Will Rush Limbaugh tell the truth now?

[trust no one]

Despite a lack of evidence, several media sources have repeated conservative speculation and accusations that Democrats secretly authored a "talking points" memo that described the Terri Schiavo case as a "great political issue" for Senate Republicans. The Washington Post this morning has set the record straight with its front-page piece on the memo's admitted author, a (then) Republican staffer. (Resigned yesterday)

Earlier this week, when talking of the memo, syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh pointed to a Democratic "opposition research office" and stated: "Apparently the explanation is it was forged! The memo was made up by Democrat staffers."

Now that it is clear the memo was written by Brian Darling, the legal council to Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL), and distributed, at least partly on the Senate floor by Republicans, will Rush set the record straight?

Did not find a link, but is this what you are referring to?

From the March 29 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: [Reading from the Los Angeles Times] "A goal underscored by a [fake] memo ascribed to the Senate leadership that surfaced amid the Schiavo debate in Congress, extolling the political advantages of using the Schiavo case ..."

It's a forged memo! Nobody in the Senate Republican leadership has the slightest idea where this memo came from.

Yes, a good quote. The memo was written by a staffer to Republican Senator Mel Martinez (FL), and was distributed on the floor of the Senate.

Mr. Martinez admitted he had a copy, but had no idea what it was...sure.
