Rush Limbaugh has now reacted to the widely-reported “retraction” by Newt Gingrich of his having called Sonia Sotomayor a racist — and he’s going to keep on calling her a racist by himself:

Limbaugh appears not to have read Gingrich’s new Web post with the alleged retraction, but he nevertheless has a lot to say about it based on press reports. “Well I have my own theory about what Newt’s doing, but since I’m not doing it, I’m not gonna comment,” Limbaugh said. “I’m not retracting it. Nobody’s refuted it!”

Limbaugh should probably read Newt’s actual post, in which case he’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that…Newt hasn’t actually recanted it! Gingrich has simply tricked that pesky liberal media into thinking he has, while at the same time repeating his message that Sotomayor makes her legal decisions based on race.
