How can you tell when MSNBC cable-show host Rachel Maddow utters falsehoods about Herbert Hoover? If she talks about him. This is becoming enough of a pattern for Maddow, as I've described previously at NewsBusters, to border on the pathological. Here she goes again, this time during her show Friday...

I'm tempted to notify Ripley's Believe It Or Not! about this, but they might reject it as too far-fetched. By now you've probably heard the news of blueprints for Marine One, the helicopters used by the president, mysteriously downloaded onto a computer in Iran. The alarming story was first reported...
