I doubt the guy seriously cares too much. Dude has plenty of money, if I was him I was just smile and wave.

I don't think I've ever heard his show before, not even once.

So... I guess.. I.. win?

However, doesn't really matter what advertisers he loses, he has so many listeners that new ones will step right up.

Thats the point I was trying to make yesterday. As I say I am listening to it through iTune at my office and there is no shortage of advertising.

I used to listen to Rush a lot during the 90's, I thought he was pretty over the top and liked to see people go into a tizzy with what he had to say, now it's just old and tired.

Oh advertisers matter, trust me. He knows they matter or he wouldn't have given a second of airtime to the matter. Those advertisers are the ones paying his bills.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

There will always be companies eager to jump in to any spots they vacate, true enough. He is going to get booted from AFR (Armed Forces Radio) however. That would be a huge blow, and it's going to happen finally.

Well, the fact that they pay the bills is kinda irrelevant to my point, which is his audience is so large that now, advertisers are beating at his door instead of the other way around.

Google News search for "rush advertisers"

AOL axes ads to Rush Limbaugh; 9th company to jump ship over Sandra Fluke ‘slut’ flap

Internet giant AOL and online tax consultant Tax Resolution Services said Monday they would suspend advertising on Limbaugh’s radio program, bringing to nine the tally of companies that have broken ties with the GOP pundit since he branded 30-year-old Sandra Fluke a “slut."

E-Retailer ProFlowers yanked their ads on Sunday.

Other advertisers to yank ads from Limbaugh’s radio show include lender Quicken Loans, mattress peddlers Sleep Train and Sleep Number, software maker Citrix Systems, and online service companies Carbonite and LegalZoom.

Others will take their place. I bet he could just do an internet show and people would still listen
