Limbaugh-- SEE! I told you they were GOING TO drill off Cuba

[underpants]

Caught a few minutes of his show at lunch. Remember how Mel Martinez took the Senate floor to expose the lie that Russians and Chinese and everyone else WERE drilling off the coast of Cuba? Limbaugh, as usual, was part of the echo chamber. Now that it MAY HAPPEN (probably WILL) he took this opportunity to tell his listeners about how right he had been all along.

For them rightwing "word professionals" like George Will and Rush I guess present tense and future tense really don't matter.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Despite the warnings of Dick Cheney, George Will, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, the Russians are not drilling for oil off Cuba. Neither are the Chinese. In fact, no one — not even Cuba — is drilling for oil off Cuba.

The pesky and persistent rumor, bubbling back up with the Deepwater Horizon disaster, is still nothing more than a pesky and persistent rumor — aired in 2008 by former Vice President Cheney (who got the misinformation from conservative columnist Will), repeated on Fox News and recently revived by conservative radio commentator Limbaugh, who told his listeners 10 days after the spill: "The Russians are drilling in a deal with the Cubans in the Gulf. The Vietnamese and Angola are drilling for oil in the Gulf in deals with the Cubans."

However, as oil from BP's exploded well continues surging from the Gulf floor and washing onto Panhandle beaches, the rumor is poised to become fact.

1. Some day, Rush *will* diddle young kids - so fire him now

2. If we weren't such dicks about Cuba, we'd be drilling there.

3. And after the BP catastrophe, the U.S. is in no position to object on safety and environmental groun

But Cuba doesn't need to drill -- if it just waits, the oil will float right to it.
