Don't be surprised if this whole thing turns out

Limbaugh himself, and bites Wikipedia in the ass. This bears a striking
resemblance to something Rush has long complained about: "sourced" comments
attributed to him that were on Wikipedia.
If Limbaugh or those working for him had perpetrated the hoax, they
wouldn't have put "June 31" as the date. What we can learn from this
is setting up edit filters (if there are enough edits like this to
justify it) to catch fake dates. Such edit filters may already exist.
Failing that, we can search the live text for other fake (or mis-typed
as impossible) dates that are in articles at the moment.
