Sounds like Sandra Fluke knows a thing or two about pulling a train...

Just saying.

Very ironic this advertiser sells mattresses and has train as part of it’s corporate identity. The best part about this is the people that called for the boycott and contacted them will never use this decision as a reason to actually buy and use their product. When will businesses learn, they’re only a tool for this sort of thing and will never see business increase as a result of this decision.

I would make far more money as an advertiser on Rush Limbaugh’s show as a sponsor than counting on the business that may be generated with good will from these “boycotters”.

If you want to piss off a conservative, lie to him.
If you want to piss off a liberal, tell the truth.

So...a mattress company pulls their advertising because Limbaugh made a disparaging remark about a frequent user of their product? Irony abounds....

Not a National Advertiser... probably a local advertiser on one station. Big whoop.

Maybe Sandra Fluke will start her own radio show with Sleep Train as advertiser?

Apparently she lied about her age. She said she was 23, but she is 30. And she is an activist whose main purpose in life is to push contraceptives. She was doing that BEFORE she went back to law school.

“contraception” isn’t the issue.

Defeating their primary impediment to power, the republican party, IS the issue.

THAT’S what this is about.

Here we are talking about sluts and a company named Sleep Train pulls out! LOL

Sometimes humor writes itself. Rush could care less.

Sleep Train? Never heard of it.

Guess I won’t be buying a Sleep Train.

Pro Flowers. They sent my last order to the wrong address, forgot the box of candy, the flowers were wilted and they refused to make it right. Don’t waste your money with them.

I object to calling her a “women’s rights” advocate, when asking for someone else to pay for her contraception, it ceases to be a right. No one has a right to someone else’s money.

Sandra Fluke would make a good mattress demonstrator for the company.

After all she must have TONS of experience being on her back.

>Meanwhile advertiser ProFlowers said it will ‘re-evaluate’ its marketing plan <

Gee, had anyone ever heard of ProFlowers before Rush and later Sean started advertising for them?

Nice way to bite the hand that gave you your biggest break ever. I’ll never use them.

Exactly, at obscene profit levels, too.

But boy, what an opportunity this outfit missed...

“Georgetown Sluts pull the train on a Sleep Train mattress!”

“Sleep Train, the official bed of the Georgetown Sluts”

“The pill is expensive but even Georgetown Sluts can afford a Sleep Train mattress”

As Glenn Beck would say, “watch what the other hand is doing.”

Conservatives fell into a trap laid by that criminal mastermind, Nancy Pelooney.

I listen to Rush every day, and never ONCE heard an ad for “Sleep Train.” Sounds like Fluke’s boyfriends.

A lot of people have been complaining about the quality of the product from Pro Flowers.

Your right. Rush has more advetisers waiting in the wings, than Ms. Flute has admirers.
