Looks like the sponsors bit off their noses to spite their faces. On a side note, in a recent article of Hot Rod, they say a good rule of thumb when it comes to tuning a street rod engine is to treat it as the ideal sponsor: you want it to run rich and retarded :p

Either Rush has a powerful market or he doesn’t. The real problem the left has is that the people who really contribute to our economy are Rush supporters in very significant numbers. Leftist emotions and this utter nonsense over Fluke are about as valuable as farts in church. The key is to stay focused and keep the pressure on the left. This farce over Fluke will dissipate quick as a fart in the open air provided that the conservatives don’t allow the distraction to get us off what really matters.

The problem is not calling this Georgetown, Jesuit school sex machine out for what she publicly admitted she is. The real problem is playing into the left’s hands over this farce. Newt had it right with David Gregory on MTP on Sunday, and Rush has it right today. This nonsense will pass very soon. Stay focused! Smart people will not fall for this crap.

Since this a Rush thread, here is an earlier post I made on another thread.

Mr. Ed Theme:
A slut is a slut of course of course

But no one can call one a slut of course

That is of course unless the slut

Is the famous Sandra Fluke

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Go right to the source and ask the slut

If you have to pay her to sit on her but

And she will say, of course you must

Cause she’s the famous Sandra Fluke

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Limbaugh yakity yaks away and loses Carbonite

Letting us know what the sluts won’t give up

Because they think it’s their Civil Right

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A slut is a slut of course of course

But no one can call one a slut of course

That is of course unless the slut

Is the famous Sandra Fluke

Looks like he is doing no less. HE SCREWED UP! He made personal comments about a person when he should have simply debated the issue. He could have even asked why an unmarried college student wants government to pay for her birth control etc. As a result of doing otherwise the liberal media has had a field day. It was a dumb thing which he did.

Do I feel sorry for Rush? No! Maybe if he checked his ego at the door before going on air he wouldn't have gotten into this mess too start with. Crowing about sponsorship sounds like he didn't learn a darn thing. He was as wrong as Ed Schultz, Don Imus, and a few other radio and TV host doing same. To rely on any of them for one's political guidance or information is insane.

I'm pinging my best FRiends for this one!

A 30 year old slut claims to be 23 goes before Congress...

Roger Clemens lies before Congress...

I think Ms. Fluke would like Clemens, he is known as "The Rocket" after all!!

Flood the phonelines of the scum who cut Rush, you can engage them in kind conversation like how Barry's uncle is continuously on trial for DUI. How if Ms. Fluke is honest (which she is not) she has sex 3 times a day 365 days a year and probably has more STDs than a towel boy in a San Francisco bathhouse.

We got to fight back guys! This is it. If Barry Hussein gets another 4 years he'll abolish term limits.

I know we have waring factions of Newt vs. Santorum. I still predict a brokered convention. Personally, I think Newt could demolish Zero in debates, but I also believe Rick could demolish Zero.

As far as Mittens? The folks I pinged know me and know I don't even want to think of that. I vote March 20th, hopefully the morons in this state will release Romney is like a side show at a bad Carnival!

I would expect some of those “big sponsors” to issue statements declaring that they are NOT among the “big sponsors” Rush mentioned as “begging to come back”. For example, if Carbonite remains mute, that company would certainly become a likely suspect as one of those “big sponsors”. Similarly with Sleep Train and the rest - - all those companies that bailed on Rush have put themselves in a stunning, “no win” situation. They can’t pipe up and publicly dispute Rush because that is simply a losing proposition. No way would they irritate half their customer base that way.

They have to shut up, and grin and bear it.

Ironically, those companies that bailed and are NOT “begging to come back” have to remain mute as well so as not to irritate half their customer base, PLUS “seal the deal” and permanently alienate themselves from Rush’s show. They have to leave the door open at least a crack in case they figure they need to come back.

If I was an investor in one of these companies that bailed I would be livid.
At them.

I have noticed that some advertisers who canceled Rush (such as Sleepnumber) have stepped up their advertising on FOX.

The only thing I have a problem with in thos whole sordid saga is the apology.
If you are a host with a world wide audience, think about your comments before they are uttered. That is what all of this massive “show prep” that Rush brags about spending endless hours on is for. But once you say something, own it. Stand by it no matter what.
If the day comes that it does become necessary to apologize, then apologize for your own actions or words, without dragging anyone else into it. “I was acting like those on the Left” sounded like “ ...but they do it, too!”, coming from a five year old.
See ya, Rush. I’m going back to Andrew Wilcow.

In the future I suggest Rush lead everyone right up to the cliff, pause and then say ‘you might think that, but I could never say’. Rush listeners will know exactly the idea without Rush using the non PC word. This gets his point across without giving the red meat to the Libs. It will drive Libs crazy since Rush did not say the word and if the Libs try to make an issue out of what Rush did not say, it becomes a case of how dare the Libs put words in someone else’s mouth!

Yesterday we had the pleasure of telling Pro Flowers to get lost and keep their “52%” discount. They wrote back with some blah blah blah about respect for our opinion. Nice!

Will someone with a few billion dollars to invest start one or all of the following:

1)A conservative news wire.

2)A conservative satelite tv Network. Not one channel but an entire network! With about 3 Conservative News Channels.
Pro-American/Pro-Capitalism/Pro-Family/Pro-Individual/Pro-USC

3)A Conservative version of Hollywood.

All threee would complement each other.
