The obligatory “Rush rips Newt for calling him irrational” post
Hot Air » Top Picks —
... , it’s probably time to calm down. The boss assured me this morning, though, that people are still interested in the “I hope he fails” debate and the boss is (almost) always right, so here’s the obligatory link to Rush accusing Newt of criticizing him on yesterday’s “Meet the Press” (albeit not by name) because, and I quote, “I am at the top of the mountain of what I do. Everybody underneath it wants what I’ve got… I know that Newt would give his whatever to have what I’ve got.” A taste: I’m surprised by nothing when I’m dealing with people in the media who think they’re in ...
Limbaugh attacks Gingrich
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
He really can't shut up. I love it. "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 ...

... today to be the latest Republican to take him on. And, as to be expected… Rush shot back at Newt. Clearly the Republican party is in a state… of denial or something, and totally and completely lacking any sort of ...
Now It’s Newt Gingrich Versus Rush Limbaugh Versus Newt Gingrich
The Moderate Voice —
... So, today, Limbaugh fired back on his increasingly-listened-to radio show in his inimitable style — a razor-sharp style that in the past had slashes aimed largely but not exclusively at Democrats and which is increasingly being applied to Republicans who hold his name in vain. The Politico gives us this quote from the leader of the GOP’s WHHF (”We Hope He Fails”) faction: ...

Political Animal —
... , without mentioning the right-wing radio host's name, "You've got to want the president to succeed. You're irrational if you don't want the president to succeed. Because if he doesn't succeed the country doesn't succeed.... I don't think anyone should want the president of the United States to fail." Limbaugh naturally assumed the former Speaker was calling him out, so he responded on the air . "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 ...

Jules Crittenden —
... I hope, in a stupid fight that essentially serves the Dems, the media, and Rush. Politico : Newt and Rush, now going at it. There’s a bit of bizarre irony as Rush disparages people in the media who think they’re in politics, but he goes on to explain that his strength comes from his audience, not elections, so I guess that means he agrees with what Newt is saying: Rush is not politics. This thing is starting to bite its own tail. I know people love Rush … or love to hate him … but as long as everyone wants it to be about Rush, that’s what its going to be. About Rush. In ...
