Mark: (Wow...what a response to Limbaugh! Better order up a fresh batch of lies!) Hi folks! It's truth detector time again! Your response to our Rush Limbaugh Lie Contest was so overwhelming, we thought we'd bring you a second edition. So here we go - actual Rush lies! Can you find all 7? Good luck! Rush Limbaugh: It was only 4,000 votes - had they gone another way in Chicago - Richard Nixon would have been elected in 1960! By the way, those gas lines were a direct result of oil powers playing tough because they didn't fear Jimmy Carter! It's a proven fact! Here's another item - there are more American Indians alive today than when Columbus arrived! I'm not making this up, folks! Nor this - we have more acreage of forest land in the U.S. today than we did at the time the Constitution was written! The poorest people in America are better off than the mainstream families of Europe! I might also point out that economic disparities between the lower and upper classes were greater during the 1950's! And did you know that a 5-year study of 5,000 co-eds found that the larger the bra size, the smaller the IQ? Absolutely true story! Boopsie: (Huh?) Mark: Whew! Had enough lies? Then maybe you should give this fine feature a try! We get our facts right over 97% of the time - a whopping 43% more often than Rush! So make the switch! You won't be sorry!
