    Rush Limbaugh endorses Martin Eisenstadt’s new book - “Way better than the Bible”

    Today on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh praised the new book by Martin Eisenstadt, “I Am Martin Eisenstadt: One Man’s (Wildly Inappropriate) Adventures with the Last Republicans.”

    Limbaugh spoke for more than an hour about the book, giving it extremely high praise.

    “This Eisenstadt, he has written the best book on politics I’ve ever read,” said Limbaugh. “This book is way, way better than the Bible. You can quote me, Rush Limbaugh, on that.”

    Limbaugh went on to say that the book has changed his life, and he demanded all his followers to buy it, immediately.

    “If you don’t buy ‘I Am Martin Eisenstadt: One Man’s (Wildly Inappropriate) Adventures with the Last Republicans.,’ then you are clearly not the type of person I want listening to my show,” said Limbaugh. Take my word for it - I, Rush Limbaugh, love this book.”

    “I Am Martin Eisenstadt: One Man’s (Wildly Inappropriate) Adventures with the Last Republicans,” will be available in bookstores tomorrow, Oct. 27.

    Update: Several readers have come forward to let me know that I’ve been hoaxed and that Limbaugh said no such things. Regardless, I don’t care if the quotes are made up. I know Limbaugh thinks it.

    When Rush finally realized he'd been hoaxed, he didn't apologize.  He simply said, "So I shout from the mountaintops: 'It was satire!' But we know he (Eisenstadt) thinks it. Good comedy, to be comedy, must contain an element of truth." (from the NYDailyNews)
