Oh Rush, Rush Rush... Finally you prove you are an un-American moron, who doesn't even know as much about the documents as elementary school kids are supposed to. I may have been able to acccept it as a mistake if you said you just confused documents (may have been, but unlikely as a described "defender of the Constitution"), but adding words to the preamble of the Consti - I mean, the Declaration of Independence? What is it you prescribe for anti-Americans, wishing this country to fail? Show us you're a man of your convictions and go check into Gitmo while you can.

During his much-discussed keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, Rush Limbaugh accused Barack Obama of pursuing the "bastardization of the U.S. Constitution."
It was one of the more politically acidic notes in a speech defined by rambling political assaults. But the conservative talk show host wasn't exactly standing on firm footing. Just a few moments earlier he himself had actually -- not theoretically -- "bastardized" the Constitution by confusing it with the Declaration of Independence.
From Limbaugh's speech:
We want every American to be the best he or she chooses to be. We recognize that we are all individuals. We love and revere our founding documents, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. [Applause] We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. [Applause] Liberty, Freedom. [Applause] And the pursuit of happiness...
Limbaugh, it seems, meant to say "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," which, of course, is in the Declaration of Independence. Just to be sure, however, the Constitutional Accountability Center compared his remarks to the Constitution's preamble, and didn't find a match.
