1. Something is happening before our eyes again
Obama and the dems are working to save the US economy. The GOP is groveling at the feet of a racist blowhard. I hope they keep this up.

5. Phil dared to criticize Limbaugh yesterday .. he got his marching orders
from the GOP to apologize. God forbid, Limbaugh should attack Gingrey on the air. These guys are just so chickenshit.

4. Gingrey apologizes for Limbaugh criticism
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/28/gingrey-apologizes-for-limbaugh-criticism/

Republican Rep. Phil Gingrey of Georgia apologized Wednesday for criticizing conservative hosts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hanity, assuring his supporters that "I am one of you."

"I regret and apologize for the fact that my comments have offended and upset my fellow conservatives—that was not my intent," Gingrey said in a statement. "I am also sorry to see that my comments in defense of our Republican Leadership read much harsher than they actually were intended, but I recognize it is my responsibility to clarify my own comments."

The mea culpa comes one day after Gingrey appeared to take issue with Limbaugh's recent criticism of congressional Republicans. The conservative radio host said GOP leaders weren't adequately challenging President Obama on his proposed stimulus package.

"I mean, it’s easy if you’re Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks," Gingrey told the Politico. "You don’t have to try to do what’s best for your people and your party."

The comments, published in a Politico story Tuesday afternoon, immediately prompted a flood of calls from aggrieved conservatives to Gingrey's congressional office, prompting the Georgia Republican to issue a clarification reasserting his conservative bona fides.

10. Ironic that Rusty Limbow will be the downfall of the modern rethug party
that he helped to create.

I'm loving every minute of it as his rotundness slides down to the muck - and brings the rest of them with him.

Do you think he "gets it" now??
