Linmbaugh sees through the haze recognises the tactics

Watching what has transpired over the past month and as recently as yesterday concerning Newt Gingrich, should clearly demonstrate to anyone observing, just what is actually taking place in this nomination process. Gingrich is the target and the fair haired boy of choice of media and the party elite remains Mitt Romney.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH:  How long's it gonna be, folks, before we start seeing billboards all over, Florida, other upcoming primary states with Rick Perry on 'em saying, "Miss me yet?"  How long's that gonna be?  You remember when they had the George Bush billboards, "Miss me yet?" a couple months into the regime?

Anyway, great to have you here, folks, already Thursday, fastest week in the media.  Goes even faster when one of the days you spend 12 hours, 10 hours, whatever it was, in an airplane, like I did?  Great to have you here, as always, it really is a thrill and a delight.  Telephone number if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882, and the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.
Boy, this Newt stuff.  Did you know any of this Newt stuff, Snerdley?  Let's go through the list.  By the way, you should know, there's a blog in the Washington Post.  It's called The Plum Line and it's written by a guy named Greg Sargent, and I think he used to be at Editor and Publisher back when it was in business.  He was one of the guys there when it went out of business.  Very, very left-leaning.  He's got a post that includes this.  "The New York Times reports today -- based on unclear sourcing -- that Mitt Romney has endorsed a strategy of raising doubts about Newt Gingrich’s 'emotional stability.'" And then there are others that are raising questions here about Newt and his mendacity, his forthrightness.
It is incredible.  Yeah, yeah.  Well, during the CNN debate with John King, he said that he had all kinds of friends that could vouch for the fact that he had never told his wife he wanted an open marriage.  And so yesterday Newt in the campaign said, (paraphrasing) "Nope, nope, there aren't any friends.  It's just my two daughters.  What I said in the debate, that wasn't true."  But that's just the tip of the iceberg.  Here's the front page of Drudge.  Let's give you the headlines.
Newt flashback, 1983:  "Reagan Responsible for National Decay."  This is Newt saying these things.
