Don't be surprised if this whole thing turns out to be a hoax perpetrated by 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.
