Yep, and with pompous ridicule too.
Rush led the charge and made it acceptable to attack Newt's bonifides. Seems Rush has a dislike for Gingrich.
Rush and Newt aren’t altogether at odds.
Rush has played golf with both Newt and Callista.
Rush had dinners with Newt and Marianne (wife #2).
He thought Newt a hero when he did those special orders on the House floor backing Reagan.
My guess...just a guess...Rush will always hold somewhat of a grude against Newt for saying the era of Reagan is over.
It doesn’t really matter to Rush what Newt meant by that...Rush was furious that the words were uttered and that by a Reagan guy, Newt Gingrich.
Michael Reagan is campaigning for Newt, but Rush is either not for Newt or stealthily for Santorum.
So Reagan’s own son is more understanding of it than Rush...
Rush literally savaged both Newt and Rick Perry for criticizing Romney at Bain Capital. Totally went bananas over their “attack on Captitalism”.
Ridiculous.
It is more than obvious he has the PROUD GOP establishment 'hate' for Newt. The 'wealthier' Rush has gotten the further to the left he keeps moving. No conservative worth their salt would ever use the phrase 'playing the devil's advocate'. Anyway Rush has already made his intentions known, if his bottom line gets messed with he will move elsewhere. Rush loves to point to the character of the founding fathers and what they were willing to sacrifice to form this nation.... yet Rush has never been willing to walk in Newt's shoes... Rush has more in common with the rich 1% Romney/Santorum types anyway.
