The rift between Sleep Train Mattress Centers and Rush Limbaugh apparently became permanent today after Limbaugh reportedly turned aside the Sacramento retailer's attempt at a truce.
Limbaugh rebuffed Sleep Train's request that the controversial radio host resume his duties as a paid spokesman for the company.

I suspect this incident will cause companies that buy ad space to be a little less influenced by media hype concerning so-called “boycotts” organized by astroturfing left-wing organizations.
They are sleep number beds.
Rush personally did their commercials.
In that case, we can assume she prefers a firm mattress.
No, it was Weep Train... crying for Cat Stevens’ Muslim terrorist cohorts all killed blowing up the local train taking women, children pilgrims home from the holy city.
Hello Sleep Train my name Peggy how may I to be helping you?
Haha, Good One!!!
Most people don’t understand the real situation. Limbaugh has a very long line of businesses begging to be sponsors of his show.
We should now call them the Dixie Chicks of the sleep industry....I LOVE IT!!!
Fluke: Hey, fellow liberals, if you like Amtrak than you’ll LOVE Sleep Train! Receive your choice of free condoms or birth control pills with every order. Plus, for our LGBT customers, order within the next 10 minutes and receive free rainbow pattern sheets!
I’m in the biggest market of L.A. and never heard of their ads either.
Looks like all their stores are in California, employee-owned private company. Rush is handling this exactly right, they need the access to customers he provides more than he needs them, radio ad time is highly fungible and he’ll have new advertisers in that slot instantly.
Protests and boycotts are only effective if they affect the target companys bottom line. If, in a year or so, there are fewer Sleep Train stores open than there are today, we’ll be able to judge the results of Rush’s decision.
If this train is a rockin, don't come a knockin!
Pardon me, boy
Is this the Sacramento Sleep Train?
You're on Track Twenty-Nine?
Hey, it's the end of the line
I'll never board
The Sacramento Sleep Train
Ain't worth the fare
Just to sleep on stuffed hair
You left El Rushbo's station 'cause you got over-sore
Your timing just stinks
You don't matter any more
Dinner in your diner?
No, thanks, you whiner
There are mattresses much finer
And I'd rather take my forty winks
On a La-Z-Boy recliner
CIAO, CAIO, CHOO-CHOO

The rift between Sleep Train Mattress Centers and Rush Limbaugh apparently became permanent today after Limbaugh reportedly turned aside the Sacramento retailer's attempt at a truce.
A truce is when two sides are actively fighting each other, right?
SleepTrain: "Hey, we don't like what you said, we're not going to advertise on your show anymore.
Rush Limbaugh: OK, I'll get someone else to take your spot.
Doesn't sound like a fight to me, so how the reporter claim that ST made an attempt at a 'truce'.
Let the douchebag to to air america for advertising. Let’s see if randi rhodes will pull his train.
Lends a whole new meaning to the term takin’ it to the mattresses’. LOL.
Now, that there was funny!!
Is sleep train a publicly traded stock? I’d like to see a graph of it plummeting.
