WaPo: "Rush Limbaugh is no stranger to controversial statements: A month after conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh called Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a “slut,” the heat on him is fading. Advertisers are back, stations have stood by him and the media has moved on."

AP: Clear Channel boss 'delighted' to have Limbaugh

WaPo has a waterproof keyboard that they gave Paul Farhi
to type this on... through his bitter tears.

****...plumbing-fixture maker Kohler, said this week that it would no longer sponsor Limbaugh****

I'll remember that when I'm remodeling my bathroom and kitchen.

Another epic fail by our friends at Media Matters. I guess poor David Brock will have to go bite his pillow as he cries himself to sleep tonight.

...at a fake hearing put on by congressional Democrats.

It’s not only because the left has become even more irrational, it’s simply because they are like rabid dogs: just throw them other meat and they run off.

Like a black kid getting shot by a “white” Hispanic. Really left? Really? “White” Hispanic?

Desperation really sucks.

Reading the article, I got the idea that Paul Farhi wanted to write one more word at the end. DAMN-IT!

Washpoo is upset that the Rats at Media Schmatters didn’t spring this tactic in early October where they could derail some counter programming to the MSM chorus of “Go-bama!”

I just clicked on Media Matters for the first time ever - they’re OBSESSED with Rush. Too funny.

Little surprise here.

Remember that ‘lawyer’ going from thread to thread posting that Fluke was going to sue Rush and win?
I told him he was full of it and he accused some of us of not understanding the law.

‘Limited public figure’ LOL

It was obvious Fluke would never sue just like it was obvious that you-know-who would never run.

Exactly one month after the conservative radio host sparked outrage ....

It didn't last because the 'outrage' was fake and a Fluke. One definition of a "fluke" is an 'accidental advantage' & that is what this was ...... a chance for Media Matters to pull their Stop Rush campaign off the shelf & put it into action. Except .... the 'outraged' were neither listeners of the Rush show nor patrons of the advertisers. Only the spinelss or leaning-left-anyway pulled their ads. Many Americans have no problem with the substance of what Rush was saying .... and the loyal Rush listeners are punishing the advertisers who cut and ran which is why some are begging to come back. Media Matters may find itself on the endangered progressive species list due to its own internal rot issues, if not already there.
