Limbaugh to Newt: "Well then what did you apologize to him about?"

Newt to Limbaugh: Hey, you know all that trouble I got myself in for calling the Paul Ryan's budget "right-wing engineering"? Funny thing is I wasn't even referring to Paul Ryan!

Was he always this inconsistent in what he said? If so, how did he manage to become Speaker, when he would have been pissing off everyone on his own side half the time? Is there just greater scrutiny of what politicians say now, compared to the 90s (eg easily available audio clips and transcripts on the internet)? Or is he just losing his ability to keep his story straight in his own mind?

:rofl:

This is almost painful to watch...ALMOST. The dogma, rhetoric and bullshit of the rushpublicans have become so deep that no one dares to go against the party line. If you do (and get the wrath of the all mighty Rushbo), you must then contort yourself into all sorts of linguistic gynmnastics to appologize and "make good". Gnewt thought he could finesse he way back into Rushbo's good graces but for a rare time in his life no one is buying his bullshit. That must be the real shocker...that the "brain" with all the oratory skills wasn't able to tap dance his way out of what he really said.

This so much reminds me of the "trials" in the old Soviet Union...where Gnewt has to show his "party purity" by recanting anything and everything and hope the all mighty Rushbo cuts him some slack. Pretty pathetic to see how regressive and repressive today's GOTB is...but if there was anyone who deserved the pounding he's getting, it's the Gnewtmeister...
