Prodigal Republican Begs Rush Limbaugh for Forgiveness

Posted by Ryan Powers, Think Progress at 1:31 PM on January 28, 2009.

Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., was forced to issue an apology after daring to criticize Limbaugh.



Yesterday, Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., the chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, complained to Politico about how Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talkers are able to "stand back and throw bricks" instead of offering "real leadership" in the middle of high-profile public policy battles. Gingrey’s brave remarks got him in hot water.

This morning -- because of what he called "high volume of phone calls and correspondence" in response to his comments -- Gingrey issued a retraction, declaring his loyalty to hate radio. "I see eye-to-eye with Rush Limbaugh," he said, later adding that he, Sean Hannity, and Newt Gingrich were "the voices of the conservative movement’s conscience."

But Gingrey’s mea culpa was not yet complete. Apparently concluding that his criticism of Limbaugh was so off-base that it merited a personal, on-air apology to Limbaugh, Gingrey made a rare guest appearance on Limbaugh’s radio show this afternoon. Addressing the hate radio host as a “conservative giant,” Gingrey apologized for what he termed his "foot-in-mouth disease":



Gingrey concluded by saying, "The best possible message for this country would be for every single republican to vote against (the economy recover package)."

And yes, some of his constituents are THAT bug-eyed crazy and think Limpballs is GOD. Personally, I wish Gingrey would crawl up Rush's ass and STAY THERE. :grr:

Though Jabba the Hut wasn't a junkie pedophile, was he?
