Gingrey on that Limbaugh issue again: The AJC's Political Insider has a quote out from U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey's appearance on C-SPAN's Washington Journal Thursday where the topic sort of comes up again. The quote Gingrey as follows: "We have leaders," says Gingrey, naming Georgia colleague Tom Price of Roswell and others. "These talk show hosts are not Republican leaders … but they are strong voices of conservatism."
