Lamest Limbaugh Hit Piece Ever?

The New York Daily News may as well just put the obsessive Rush transcribers from Media Matters on the payroll. Why bother employing this hack when all she does is copy and paste their material?

There was an eyebrow-raising exchange Tuesday between radio host Rush Limbaugh and a caller in which Limbaugh makes a racist comment about Gov. Paterson.

And what is the alleged racist comment? She "conveniently" has a transcription of a conversation betwen Limbaugh and a caller.

CALLER: Yeah. Hey, listen. Interesting sidebar to that Eric Massa mess for Democrats. You know, our besieged governor, David Paterson, will be charged with naming a replacement for Massa. And I'm wondering if there's any chance, do you think that Paterson...

RUSH LIMBAUGH: Wait a minute.

CALLER: ...will exact some revenge on Obama, Emanuel, Cuomo, the whole Democratic gulag, by appointing a Republican or, at the very least, a DINO - a Democrat in name only?

LIMBAUGH: Are you sure that Paterson appoints or is there a special election?

CALLER: I am reasonably sure that Paterson will be appointing the replacement, assuming that he, you know, doesn't resign in the next 60 or 90 days.

LIMBAUGH: Let's assume you're right. So, David Paterson will become the massa...

CALLER: Yes.

LIMBAUGH: ...who gets to appoint whoever gets to take Massa's place. So, for the first time in his life, Paterson's gonna be a massa. Interesting, interesting.

Seems like a pretty innocuous take on the name Massa. Now lets see if you can spot the similarities between her "reporting" and this item from the tools at Media Matters.

CALLER: Yeah. Hey, listen. Interesting sidebar to that Eric Massa mess for Democrats. You know, our besieged governor, David Paterson, will be charged with naming a replacement for Massa. And I'm wondering if there's any chance -- do you think that Paterson --

RUSH LIMBAUGH: Wait a minute.

CALLER: -- will exact some revenge on Obama, Emanuel, Cuomo, the whole Democratic gulag, by appointing a Republican or, at the very least, a DINO -- a Democrat in name only?

Hmm. Completely identical.

This may be the laziest piece of "reporting" I've ever seen. Is this what the Daily News is paying her for?

Funny, but I thought the purpose of the punks at Media Matters was ostensibly to report on the media, not spoonfeed them their material.
