Rush Limbaugh has rejected an advertiser’s apparent attempt to reunite with his show after the company initially dropped its ads from the program following his remarks about contraception advocate Sandra Fluke.
The company, Sleep Train, calls itself “the No. 1 Bedding Specialist on the West Coast, and most recognized mattress retailer in the region.”
In an email to Sleep Train President Dale Carlsen (obtained by The Blaze), a representative of the show says that Limbaugh personally considered the company’s request, but denied it considering its public comments following the controversy.
“Thank you for your requests last week and this week to restart your voiced endorsement in local markets of The Rush Limbaugh Show,” the email begins. “Rush received your requests personally.”
“Unfortunately, your public comments were not well received by our audience, and did not accurately portray either Rush Limbaugh’s character or the intent of his remarks. Thus, we regret to inform you that Rush will be unable to endorse Sleep Train in the future.

My understanding is that they are a chain of retailers that originated in the Sacramento area.

Here’s what I think is Rush’s plan; Let Carbonite come back. Gladly take their money. Whether Rush’s audience buys Carbonite is beyond his control. I suspect they won’t and I also suspect Rush knows it. He can’t say that of course but it’s really a double whammy...Rush gets Carbonite’s money and his listens still don’t buy Carbonite’s products. Suckers!
I remember that.Shame the owner wasnt smart enough to realize just how bad he was about to screw up.
It’s the Premiere schedule, and this one is on for Tuesday and Thursday. It’s the spot that goes with his morning update. They renewed this schedule through early April.
BRAVO!!!
They are liars. Rush didn’t have dead air time during commercials. Daily nuts just wish...
Carbonites stock was down today, even thought the NASDAC was up. They had a slight uptick after the big sell-off, but heading down again.
Rush should make the companies issue a public statement of regret, for their misguided actions, before taking them back.
He let Carbonite come back.”
Doesn’t matter. I cancelled last week and will not reconsider. Other options available. Maybe others will learn to engage their brain before they put their mouth in gear.
Oh yeah! Try that radio station...

I just received some blueberry diet tea. :)
I, too, ordered a 12 pack. Not too bad. I don’t really care for tea but do like blueberries.
I was hoping it was sleep train!
Yes!!!
Wow. I think Sleep Train has been with Rush since his sacramento days when they were just a small outfit advertising on KFBK.
Maybe they stay on the morning update but are nixed on the regular 3 hr show?
Thanks! You are more than just a “dubber,” you are involved in sales contracts. Didn’t catch that before.
Knee-jerk can sometimes kick oneself in the rear.
BTW, I didn’t know any “Classic Rock” stations carried the Daily Update.
As they see their opportunity to get Limbaugh slip away, they will grow ever more shrill and desperate, and the more they do the more the vast majority of people will say, "Aw, just shut-up already."
I am not involved in sales or traffic, just production and programming.
Sleep Train just got run out of town on a rail.
It’s not a classic rock station. It’s a conservative talk station. If you’re talking about my handle, WXRGina, that is a reference to the very first radio station I ever worked at as a jock back in the mid-90s—that was my nickname. Those call letters are no longer in use.
