“Michael Ledeen now has apologized to me on his blog, claiming that he, Limbaugh and others were punked by a satire. I appreciate the apology…but I wonder about what the willingness to take this cheesy crap as gospel says about Ledeen’s—and Boss Rush’s—sensibility. Actually, on second thought, I don’t wonder all that much.”

Joe Klein, who found himself in the middle of a bizarre situation involving fake Obama quotes.

This is too perfect to be real, isn’t it? It’s tough to dive into the rabbit hole, but one commenter claimed that Rush was playing along with it, but that’s easy to say. And even so, isn’t it still bad? Listeners are still going to run with it as gospel. Guy has to take some responsibility, either way, he’s not Colbert.

So the new question becomes whether or not conservatives who tut-tutted liberals who fell for the fake Limbaugh quotes admit that we’re all capable of falling for crap.  Guys?

WHO WILL SATE THE SATIRISTS?
