... U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey <R - Loonybin> spent today apologizing to the loudest voices of the Republican right — to radio talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, and to former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich.

Gingrey’s crime? He declared that they earned a very good living by stirring up dust among conservatives, without having to struggle with the consequences ....

“I clearly ended up putting my foot in my mouth on some of those comments, and I just wanted to tell you, Rush — and all our conservative giants, who help us so much to maintain our base and grow it to get back this majority — that I regret those stupid comments.”

4. Typical Republican behavior.

They claim to be the party that worships God. They are really the party that worships Limballs and Hannity. We need to crush them. To hell with bipartisanship. They all just showed how bipartisan they are when not one of them voted for the stimulus package.
