MSNBC’s Hall: Did Rep. Gingrey Kiss Rush’s Ring?
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Or might it have been someplace slightly lower on the anatomy? . . .

Yesterday, Georgia Republican congressman Phil Gingrey took a shot at Rush Limbaugh. Today, Gingrey called Rush on the air to apologize, which in turn led MSNBC’s Tamron Hall to wonder whether Gingrey was engaging in some Rush ring-kissing. Hall posed her question [during MSNBC's 4 PM hour] to A. B. Stoddard. “Hill” editor Stoddard left no doubt that’s exactly what Gingrey was up to, and the pair shared some yucks at the representative's expense.

MSNBC has been doing a Rush segment every hour sometimes 2 all day. They are no fans, and completely take Rush out of context. Its sickening actually. Hardball has Dick Armey on right now talking about it.

This coming from a news site that kisses Obama's ass.

I heard him eating crow on Sean Hannity’s show. Personally, I think it takes a lot of guts to simply say “it was a stupid thing to say; I shouldn’t have said it; I’m sorry;” instead of trying to wiggle out of it.

This from a woman named Tamron? Well, I guess it’s better than Latrina.

Not only did Gingrey not have to kiss Rush’s ring, he didn’t even get a tingle up his leg. The 0media is on full attack mode, panicked by poor little Rush and his radio program. These kooks don’t know what to do now that Bush is out of the White House. I bet Rush’s listener numbers go way up with all this free advertisement.

Chrissy has dedicated almost his entire show to Rush today. Rush should respond.

I heard it. Gingrey did apologize but I took it more as an apology to everyone--not necessarily just Rush. Gingrey was sorry he said the things he did.

I've seen this guy on CSPAN and he's solid. He's our ally and he's forgiven for whatever he said.

The reason for the media attack on Ruch is that he is THE ONLY OPPONENT of Obama.

We can’t rely on Republican WIMPS in congress to do anything.

It is pitiful that the only opposition we have to democrap socialism is a radio star.

‘We can’t rely on Republican WIMPS in congress to do anything”

They just held firm on the stimulus bill, and voted HELL NO.

No doubt, Rush helped ‘inspire’ some of them to do the right thing.

The honeymoon is unravelling. My congresscritter (Lynn Jenkins) is brand new at this, but doing everything right so far. Email them, with congrats for sticking together...and introduce your Senators to Phil E. Buster.

The black chick in the picture looks ok but the white chick looks like something that the cat dragged in.
