Walkback in 3 ... 2 ...

You might remember the story of Phil Gingrey and Rush Limbaugh. Basically, Gingrey said that congressional Republicans shouldn't be taking marching orders from Limbaugh because he can just sit in his studio and talk, and not have to deal with real-life issues that Republicans in Congress have to face. He was right, but you don't mess with Rush Limbaugh. His office got flooded with calls, and so he had to call in to Limbaugh's show and kiss his ... um ... ring. (Stephen Colbert has a great run-down).

Next! Mark Sanford (South Carolina's Republican governor) says that "Anybody who wants [Obama] to fail is an idiot". Now, he didn't mention Rush specifically, but it's pretty clear that the question was in reference to Limbaugh saying "I hope Obama fails."

So how long before he calls in to Rush's show? I'm going to put the over/under at ten days. Any takers?
