MONITORING LIMBAUGH, I'VE BEEN AMAZED AT...

how often he contradicts himself during the same show and Media Matters catches him doing it again today. First, he says the DC tea parties didn't work:
Now, there have been two attempts to rally people at the Capitol in opposition to this. And the reason was that e-mails, phone calls, and faxes were not having any impact. It was theorized that bodies on the ground, boots on the ground, people in the faces of members of the House and Senate was what it would take to make a difference. But those two rallies failed because they essentially didn't happen.

"Who knew about 'em? The mainstream media didn't report them. Nancy Pelosi made sure that the vast majority of people that showed up at these rallies never got anywhere near the Capitol. The Democrats knew that all these protesters were being asked and cajoled to show up so they were able to tell themselves it wasn't genuine -- and the numbers reported were not all that repressive. I mean, the peasants didn't show up with any pitchforks.

Within the hour, he flip-flops:
There's no question that these rallies, tea party movement -- do not get spirited -- those worked. Those were spontaneous uprisings this happen they did slow this down. They wanted to get this down did you know in August. They had tremendous exact and tremendous power, but those are spontaneous things.
