Is anybody else entertained by the fact that advertisers are leaving the Rush Limbaugh show in droves?

Pro Flowers was the 7th advertiser to leave so far.

The six other advertisers that say they have pulled ads from his show are mortgage lender Quicken Loans, mattress retailers Sleep Train and Sleep Number, software maker Citrix Systems Inc., online data backup service provider Carbonite and online legal document services company LegalZoom.

Also entertaining is the fact that Rush was clearly told by Clear Channel to apologize because now they're getting hit hard financially. His apology was clearly scripted and clearly painful for him to do.

I love a great example of the 1st amendment. Rush exercises his right to speak by blabbering idiotic nonsense. Consumers exercise their rights by stopping to buy products advertised on his show. Advertisers drop his show. It's a wonderful thing.

It's up to 8 now.

It's very entertaining. If you've listened to Limbaugh's show for even a small amount of time you'd know those were pretty big advertiser's too.

This has happened to Rush many times now.
Is this time any different?

Yup, the long-term opiate addict has lost it...including ad support and political support: Juan McLame and the Creepy Weepy Orange B0ner went negative on Drug Rush

Rush rejects millions of dollars of advertising each year, it's totally insignificant. Those slots are already filled. What's interesting here is the bait-and-switch tactic this question is really meant to use, which is to deflect all attention from the TRUE issues. This girl wants us taxpayers to pay for her to have sex. The Obama administration is making an end-run around the Constitution by mandating religious organizations to pay for contraception, which he has ABSOLUTELY NO CONSTITUTIONALLY GIVEN POWER TO DO SO!! Come on guys, you gotta try harder than this. The gig is up, mainstream Americans aren't falling for the fake headlines and feigned outrage anymore.
