CALIFORNIA mattress store chain SLEEP TRAIN has announced via Twitter that it has pulled its ads from RUSH LIMBAUGH's syndicated PREMIERE NETWORKS show after the host referred to a college student testifying about contraceptive availability as a "slut," then demanded that women on the pill provide sex videos since the government mandates insurance pays for the pill -- comments LIMBAUGH asserted were made as a form of absurd humor.

This is the kind of person who wants taxpayers to pay for their BIRTH CONTROL...

“I have no clue what I’m going to do,” said Rhetta Pope, 22, of Austin. A stay-at-home mother of two, she lives off disability payments of less than $1,500 a month.

BOO FREAKIN WOO...

She is 22 yrs old and ‘disabled’ BUT she has TWO KIDS already...NO MENTION of a father aka sperm donor!

They would be fools to drop ads on Rush!

I would immediately drop them on every computer that I have including our businesses! More fish in the sea nowadays than Carbonite!

[ “I have no clue what I’m going to do,” said Rhetta Pope, 22, of Austin. A stay-at-home mother of two, she lives off disability payments of less than $1,500 a month.

Pope said after paying basic living expenses, she has so little left she scrimps on electricity by keeping the lights off and takes her laundry to an aunt’s house. She can’t imagine how she would pay for birth control.

“I guess I’m going to have to stop using it because I don’t have the money,” Pope said. “I’m pretty shook up. I really am.” ]

Duh, maybe STOP having sex, you have to make sacrifices by taking responsibility for your life disabled or otherwise.

This is another reason why I think Prostitution should be legalized, because morons like this could actually provide a service to others, they could support themselves, and the brothels could write off Birth Control pills and condoms as a “business expense”. (Half joking on the last point).

I can tell her how to stop paying for her birth control. Keep her legs together and take care of her kids....If I read that correctly its 10 dollars a month for BC pills. Thats 2 pkg of 12 cans of pepsi....If she cannot find 10 dollars in her budget she should sleep alone...When I was a young woman BC pills were expensive and no insurance covered it. Too many mandates by the government on what they have to cover. That equals increased premiums for everyone....

I guess they don’t remember the Snapple fiasco. Snapple became a real player in the beverage market with Rush’s support. Then they were bought out by a new owner who canceled advertising on Rush’s show. The business tanked and they lost a fortune.

And what did Rush do? He started his own successful soft drink company;Two if By Tea.

Maybe it's time he starts another company. Howabout......Two Side by Side Mattress Company.

Fighting fire with fire. As it is the dems attack a conservative and the response is “Thank you, Nancy. May I have another?”

On top of that, she set herself up when she lied about her motives. Plus, if she’s having that much sex she IS a slut. Along with all of her friends she talked about. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Rush will get the last laugh. He has enough of an empire to not need these ‘sensitive’ advertisers. He’ll be just fine. And if the left figures out a way to shut down the local advertisers, Rush will simply hop to the bird and bring his listeners with him.

Curiously, I really AM in the market for a new mattress. Now, while the California firm had no chance for my biz, Select Comfort might have.

Not any more.

LULZ!`

Wonder if Fluke uses a sleep train mattress in her late night endeavors.

I predict an endorsement deal in her future. To be series, I wonder what kind of clerkship is in store for her as a quid pro quo for her testimony. Perhaps with the Wise Latina? Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

I hope they make this ugly slut their poster child.

It won't work out the way they think it will.

Select Comfort is a model of a mattress manufacturer with its own stores, called Sleep Number. These people are Rush advertisers, still.

Sleep Train is a different animal:

Sleep Train is a chain store of mattress sellers, like simmons, sealy, etc. ... mall stores. No biggie.
