"I must humbly disagree with El Rushbo... unless the ad time has already been sold to another client... I feel Rush should forgive. Sleep Train made a mistake...as did he... time to kiss and make up!"

No, his priority is loyalty to his audience NOT the advertisers. The advertisers PAY for access to his audience. Letting Sleep Train back in would be putting them before the audience. Rush had little choice here but to tell them to pound sand.

Plus, regarding such attempted boycotts, Rush managed to turn the tables on them and send a clear message:

"I'M NOT GLENN BECK."

This little bit of stupidity has badly (or perhaps fatally) hurt several of these advertisers. GREAT to watch.
