Reminds me of the situation last year where inflammatory but fake Limbaugh
quotes were posted to
Wikiquote<http://maaadddog.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/quotation-attributed…
and
became a big deal in the U.S. political blogosphere. This was around the
time Limbaugh was interested in buying an NFL team, which ended up falling
through.
Although admittedly glib, I'll conclude with: Live by the wiki, die by the
wiki...

Can you cite a source for that Nathan? I'd like to
read about that.
Don't be surprised if this whole thing turns out to be a hoax perpetrated
by
Limbaugh himself, and bites Wikipedia in the ass. This bears a striking
resemblance to something Rush has long complained about: "sourced" comments
attributed to him that were on Wikipedia.
Glenn Beck recently planted a small hoax on his radio show, expecting Media
Matters to take the bait, and they did.
I suspect Limbaugh will end up having the last laugh, and it will be at
Wikipedia's expense.

According to Rush Limbaugh's people, the
crack Limbaugh research time
(the best money can buy) discovered the pertinent information in the
cited source itself, not Wikipedia. No leading conservative light,
beacons of rationalism and skepticism, would draw information directly
from such as source as Wikipedia and then repeat it as true with his
or her own imprimatur.
