Rush Limbaugh said the loss of some sponsors is like "losing a couple of French Fries in the container when it's delivered to you in the drive thru." In other words, it's devastating.

I think Rush is in trouble.... :D

By last count, at least 50 sponsors had pulled their support from Limbaugh's show.

On Thursday, Limbaugh's program was practically devoid of paid advertisements, according to reports. Of the 86 spots that aired, 77 were "free public service announcements donated by the Ad Council." Seven ads were from companies "in the process of pulling their spots."

SNL takes on Rush Limbaugh losing his sponsors.....

BREAKING NEWS: Rush Limbaugh Syndicator Suspends National Ads For Two Weeks

By Judd Legum

Radio-Info.com reports that Premiere Networks, which syndicates the Rush Limbaugh show, told its affiliate radio stations that they are suspending national advertising for two weeks. Rush Limbaugh is normally provided to afflilates for free in return for running several minutes of national advertisements provided by Premiere each hour. These ads called “barter spots.” These spots are how Premiere makes its money off of Rush Limbaugh and other shows it syndicates.

But without explaination, Premiere has supended these national advertisements for two weeks. Radio-Info.com calls the move “unusual.” The development suggests that Rush Limbaugh’s incessant sexist attacks on Sandra Fluke have caused severe damage to the show.

From the memo:

Attention Traffic Managers of Premiere News/Talk Affiliates: We are suspending the requirement to run barter spots for two weeks, March 12th and March 19th, for our News/Talk affiliates only. Please replace/re-traffic any Premiere barter spots immediately. Contractual requirements to run barter spots are being suspended for these two weeks only. Replace them with Lifelock and Lear Financial or a local spot of your choice.

Earlier today, ThinkProgress exclusively reported that 140 advertisers, including dozens of major national corporations, had requested their ads no longer air on Rush Limbaugh. Lifelock and Lear Financial among the only companies standing by Limbaugh. Over the last several days much of the advertising time during the Rush Limbaugh show on his flagship station, WABC, has been filled with free public service announcements.

So..... it's OK to make personal attacks on people if you disagree with their political leanings, right Rush? People don't take you seriously, because they know it's just you, right Rush? You're supposed to be bullishly Conservative, right Rush?

So...........

Not really contributing to anything.
Anyways, apparently Santorum still has enough faith in Rush to describe visiting his hometown as a religious pilgrimage to Mecca. Isn't there something in the 10 Commandments about this sort of thing?
