SUMMARY: Purporting to "give you some background on this quickly," Fox News' Megyn Kelly
said of Rush Limbaugh's comments characterizing service members who advocate
U.S. withdrawal from Iraq as "phony soldiers": "Rush originally used this term
'phony soldiers' when he was talking about a guy named Jesse MacBeth." In fact,
when Limbaugh first used the term on the September 26 show, he had not mentioned
MacBeth, and did not mention MacBeth until 1 minute and 50 seconds after he used
the phrase "phony soldiers."
