Huffpo, in 2006, (July 10, 2006), published all these bogus quotes by Jack Huberman.

Strange huffpo, couldn’t back up those claims and pulled them.

Anyone know if those quotes were pulled in 2006 or Oct. 2009?

Can’t help but notice that their “Comment” section on this post has “under maintenance” for the last 4 days.

Huffpo CYA?

Rush Limbaugh is STILL Screwing Up America

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this post contained quotes attributed to Rush Limbaugh, which Limbaugh has since denied making. As is our policy when a fact in a blog post is called into question, we gave its author 24 hours to substantiate the quote. Since he has not been able to do so, the quotes have been deleted from the post.

This is the third Huffpost excerpt from my new book (Jack Huberman

How convenient that they didn’t retract/clarify until AFTER he was dropped from the bidding. They got what they wanted.

How about an open apology to Rush Limbaugh? A real one? It is no wonder CNN is getting creamed by Fox News.

Hasn’t CNN basically slipped from first place to fourth place over the years? Good. If I took over that network there would be a clean sweep and the first two faces I’d want to see in my office (with their keys) are Rick Sanchez and Anderson Cooper.

So, just to clarify – we spread lies and rumors, and smeared someone, which led to him being dropped from the bid committee. So, we are responsible for spreading hate and lies, and his subsequent loss of the team. It is our fault.

Equal Time! I demand that they circulate some questionable rumors about the left.

WOW CNN is sure honest. In CNNAMfix, this morning, some real genius wrote that the Porkulus job numbers had gaffes. But the gentleman who wrote it managed to avoid quoting the seven or eight thousand stories about how the Dems are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on temporary, part time jobs or that spending has been delayed while cronies or relatives of connected people are planning how to best carve up all that tasty pork.

Confession. I used to think that CNN was credible. Then I watched ole Rick once or twice.

SUE, RUSH, SUE!

I get the impression Rush wants to take the moral high road to allow his attack dogs (fans) to do his bidding. He has many loyal listeners and friends who are actively calling, writing, emailing, blogging, etc., about his story.

He doesn’t need the hassle and/or waste of money.

Umm, seriously, this is a straight forward lawsuit of absolute malice. As in, “reckless disregard for the truth”. If he couldn’t be bothered to verify b4 gleefully running w/it, and Rush didn’t get the team b/c of it and many others, than it is clearly a “damages” issue. SUE, RUSH, SUE!

If I recall correctly Rush had a few positive things
to say about Sanchez about a year ago. Sanchez when
into his hate mode in just after that with the crap he
pulled this week and some other nonsense starting around
election time. Complete koolaid makeover.

Shuster is just a pu$$y not worthy of comment.

Hey Shuster when the jury says we find for the plaintiff Mr Limbaugh in the amount of 150,000,000 will you still have that stupid look on your face?

I stole your quote a number of times, with great glee. Sanchez’s illiterate, drunk fans have been treated to it on every post he has on his blog.
