Yeah, Newt should have stayed out of it or made it a free political speech issue—now he has thrown Rush under the bus and there are a LOT of Dittoheads in Super Tuesday states.

Bad move Newt.

He didnt throw Rush under a bus!

Rush had already apologized, and Newt said that was the right thing for him to do.

He didnt tell Rush his comments were “absurd” in some weak attempt to try to distance himself from him like that other guy running did.

In each instance Newt was asked about this, he correctly directed to issue back to Obama and the media, while Santorum slap Rush early and then ran off.

That is just not true. Gingrich did not throw Rush under the bus. If you bothered to listen to him ths morning on several of the SMTS, he was clear. He told David Gregory if he wanted to make the discussion about apologies, lets talk about Obamas apology to Afghanistan, and the damage done to our troops. My heavens, Obama and the msm is keeping the American dialogue directed at the republicans, Newt is always, always attempting to redirect it back to the failed Obama presidency. He wants to move on to higher issues and idiots still want to talk about limbaugh and birth control.
