Note To Republican Office Holders...Don't Take On Rush

Conservatives are pretty pissed right now so it's probably not the time for elected Republicans to talk shit about the most high profile conservative around. Just ask Georgia Congressman Phil Gingrey.

Yesterday Gingrey said Rush wasn't all of that. Today, Gingrey called into Limbaugh to apologize.

"I regret and apologize for the fact that my comments have offended and upset my fellow conservatives - that was not my intent."

..."Everyday, millions and millions of Americans - myself included - turn on their radios and televisions to listen to what [Limbaugh and other conservative radio hosts] have to say, and we are inspired by their words and by their determination," said Gingrey.

"At the end of the day, every member of the conservative movement, from our political commentators and thinkers to our elected officials, share an important and common purpose in advancing the cause of liberty, reigning in a bloated federal government and defending our traditional family values."

Naturally, Rush was gracious in accepting Gingrey's apology.

Right now on Rush...noted conservative and Jew (but mostly Jew) Eric Cantor is on talking 'stimulus'.

*Just to be clear, those Gingrey quotes are from a written statement his office released but he was on with Limbaugh earlier today and basically covered the same ground.
