Yesterday. The whoppers flow between him and his callers, but this time the caller was SO outlandish that he had to rein it in somewhat.
We know 1980, the October Surprise, most of all how tampering with and stealing elections is in the B.F.E.E. DNA, so much so that hardly anybody calls "conspiracy theory" on the 1980 RAYGUN antics.
And I could write a book on LIMBOsevic's mastery of propaganda rhetorical techniques, beginning from when he burst on the national scene and most Libs weren't paying attention to him.
And by now there's almost nothing on his carnival that shocks, we're so inured to the lies, the ridiculing, the distorting language back on itself. But yesterday in the bare couple of minutes with the car radio, I almost crashed at the effrontery.
This caller's premise was that President OBAMA was just faking whatever against ISIS to cover himself blah blah whatever.
Then came the stunner. That it was the same as what Jimmy CARTER did, TIMING THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES to make RAYGUN look bad. ***************** WHAT?????????????????????!1 **********
Even LIMBOsevic was stunned at the blatant cheek and the wheels in his head were audible while he tried to head this dude off. From the beginning of his national career his aim was to rehabilitate wingnutism by silencing the fringe BIRCHERs and others to make wingnutism "respectable." So he stopped the caller and just about admitted everything we here say about 1980, saying that the hostages were released, not only AFTER the election, but also not until RAYGUN was to be sworn in. So it would be far too late to make CARTER look good.
Now it's hard to know whether the caller was even alive in 1980, but this extent of whopperism is unmatched even among TeaBaggers, Michael WEINER Savage, or other la-la-NUTS. It was too much even for LIMBOsevic, who knows that being SO fringe will undermine his entire raison d'etre of rehabilitating wingnuttiness.

But to keep the yuks going here's a Dave joke: Valentines Day is named for Saint Valentine. And Groundhog Day is named for Saint Groundhog.
Then (below) his Top 10 about Brian WILLIAMS, cheeky since it was on LETTERMANs show that WILLIAMS problems exploded.
