Rush whacks Newt: 'He wishes they were running TV ads against him'

[RamboLiberal]

Rush Limbaugh responded on today's show to Newt Gingrich's shot at him with a broadside at the former speaker.

"I'm frankly getting tired of talking about Newt. I mean, it's a pointless exercise," Limbaugh said of Gingrich's dismissal of him on Meet the Press. "I'm surprised by nothing when I'm dealing with people in the media who think they're in politics.... They are fly-by-night operators, and most of them stand for nothing until they see a poll about what the American people want, and then they go out and try to say one way or another what the American people want while trying to falsely hold onto an ideology at the same time -- and you can't count on them. You can't depend on them. They will sell you out; they will throw you overboard to save themselves, faster than anything. And they'll use you on their way up as often as they can at the same time."

"I mean, next week Newt could come out and profess his total admiration and love for me if it would serve his purposes," he continued. "They're running TV ads against me. Newt Gingrich wishes they were running TV ads against him."

2. We're running ads against Rush?

When did that happen? Is he a candidate for office? Is it 2012?

3. Some groups are using him in ads

9. Yes we are. Several groups are doing that.

Google it.

Portraying him as the leader of the republicans hurts him, even as it feeds his ego. If it leads to his downfall, all the better.

Newt has no credibility either. He can show up on any talk show that will have him, but most people know he is a has-been. Let the two has-beens fight it out. While they are busy, the serious work of saving the economy can continue. We can watch those two over-the-hill idiots duke it out when we need some comic relief from the real work.

4. Rush hopes that Newtie will have to apologize to him.

He hopes that any republican who criticizes him is pressured to apologize. It inflates his ego.

He worries, too, about being thrown overboard. If he is, I wonder if he inflated ego will help him float. I love the image of that gasbag floating, gesturing and yelling in the waves.

5. I called it yesterday

It is only a matter of time before Newt has to kiss that boil on Limbaugh's ass.

The image alone was great but that line was the cherry! :rofl:

15. Your snark-fu is strong.

[alittlelark]

16. Their 'Sumo wrestler costumes' don't need to be padded.

They're already well equipped.

11. Shitbo just stepped - OK fell - on that nub of a dick of his....

...he just cranked on one of the few Republicants who can put a foot up his ass and say, "listen you motherfucking pedophile. You're hanging on a very thin thread, fucko. You'd better watch your fucking fat footfall and your back if you know what I mean, fuckface."

12. Ruh-roh!!! Too inane RW Boomers tossing insults and buzzwords. Grab the POPCORN!!!

Watching the GOP go :nuke: is gonna be fun!

14. Rush is really taking to his new title of Republican Supreme Leader.

Good luck Republican folks trying to put this egotistical, self-important gasbag back in the genie's bottle. He's liking his new notoriety and won't be abdicating the title anytime soon.

17. Oh brother..
