Four sponsors have severed ties with Rush Limbaughs radio show after the outspoken host called law student Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute.
National advertisers LegalZoom, Quicken Loans and Sleep Number along with West Coast ad buyer The Sleep Train announced this week they were pulling all advertisements.

Obama said he'll sign an Executive Order---taxpayers will pay
for all sex-related constipation."
