Representative Gingrey Back Peddles

If you don't listen to the Rush Limbaugh show from time-to-time - you should. Sure on one hand it's pure unchecked lies, hate, and liberal-bashing for liberal-bashing sake, but on the other hand it's pretty entertaining. I mean think of the genius - a confident voice talking about the culture that uneducated poor white people care about, turn it into politics - and there you go. You're made rich and loved by the white underclass, and more powerful than most people who lead the political party you support. Case in point.

Recently Rush has been ripping on Republicans in congress for not standing up for conservative values to President Obama, specifically citing GOP party leaders John Boehner and Mitch McConnell which sparked Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) to fire back at the shock joke jock -

“I think that our leadership, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, are taking the right approach,” Gingrey said.

“I mean, it’s easy if you’re Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks. You don’t have to try to do what’s best for your people and your party.You know you’re just on these talk shows and you’re living well and plus you stir up a bit of controversy and gin the base and that sort of thing. But when it comes to true leadership, not that these people couldn’t be or wouldn’t be good leaders, they’re not in that position of John Boehner or Mitch McConnell,”

And then after receiving a spew of calls and E-mail from angry conservatives, Phil back peddles! And oh does he. I guess Rush is right, Repubs in congress are pussies!


UPDATE: From watching a couple of youtube videos, I can tell youRep Alan Grayson (D-Fl.) is not a pussy. How is this dude repping Orlando? Anyway, from DownWithTyranny Blog. His recent comments on Rush -

"Rush Limbaugh is a has-been hypocrite loser, who craves attention. His right-wing lunacy sounds like Mikhail Gorbachev, extolling the virtues of communism. Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict. If America ever did 1% of what he wanted us to do, then we'd all need pain killers."

PWNED.
