Your post is full of assumptions that just aren't so.

1. I am not a fan of Limbaugh. I just happen to think that he was not "mocking". You assume I am defending him because he is on my side. That is not the case. I think that everyone here who is characterizing him as "Mocking" are doing themselves, and their "side" a disservice. It is not to one's side's advantage to impugn someone for "mocking" who can demonstrate that he was not "mocking".

2. Limbaugh, in the circumstances under which he did what was referred to a "mocking" could not, as you suggest, show a clip. His is a radio show with but a webcam. It is not television.

As to whether Limbaugh will be blamed when the Democrats win in November -- that is probably so -- but it will be because he was successfully characterized as mocking Fox -- not because he was mocking Fox.

And, for the record, again, Limbaugh did not use the word "faking".

If you wanna be wrong about the event, you've got LOTS of company here. *BG*
