It looks like Media Matters has caused an invidious schism between Rush and one of his long time advertisers. In fact, Sleep Train exuviated their loyalty to Rush. Now, they see the error of their ways and wish Rush to shrive their invidious behavior and allow them to continue advertising on his show. NO WAY, says Rush. Good for him.

Letter from Rush's show to Sleep Train.

Obama is sneaky, *insidious
His policies lean toward invidious
We realize the danger
Of the fake hope and changer
And know that the man is **perfidious

*Proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects: “the insidious effects of stress”.

** Of, relating to, or marked by perfidy; treacherous. See Synonyms at faithless.

But Rush’s invidious use of invective took the focus off of her invidious message and put the spotlight on her (activist) self. As I said in another thread....Pelosi gave her a microphone, Rush made her a star......

(stolen from the promo of 1987’s “can’t buy me love”, starring patrick dempsey as the geek.......”dating her made him popular, breaking up with her made him a star........”)

Obama’s invidious attacks on the Catholic Church will backfire.

I’m guessing Rich Pilon and Jeff Norton never thought they’d be immortalized in statue form.

Invidious:

Promissory notes incurred by excessively dumb people in movies not shown in theaters.
