Word: Rush’s new bitch
February 2, 2009 at 11:53 am by Thomas Wheatley in Word/FoundRush disses Obama. Obama disses Rush. Gingrey disses Rush. Gingrey begs Rush for forgiveness.
Rep. Phil Gingrey
“I would be honored if the drive-by media headlined me all day long: ‘Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.’ Somebody’s gotta say it.”
— Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on his Jan. 16 show
“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.”
— Pres. Barack Obama to GOP leaders on Jan. 23
“It’s easy if you’re Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh … to stand back and throw bricks. You don’t have to try to do what’s best for your people and your party.”
— U.S Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Marietta, as quoted in a Jan. 27 Politico.com article about criticism of Obama’s economic stimulus plan.
“I clearly ended up putting my foot in my mouth … and I just wanted to tell you, Rush, that I regret those stupid comments.”
