Rush Limbaugh told his listeners Starr does. But Slate’s Mickey Kaus, in an article here titled Sorry, Rush! Guess who’s guilty of ‘Dowdification,’ says that’s flatly wrong — and does a bit of investigation to show readers what Starr really said, and how Limbaugh presented it to his listeners.
Interesting (and perhaps this kind accuracy is part of the reason why Limbaugh’s ratings are reportedly down).
