Reality Used to be a Friend of Mine

Using a title of a PM Dawn song, to show you how hip and relevant this blog is.

Compare and contrast these two statements, both by Rush Limbaugh.

I mean, Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett. Her story is nothing more than forged documents. There's nothing about it that's real, including the mainstream media's glomming onto it. It's not real.

That statement is from his August 15th broadcast.

Apparently, what's out there is that I said that Cindy Sheehan is no different than Bill Burkett, that Bill Burkett lied and Cindy Sheehan lied. They're actually out there, people saying that I am accusing Cindy Sheehan of making up the fact that she had a son and making up the fact that her son died in Iraq. And of course, I've never said this.

That is from his August 17th, broadcast.

So my question is, does Rush realize he's on the air? Does he realize that people are capable of remembering what he said just two days earlier? Or is he so far gone that reality, for him, is what he says it is?
