Some GOP Senators and party officials were interviewed and are rejecting the Limbaugh-Gingrich allegations and trying to distance the party from their influence.

This is exactly the type of stuff that must overjoy the Democrats.

People like Limbaugh and Gingrich, who make their money thru paid TV appearances, are doing more damage to the Republican and conservative causes than any of the Democrats are doing...well, I might mention Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi as balancing out the other guys, but they're both staying off the airwaves a little more than Limbaugh and Gingrich.
