A cherry on top of what can be charitably called the worst month of Judd Gregg's senate career:New Hampshire Republican Judd Gregg , however, disputed the notion that GOP lawmakers want Obama's fiscal policy to fail. He suggested Reid's comments were prompted by a flap within the Republican Party over statements made by conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

"Most of us want to see the president succeed because this country's in such dire straits, that unless this administration's successful, we're not going to get out of it," said Gregg, who was Obama's first pick to head the Commerce Department but withdrew from consideration.

But who will tell him?

(Of course, Gregg's self-serving quote is preposterous, as is shown by his forceful opposition so far to the Administration's economic policy. But the line in the sand to RNC Virtual Chair Limbaugh remains.)
