Dear Robert,
I'm posting in my official capacity as third-string moderator.
You seem to have started a bandwagon of Tom-bashing, and it's gotten out of hand. Tom was snookered by a false claim coming from Limbaugh, but he didn't do it with malice aforethought. He doesn't deserve the criticism he's getting, like sarcastic pointing at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
But the real problem is that this is the Space board, and the thread has drifted completely offtopic into politics. Any further posts on the subject of Rush Limbaugh and his veracity belong over on Current Events.
Do I make myself clear?
