takes himself.
Meanwhile Rush is laughing all the way to the bank.
