Looks like the folks at Wikipedia were prepared for the worst when it came to Rush Limbaugh. Actually they were a little too well prepared.
Shortly after the news broke that the conservative political radio talk show host was hospitalized, Wikipedia updated his page – and pronounced him dead.
Folks (like us) who happened to take a look at Limbaugh’s biography, saw this:
Rush Hudson Limbaugh III (pronounced /ˈlɪmbɔː/;born January 12, 1951, died December 30, 2009) is an American radio host and conservative political commentator. He is the host of The Rush Limbaugh Show, the highest-rated talk-radio program in the United States. It airs throughout the U.S. on Premiere Radio Networks.
That was posted shortly after midnight, EST.
Rush, of course, was very much alive and about 15 minutes later Wikipedia pronounced him so, altering their bio by removing the information that he had died.
Limbaugh remains hospitalized Thurday.
Wishful thinking on their part. But some lib wanted to be the “first” to call it.......................
General Franco is doing fine though.
Looking forward to his first 2010 broadcast. How much of the “stack of stuff” will deal with stories on his hospitalization?
Wikipedia is rife with pranks.

Where is any reference to his being dead?
And Hitler is alive and well in Argentina.
Um, “died December 30...”
Are you series?

As Mark Twain said: “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
Check under history. It was corrected by another user.
See I can make up a story too..I would say more but afraid I would get in trouble..

Looks like he/she has a record of 'disruptive editing'
is it any coincidence Pelosi and Obama are also vacationing in Hawaii
Maybe Axelrod put the call-in, did our beloved MSM do the same?
Kidding. Though they spout, i’m sure they’re praying fervently to Obama not to take their major talking point default away.
Then again, Obama could raise him up as a gesture of bi-partisanship.
Lord, forgive me.
The asscheeses at the hate site DU have been posting death wishes and horrible things about Rush. I would think that they will all burn in hell. How can that pure hate site be shut down? We need to do it.
It’s not Wikipedia its one of their users pulling a prank.
Twitter posters revealed that evil is incarnate on this world.
The left was dancing and celebrating in hopes that Rush would die last night.
So much for reading the whole excerpt!
