The real question of the day: Will Rush Survive?


How about—Will Carbonite survive if millions of conservative subscribers pull their business in response to an owner who basically argued that his OWN daughter is somehow equivalent to a dysfunctional woman at Gerogetown law who, by her own admission, apparently has sex morning, noon and night?

In all seriousness, we learn more about what happens when formerly ballsy start-up companies succeed (thanks in part to their original introduction to the world on Rush’s show) in such way as to become big, exceedingly compromised enterprises trying to be all things to all people. (Extreme sanctimony is usually a sign that a company will be delivering a watered-down product in due time.)

Of course Rush has to hold his affiliates together and deliver high-paying advertisers so he HAS to apologize — and he did go a metaphor too far here because he picked on a private citizen. Not that she didn’t ask for it.

Chris Wallace is a slimeball. How about letting him talk about issues like the failing economy? Did Chris do the research or the DNC?

Can anyone verify if Carbonite pulled their ads? I don’t see anything at their site.
If they did, I an canceling.
No more Pro flowers either-used them a lot.
Thanks.

Rush is falling into a trap he made for himself. three hours a day is a long time especially if yo ar not well disciplined 100% of the time.As we see 95% will not always work.

For Rush to fall into an obvious rat/trap of dealing with social issues when the country is on the brink of disaster financially and every other way is near unforgiveable.
