Well this is progress......Rush finally admits that the right has become radical.

Morning Score: Gingrich still getting pounded

By POLITICO STAFF | 5/17/11 5:56 AM EDT

From today's edition:

THE RIGHT SLAMS NEWT – ON THE AIRWAVES – The conservative opinion elite is just all-out unloading on former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for criticizing Paul Ryan’s budget plan, with thought leaders from Rush Limbaugh to Rich Lowry joining in the pile-on. Limbaugh used his show to accuse Gingrich of cynically seeking out a “niche to occupy” in the 2012 field.” RUSH: “It's amazing how many people seek out niches … So the niche here is, ‘Everybody but me is radical. Republicans are radical here with their social engineering. Democrats are radical. We need somebody more reasonable, like me.’ That's the niche that Newt's trying to find here … I know what he's trying to do with that, but this is the politics of it right now. There's a groundswell here for a massive, massive reduction in the size of government.” bit.ly

AND – IN PRINT: National Review editor Rich Lowry dedicates his column today to ridiculing Gingrich, arguing that the Georgian turns every debate into “a grand sociological clash between different regions of the country.” RICH: “He can’t help himself. Gingrich prefers extravagant lambasting when a mere distancing would do, and the over-arching theoretical construct to a mundane pander.
