UPDATE BELOW (H/T goes to MemeOrandum):
Question Of The Day: How Long Before We Should Expect An Apology From Newt To The Draft-Dodging Right Wing Talk Radio Shock Jock?
That’s right, first — Michael Steele, the new “Hip-Hop” RNC Chairman has the nerve to bash the [draft dodger] “New Face Of The G.O.P.“, Rush Limbaugh. As we learned, it was only a matter of a few hours later when the “scary-looking rifle grabber” went on the record again to grovel at the draft-dodger’s feet, apologizing for speaking his mind against Limbaugh. Lesson learned, correct? The Dittoheads and their Master are untouchable, got it? Not so fast. Apparently Newt Gingrich didn’t get “the memo”.
From AOL’s Political Machine:
“On Meet the Press Sunday, former House Speaker and Republican elder statesman Newt Gingrich repudiated Rush Limbaugh’s “message of hope” that Barack Obama fails. …”
Note to Mr. Gingrich: Just go ahead and get your apology out of the way NOW. The longer the passage of time, the more you shall have to grovel at the feet of your New Face Of The G.O.P., and the more humiliating it will be for you. Just think, Sir — MILLIONS of members of the “Dittohead Army” would love nothing more than to slash your tires, or perhaps something much more grisly. Indeed, your very life might be in grave danger, Mr. Former House Speaker. What were you thinking?
GOP nominee for 2012 — Newt? Steele? Mitt “I fit the profile of a serial killer PERFECTLY” Romney? Señor Juan Sidney McCain from Arizona the tiny nation of Panama? Let’s just say, “DOUBTFUL”…
Sing along with me, my Republican friends, and let’s get it over with — Rush Limbaugh for president!!!
UPDATE:
Folks — I type about eighty words per minute and even before I could push the “Publish” button, The Politico breaks the following story:
Rush whacks Newt: ‘He wishes they were running TV ads against him’
Rush Limbaugh responded to Newt Gingrich’s shot at him with a broadside at the former speaker on today’s show.
“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.”
Larger than the Grand Old Party and obviously, larger than life, folks. I’m thinking Limbaugh-Palin is clearly in the works for 012…

Other blogger reax — from the Right (of course): Doug Mataconis from Below The Beltway is rooting for Newt in this one; Allahpundit of Hot Air says enough is enough and Dan Riehl of Riehl World View says it’s time to STEP UP YOURSELF if you want to lead the G.O.P.

Newt apologize to Rush; I would say from now to never, a cold day in hell, only if it helped him get elected president. The battle has been joined. Mouth vs Mouth.
I’m surprised that Rush didn’t also take on Snowe or maybe that’s for tomorrow. She was pretty blunt in her assesment of why she was the only, I repeat, the only Repubican elected in all of New England in Nov of 08. I would vote for that Lady for President.

Interesting how good Obama and his cronies are at spinning the liberals around like little tops. He has everyone worried about what Rush will say or do next and nobody is watching as he violates the foundations of our country and its principles, all while failing miserably to have a positive impact on the economy.
Of course, what better way to force his agenda of Socialism than by keeping the economy down while demonizing (and he’s real good at ‘demonizing’) those who would fight against Socialism.
He’s playing the bloggers and the MSM like a harp, you gotta give him that, they don’t even see what’s happening.
