I heartily agree with you....and he deserved it.
I took him apart (gently) on yesterday's thread....I also sent him a flaming email....and it was probably one of many, many thousands he received.
As a listener for 22 years, I usually know where Rush is coming from even when he's at his most obtuse or satirical......and I know where he was trying to go yesterday. But, for some reason, it just came out all wrong with jumbled rants, emotional outbursts, and some un-thought-out conclusions.
Yes, he did Newt immeasurable harm yesterday (I am NOT a Gingrich supporter) and he touched negatively on Romney to a lesser extent.
This afternoon, Rush is much more calm. And yes, he did some walking back on both Romney and Newt today, in case you're wondering.
In my humble opinion, I think Rush is as horribly frustrated as most of us are.....we just are not that passionate about ANY of the candidates in the GOP primary field. I think he feels the same as other concerned conservatives.....and the frustration just came spilling out of him yesterday in bubbling torrents.

I keep a close watch on this mouth of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep my ears out for the best of lines
And now I pine
I crossed the line
LMAO!!!!!!!
NO! And I can't stand that show. Anthony goes everywhere, including US cities, and goes to the best restaurants and famous eateries and fun things to see too. He writes all his own stuff and he's very entertaining.
Elitest snot?
Are you sure we’re talking about the same person? He’s just the opposite that I’ve seen.
Same thing different name?
GIT'R DONE!
Not this defender. For me, it reinforces one of the few reasons to support Newt, with all his flaws -- have you EVER heard Romney admit to being wrong? (Or Rush, for that matter!!!?). Romney is still BRAGGING about his RomneyCare and doing his damndest to spin it as "conservative," though it is the very antithesis of limited government conservatism.
At least Gingrich has the humility and grace to admit his goofs. Not "flip-flops," as in saying one thing one week and blithely saying the opposite the next while pretending the former stance never existed, ala Romney, but "I was in error before, and I've seen the light."
At this point, it's pretty obvious (and I'm in company with Thomas Sowell here) that Gingrich is our best bet in terms of primary candidates. He's not perfect, but he's a whole helluva lot closer to it than Romney. Romney is a proven and committed statist, the ENEMY of liberty. For Rush not to START SAYING, as Sowell HAS, that between Gingrich and Romney it's NO CONTEST regardless of Newt's flaws and goofs, is perplexing and disappointing.
If anybody should be redfaced at Newt's admission of crossing the line, it should be his attackers.
The truth is that the Democrats are already planning their attack on Mitt, as a corporatist. They have started what they call, Democracy Schools, where they inform their minions about their individual rights that are being crushed by the corporative agenda. The local Democracy school is being sponsored by our Democrat Congressman, Rick Larsen. The classes are being conducted by an Agenda 21 group, that calls themselves, Sustainable Communities. There goal is to continue the OWS groups and direct their energy against Mitt Romney.
Never mind that Sustainable Communities is in the business and suppressing individual rights in favor of communal rights, that they are a progressive Agenda 21 group that doesn’t believe that people really own their own property.
