I was hoping it was sleep train!
Yes!!!
Wow. I think Sleep Train has been with Rush since his sacramento days when they were just a small outfit advertising on KFBK.
Knee-jerk can sometimes kick oneself in the rear.
As they see their opportunity to get Limbaugh slip away, they will grow ever more shrill and desperate, and the more they do the more the vast majority of people will say, "Aw, just shut-up already."
Sleep Train just got run out of town on a rail.
Long time Freeper gaijin had the insoide story of how much Rush has done for Sleep train and Dale Carlsen’s fortunes over the years. Rush MADE Sleep Train.
Good for Rush. In this war for America, you don’t need fairweather friends.
Sleep Train’s departure from the program had been billed by some observers as particularly significant because the mattress retailer had been with Limbaugh show for 25 years. Yet the tone of Sleep Train’s withdrawal statement last Friday hinted it might not be pulling out for the long run.
“As a diverse company, Sleep Train does not condone such negative comments directed toward any person,” Sleep Train said at the time. “We have currently pulled our ads with Rush Limbaugh.”
Still, Washington Post blogger Erik Wemple called Sleep Train’s decision “an act worth crediting,” saying that lost ads would have more of an effect on Limbaugh than “well-crafted expressions of outrage from the usual organs.”

Rush is a brilliant marketer. He has the guts to deny access and to make what he offers only obtainable selectively. Everybody wants what they can’t have.
At least the mattress maker had the sense to know what hurts his business and now he on the outside looking in.
Looks like the sleep train is running off the tracks.
Good show!
Sleep Train is a junk shop.
Not two minutes after I handed over my Credit Card, I received a Phone Call from Lifelock notifying me that an account was being opened in my name.
I called them to verify the legitimacy of the new account and requested to talk to a Manager to give my feedback.
After thanking the Manager for the exceptional service provided I made a point to bring up the Rush Limbaugh advertising situation.
I told her I appreciated the fact that Lifelock was not deserting the Rush Limbaugh Show over what I considered a manufactured crisis and that if not for Rush Limbaugh, I would not have been a customer for over three years now since I valued Rush's recommendation of their services.
The Manager seemed genuinely surprised and told me she would be sure my comments were elevated to the appropriate level of Management. A pleasant experience all around.
As for the Companies that deserted the show, they can pound sand. Not a penny from my cold dead hands will find its way into their revenue stream.
