Repub Phil Gingrey grovels and apologizes to Rush Limbaugh and other RW talk radio hosts
Edited on Fri Jan-30-09 04:39 PM by brentspeak
It doesn't get more pathetic than this:


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28935576/?GT1=43001

"Obama was trying to marginalize me," Limbaugh said. "His hope was that the House and Senate Republicans would join him in denouncing me. Didn't work."

When Rep. Phil Gingrey, a Georgia Republican, tried to praise his House leadership this week by saying it's easy for talk-show hosts to stand back and throw bricks, the headline on the Politico Web site read: "House GOP member to Rush: Back off." Gingrey was so bothered by the phone calls of complaints that he visited four conservative talk-show hosts, including Limbaugh, the next day to apologize.

Limbaugh, he said, was a conservative giant and one of the "voices of the conservative movement's conscience."

2. Imagine - Giving four BJ's in one day and he still didn't get enough.
Gingrey, you're some man.

3. Isn't that stating the obvious?
Limbaugh is the GOPs conscience. No shit. I hope he keeps talking. He's done a great job so far.
