One thing to note about the latest spat between Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh is that I’ll bet you Newt doesn’t apologize. His conservative credentials aren’t really in doubt, and I think he’s shrewd enough to see how absurd the apologies other conservative politicians have offered make them look. Consequently, Newt — whose ideas are every bit as stupid as Rush’s — will come out of this possessing an entirely undeserved veneer of reasonableness.
