As the Rush Limbaugh show became embroiled in

Rush Limbaugh's attacks on a female college student are scaring off advertisers. controversy Friday, Cleveland Cavalier's owner Dan Gilbert made a hasty exit, declaring his company would no longer support the talk-radio host with advertising dollars.

Gilbert announced via his Twitter account that Quicken Loans Inc. was pulling its ads from the show in protest over Limbaugh's verbal attacks on a female college student.

"Due to Rush Limbaugh's inflammatory comments along w/valuable feedback from our clients & staff, Quicken Loans has suspended ads on his show," according to a 4:09 p.m. Tweet attributed to Gilbert.

I guess Rush’s show was offensive to female auto mechanics. Auto-erotizone can now try airhead america for their ads.

Quicken can kiss my ass. Got along fine all my life without ‘em.

[eyedigress]

I would guess that Clear Channel has a waiting list for ads during Rush’s show. Maybe Trojan is next.

[Jack Deth]

I’m sure that there are companies large and small lined up around city blocks waiting to take Quicken Loans’ place.

I was growing weary of their ads, anyway.

Also gives Rush more time to flog ‘2 If By Tea’.

[TangoLimaSierra]

It’s unbelievable those idiots expect us to pay for their recreational screwing.

[Secret Agent Man]

‘Quicky’ loans, to go along with SlutFluke - who is too poor to buy Quicken anything, because all her summer money goes to buy her birth control parephenalia.

[jaz.357]

Do ya think the “Trojan Man” will buy time?

[TribalPrincess2U]

Can’t remember where I saw the advert brands but
I’m sure it was SC which is the sleep # bed.

Hey Dan,

You’re a coward and a wussy...

Oh, and YOUR TEAM SUCKS, TOO.

[FrdmLvr]

In other words, he bent over and grabbed the ankles.

I have a "nurturing" Theory about Rush's "slut" remarks ...


First, of course, he's correct ... any Woman in any office, bar, church, etc ... who said that she needs $ 3,000 annually to supoort her (unmarried) sexual addiction ...

is accurately called a "slut" ...



However ... there's a chance that Rush deliberately brought the "gasoline AND the matches" and escalated this to a Nuclear DefCon-1 level ...


WHY ?


Perhaps to take the National attention from the Super Tuesday primaries ... Newt's possible strategic gains ... Santorum's lost status ... and Romney's embarrassment ...

After all ... Super Tuesday is already "page six" news for the next week ...



"Just a theory ... that happens to fit the facts ..."

Spock, Star Trek VI, "The Undiscovered Country" ...

have you found something better than select comfort? I am desperate.

[combat_boots]

El Rushbo, you need to come up with a rubber that fits to a Two for Tea.

[SubMareener]

Tut! Tut! Such language! ;-) You should have said: “Go Fluke yourself!” ;-) (We learned today that Fluke rhymes with luck, and other words....)

[Sgt_Schultze]

You go quicken! Respond to complaints from the occupy crowd - the folks with no jobs and no prospects for future employment. They’ll be good customers for you.

[Retired Chemist]

I wish they’d stop calling her a student. She’s an activist.

[TYVets]

I read on Twitter that Auto Zone has now pulled ads from Rush’s show

No problem for me O'Reilly Auto Parts is the best in town.

[doc1019]

Wait a little while, they will be going cheap soon. Rush won’t mind. ;-)

[Mark]

When “TWO if by TEA” drops him, then I’ll worry.

[blueplum]

the conservatives need to instigate a twitter dump of their own - first Sleeptrain, now QuickenLoans...two can play this game
