Rush Limbaugh: Newt Gingrich 'Sounds Like Elizabeth Warren'

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh went nuclear on Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on Tuesday, laying into him for his attacks on former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's business career.

"He sounds like Elizabeth Warren," said Limbaugh, who devoted much of his show Tuesday to lambasting Gingrich, the former House Speaker.

Limbaugh played clips of Gingrich's remarks from earlier in the day, and said that the former House Speaker sounded like President Obama when he criticized Bain Capital, Romney's former company, for profiting too

"When you have to play Obama to translate what Newt just said, basically, 'Romney, it's okay they made that much, maybe it's okay they made that much, but at that point nobody needs to make that much, $180 million. No, you can leave some of that in there and not fire a bunch of people and what have you.' It's none of his business. It's none of the government's business," Limbaugh said.

"You could have read this in an Occupy Wall Street flyer," he thundered. "The left could not improve on this."

that may have cost gingrich a lot of votes and given romney a significant amount but the analysts probably never factored it - as usual.
