No Trapped, you are not wrong - you nailed by sentiments on this exactly. Newt made some typically brilliant Newt points on this, and yes, had he stopped before the “glad Rush apologized” line, it would have been another Newt home rum.

In our headline driven world, he unfortunately gave the world the impression he was throwing Rush under the bus. Obviously that’s not the case, but look at all the Freepers who think he did.

Thus, my point is validated. Sadly.

Rush's apology is admission to guilt or wrong doing. That opens Rush up for some massive Law suits under Slander.

This has become a national movement against Rush. Newt's comments show that Newt is looking at this from that perspective, since he is deeply experienced in Legal matters. The “apology” was made from a legal perspective only, to quell any further outrage. But in the long run, it opens up the door for a long drawn-out and expensive legal case.

1. Heard Rush's original comments on my way out the door on Friday.

2. The sponsors' Saturday moves were news to me -- it sounds like a coordinated 'RatRoots strike by Axelrod, Emanuel et al. on Obozo's behalf, an Astroturf campaign.

3. I didn't know Rush had apologized until I heard Newt on ABC's This Week when Clintonopoulos brought the subject up. (Didn't see MTP or Mace the Nation.)

4. It sure sounded to me -- not having all the background going in, not having heard about Rush's apology and sponsor moves until that moment -- like Newt putting Rush under the bus. I gathered from the questions that Santorum had already abandoned Rush, and now Newt was taking a turn at the invitation of the Pres_ent's henchman, Clintonopoulos.

I agree with you and trappedincanuckistan that this is all a dark Democrat victory, in which precious time is chewed up before Super Tuesday,and with PSYCHO-FREEP that this is the beginning of a big, three-ring-circus, diversionary proxy war (using young female 'Rat-activist trollopes) against Rush Limbaugh, to damage, delegitimize, and (they hope) damage him financially, and divert attention from Afghanistan, from Obozo, from the economy, and from what Joe Arpaio is saying about Obozo's fundamental ineligibility for the office.
