It must have seemed so perfect. An obscure blogger unearths some pages of President Obama's college thesis. The report supposedly comes from big-time journalist Joe Klein of Time magazine. And the thesis has some real gems: like Obama's disdain for the Constitution.

The whole thing was nothing more than a satirical post on a humor blog. But Rush Limbaugh, who quoted from the supposed thesis on his radio show, sure wasn't laughing. Here's how it went down.

An unknown blogger picked up on a made-up post meant as a joke, which claimed that Joe Klein had gotten his hands on 10 pages of student Obama's college thesis. Rush Limbaugh jumped on it, which immediately sparked Web searches on "obama thesis."

Supposedly titled "Aristocracy Revisited," the excerpt revealed the president had "doubts" about the "so-called founders." Juicy. Except not true. Limbaugh discovered halfway through his show that he'd been had, but defended himself by saying basically the thesis felt true. Listen in to Rush's mea sorta culpa.

Joe Klein finally jumped in, and called the report "nonsense" on his Swampland blog, and the blogger who thought the hoax was real also apologized.

Let's hope someone kept their sense of humor in all this. Still, for a humble post to go from humor blog to major media outlet sure seems impressive. Someone ought to write their thesis on it. For real.

I like Rush and I would love to see him one day become President or VP of this great nation. As far as him getting punked, big deal. Obama gets punked at least twice a day from rich white boys.

When did you renounce your American citizenship? I can't believe you now hate your former country so much.

Well considering no one can find any of Obamas college papers or what he wrote as editor and then president of Harvard Law Review, go figure.

Never have I seen a Man who went to such great lengths to hide his early lifes work.

Thats probably because he feels EXACTLY like the faux thesis portrays him. Although the thesis may be a hoax, it reads just like Obama wrote it himself. One only needs to look at those Obama has been surrounded by his whole life including today.
Ive never seen anyone with such utter contempt for American values, the American way of life and Capitalism that built this country.

Really. We all know that W did better than Kerry at Yale, and that McCain graduated near the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy...but regarding President Obama, we don't really know a thing. I wonder why...maybe one reason is that if his real thesis or any other academic papers were released, it would be obvious that he didn't really write his books...who knows, it's all left to conjecture.

This was easy enough to find, and something the Obama campaign quickly acknowledged as his writing from his days at Columbia:

Great now if we could only find the tomes of his days as a Professor, his actual thesis from college, his memos from HLR. But we cant because its been sanitized for our protection.

As much as I agree with your feelings towards Limbaugh, Clinton and Obama set a precedence in voting in a druggie and a draft dodger.

I heard all this stuff on Rush's show. Once again, Rush manipulates the press. He is the puppet master and the puppets are the press and the left, not the dittoheads.

It is so easy for Rush, even with half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair. It is clear to see, the man does have talent on loan from God. Very Cool indeed.
