Romney's stupid analogy gave Rush the perfect distraction he needed to get out of the hole today that he dug himself into yesterday.
Gotta hand it to the Mahatma....he did it smoothly and seamlessly.
Well, almost. He walked back a little on both Newt and Mitt today...but I haven't forgotten his emotional outbursts yesterday....and he DOES owe Newt an apology. Rush did immeasurable harm to the Gingrich campaign yesterday...and the harm was not based on well-thought-out logic.
Yesterday was NOT one of Rush's better days.
(Disclaimer: I am not a Newt supporter....I'm a Rush supporter and have listened to him consistently for 22 years. But I'm also an equal-opportunity critiquer.)

Leni, I think you were on that thread yesterday. I have to reiterate. People need to research ROMNEY, not Bain Capital. romney ran a whole separate operation with money he raised himself, apart fom Bain, and targeted small companies that were floundering when the recession hit.
He recruited 7 other raiders. They made large offers to companies and when the offers were accepted over lower bidders and anyone else was out of the picture, they went in and told the company they didn’t rate the higher offer, lowered it to pennies on the dollar, forced these companies to borrow beyond their capacity, and into bankruptcy.
romney cleared a hundred million dollars on these deals.
