It would appear that Rush Limbaugh's "phony soldiers" flap has largely run its course. When the National Republican Congressional Committee tries to raise money off an incident in which a right-wing blowhard blasted U.S. troops who dare to disagree with him about Iraq, it's safe to assume Limbaugh isn't going to lose his audience over this.

But before the controversy fades, Jonah Goldberg, in a New York Post piece attacking Media Matters, offers one last defense for Limbaugh.

The press didn't care much about the Limbaugh "phony soldiers" story in which Limbaugh was referring to one anti-war activist who pretended to be a military veteran. Journalists for the most part saw it for what it was: a phony story.

Greg Sargent explains just how wrong Goldberg is.
