Limbaugh Calls Gingrich A ‘Fly-By-Night Operator’ Who ‘You Can’t Depend On’ And ‘Will Sell You Out’

This past Sunday on Meet the Press, former House Majority Leader Newt Gingrich took a shot at Rush Limbaugh, saying that anyone who doesn’t want President Obama to succeed is “irrational.” Today, Limbaugh responded on his radio show.

“You know, I’m frankly getting tired of talking about Newt,” Limbaugh began. “I mean, it’s a pointless exercise.” He then ripped Gingrich for being a typical “fly-by-night,” finger-in-the-wind politician who can’t be trusted:

"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 you can’t count on them. You can’t depend on them. They will sell you out; they will throw you overboard to save themselves, faster than anything. And they’ll use you on their way up as often as they can at the same time."

Limbaugh claimed that Gingrich is simply jealous of his influence. “I know that Newt would give his whatever to have what I’ve got,” he said. “So would any of these other critics of mine. … Newt Gingrich wishes they were running TV ads against him. But they’re running TV ads against me. So I love it. I’m up for it.” Listen here: ... http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/09/limbaugh-gingrich-fight/

[depakid]

10. Gingrich may be a jerk and an amoral man

but he's not entirely without an intellect.

The same cannot be said of Limbaugh.

[BlooInBloo]

11. Yup.

[Canuckistanian]

6. I think this deserves Phase III status

The Limbaugh flameout is officially underway......

[DearAbby]

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[Ikonoklast]

34. And an infinite amount of time.

The heat death of the universe will occur before Gingrich apologizes for anything.

[Deja Q]

8. and? We figured that out before his 2nd divorce.

[Xipe Totec]

9. Rush should run for president in 2010

I'd love to see Rush put his money where his blubber is.

What office has Rush ever been elected to?

Epic FAIL!

:rofl:
























Yes, I know there are no presidential elections in 2010.





But rush doesn't, so Shhh!

[Rosco T.]

[BrklynLiberal]

18. Absolutely perfect description.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


We can just stand back and let them have at each other....

[Number23]

41. Ha!

Don't forget "old" too! :)

[DonCoquixote]

19. Watch out

Newt would love to be seen as a moderate, and Rush can be helping him do that. I would compare this to the WWE, but that would be an insult to Vince Macmahon!

[eShirl]

20. oh goody

:popcorn:

[UTUSN]

22. Heck, *I'LL* kick this K&R big #5!1 n/t

Much smaller of course, but you get the picture. :)

[Mr. Sparkle]

45. when i change my avatar, i think I'm going to go with him on the washing powder box.

[Number23]

[Skittles]

25. one whore calling out another

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

26. and we win.

[Adsos Letter]

27. So...now they're trying some kind of warped "good-cop/bad-cop" routine?

:eyes:

[FSogol]

28. Good gawd, I actually agree.

Broken clocks, I guess.

[Kablooie]

29. Whee! Rush is trying to push his way to the top of the GOP.

[opihimoimoi]

30. I still think this is a set up to make Newt more palable to the moderates

[Hekate]

40. Aaack! I hope not!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

31. Woohoo! God, but it's a hella lot of fun watching them go after

each other! :rofl:

[ddeclue]

32. Wait wait... let me microwave some popcorn before the show starts!

:popcorn:

:rofl:

[Joe Fields]

33. So, when will Newt be apologizing to that fuckface?

[Maru Kitteh]

35. I love the smell of snake-balm in the mourning.

There are not enough words for the funny.

[camera obscura]

36. Wow. I actually agree with Rush on something.

Newt is obviously positioning himself as a kinder, gentler wingnut. Of course, Rush's ego won't let him play along, even though it would be better for the party to shiv the Dems with a smile instead of spitting vitriol.

Silly Republicans.

[cherish44]

37. I can't stand either of them

But Newt is politician looking to make a comeback so he has to use a certain amount of intellect...Rush is just a professional shit stirrer who is paid to be as obnoxious as possible because it gets him ratings and publicity.

[orleans]

38. and he's right. n/t

[Hekate]

39. Woohoo! I brought more butter and salt! Pass the popcorn!

:rofl: :popcorn:

Hekate

[Laelth]

43. OMG. Newt is pure evil, very smart, very conservative, and very loyal.

It's music to my hears to hear the Limp one attack him. Seems the Republican circular firing squad is now operating seamlessly and in full force.

:dem:
