Libertarian-leaning former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson seemed nervous through much of Thursday's debate, but he pulled himself together for one of evening's more memorable lines.

"My next-door neighbor's two dogs have created more shovel-ready jobs than this current administration," Johnson joked. The Republican audience laughed and clapped heartily as did some of the GOP contenders on stage with Johnson.

Unfortunately for Johnson people are saying that was Rush Limbaugh's line on his radio show.

That's too bad. Maybe Rush Limbaugh will talk about it.

Well then I'm guessing that most of the audience from Florida and other candidates don't listen to Limbaugh's show. lol.

Rush Limbaugh On Gary Johnson Joke: 'Guess I've Become Show Prep For The GOP Debates'

So what does Limbaugh think of the similarity?

"I guess I've become show prep for the GOP debates now, too," Limbaugh told The Huffington Post in an email. Limbaugh said he thought he used the line yesterday, "but the days run together, so I'm not really sure."
