Limbaugh, a stale cliché of a windbag, may well lose more advertisers. He may even lose his job.

Not ruddy likely!

You’re right about Clear Channel, the bigger risk (which isn’t much of one) is that other major radio companies, namely Cumulus, get tired of putting money into the coffers of their rival CC by paying for Rush, and drop him and the other Premiere programs. In which case another station would snap them right up, so it would be a small ripple.

Just a little inside baseball ;-)

The personalities you've described are Barack Obama and Mitt Romney — both narcissists and legends in their own minds.

However, “If” they ever did, Rush would have 2 options. 1. Broadcast on other stations in the same markets, or 2. Satellite.

Hubby said Rush would make great "Pirate Radio".

The Left is soulless. Its minions will soon be burning in a place which they do not believe even exists.

Screw them.

Ms. Fluke herself came to Marher’s defense and said his comments were “nuanced”.

Rush Limbaugh did not label ALL women who are single and take birth control “sluts” or “prostitutes”. He was being absurd and said that a woman, by his calculation who is spending $3 a day on condoms and pills, must be having sex 2-3 times a day for 3 solid years. And that she wanted people to “pay” for her to do this.

She IS a publicity whore and someone who TARGETED a Catholic university for her political activism.

It’s possible she is not even active in a heterosexual relationship. But then she gave commentary (NOT SWORN TESTIMONY) that her case study subjects needed “birth control” for reasons other than preventing pregnancy (like cysts, etc.).

So why shouldn’t diabetics get FREE medicine? Why should they have a co-pay?

“This was the week they lost their credibility.”

Good piece, nice writing, but sorry, they lost their credibility on the sexual politics issues back in the Clinton/Lewinsky days.

Right around the time Nina Burleigh (thank you google!) expressed her willingness to give President Clinton the full Monica for (let’s not forget THIS part) KEEPING ABORTION LEGAL.

It’s all abortion, all the time for these folks.

We can’t stand it, they revere it above all things.

Abortion is the line in the sand.

So, sorry Mitch Daniels (very popular wish you’d run for president guy) there won’t be any truce on social issues. Not as long as the Left reveres baby killing and want you, you mother and your priest to pay for it.

Now that is rich. It is impossible to use the word c*nt with nuance.

You’d think any slut at Georgetown would know that.

Sherman, may I call you Sherman?

Did you just agree with the Author of the piece that Rush's Apology was not heart felt and sincere?

Rush apologized in print and then again on his Radio Show after the weekend feeding frenzy. His apology was not empty.

He explained that he chose the wrong words, apologized to Ms. Fluke, who unlike Laura Ingraham, did not accept the apology (surprise - surprise) and made a point that he did not attach those same words to her personally.

Because he didn't send a Campaign Contribution to Barack Obama to make up for making Ms. Fluke an instant celebrity, does not infer that his apology was any less than sincere.

Is mind reading a hobby for you, or are you are actually The Amazing Kreskin using an anonymous FR pen name?

Limbaugh's detractors stubbornly refusing to acknowledge that their side has many times dabbled -- apology free -- in that kind of misogyny, and worse yet, spinning that their brand of vile was actually acceptable.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. Sidebars:

Identity politics only matter when you serve The Party. Otherwise you are a pariah and a race traitor.

Someone wondered if there are photos of Ms. Fluke at last year’s Georgetown “slut walk” feminist protest.

LOL, I have no doubt she was there.

I’ve always wanted to write a novel and have old-fashioned sub-titles for chapters just so I could have a chapter with the subheading: In which the shoe fits on the other foot and therefore is to be worn.

Just to squinch the toes of dopes like Sandra Fluke, et al., et al., et so many al.

The media conspired with the DNC on this story as they did in the forged Bush memos story and the 2006 October Surprise of the emails between the homosexual Republican and an aide (the media and DNC knew more earlier and “did nothing”).

I got rid of my television in 2008 when the bullstalin got too high to tolerate anymore.

The State Media pushes the daily DNC talking points around the clock.

They are going to get nailed on their diversity racism, too. As soon as the racists come out to defend Bell and people hear and see them... O’Brien on CNN was a warm up.

Louis Farrahkan spoke at Harvard. They are coming out of Obama’s closet.
