Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIs Limbaugh finally circling the bowl?
He's already lost nine advertisers and a couple of stations (in Mass. and Hawii) have dropped him.
This pig of a man has gotten away with saying anything he wanted for years, but this time, hes getting nailed.
His non-apology apology was absolute 100% bullshit and advertisers continued to drop out after he issued it.
Is this the beginning of the end for him?

Of course, that probably wouldn't stop him from claiming his airwave demise was the fault of Democrats, but still...
So anyway, he might be able to find work scooping dog poo off of people's lawns.

We can hope.

His fate depends on his reaction this week. I do not think Rush will be able to keep his mouth shut and I expect him to say some more sexist stuff this week and give them no choice. His ego is too huge, there is no way he wont escalate this thing, no way.

(89 posts)Remember this is, limbaughs show has been the #1 ranked commercial radio broadcast since 1991.
His books have been on the NYT best seller list ...
And Clear Channel thinks so much of him that they gave him a 8 year, 400 million dollar extension.
Limbaugh has 15-25 million listeners depending on the source and for that reason alone this scandal will blow over. You know why? Because those 15-25 million people agree with him AND already hate progressives and moderates.
NOTHING you or I can say or do will change the mind of those people.
