Everyone Off! SleepTrain's Last Stop! Everyone Off!

So after years of plying the high-flying byways of the Limbaugh Money Express, Sleeptrain, the very conscience of governmental funding for birth-control devices(after all, that's where most birth-control devices get to prevent pregnancy, in bed ) wanted to get back on the Limbaugh gravy train once the issue of the government's financing of Flook's recreational proclivities having been resolved in a manner of speaking but was very astutely rejected as advertiser by Limbaugh, the same point about money might as well be applied to SleepTrain as was castigated against Limbaugh.

Must be local ads, because I’ve never heard of Sleep Train.

1. Rush RESCUED Sleep Train from certain RUIN, then went on to make a quarter BILLION dollar$ per year

2. Sleep Train FIRED Rush

3. Sleep Train discovered OWS doesn’t buy delux mattresses

Hey I’d call that an education, ya know? Baaad biz instincts....

Even though they advertise on other consrevative talk shows, I doubt they will hold market share. There is much overlap amongst the listeners.

This will hurt them big time.

Limbaugh Rebuffs Attempt By Sleep Train to Get Him Back

Maybe they could get Sandra Fluke as their spokesman. It's a perfect fit!

Fluke: "EVERYBODY knows I spend a lot of time on my back. And that is why I prefer the comfort of Sleep Train."

To people who don't know:

Sleep Train was Rush's FIRST sponsor, before Rush was syndicated, and they opened their most successful California branch virtually in the backyard of Rush's station --the parking lots of Sleep Train and KFBK were physically CONJOINED.

The short story is that Sleep Train was tiny, languishing, and had made a couple iffy biz decisions, and the next (train) stop was missing a loan deadline.

AND THEN he started to advertize with Rush, who at this early point was known only locally:

The money just GUSHED in, in rivults and then a torrent, and Sleep Train was SAVED.

I'm not kidding you -- RUSH SAVED, THEN BUILT SLEEP TRAIN.

This is a hopeful sign helping to ease my fears of liberal power in relation to Rush.

I suspect this incident will cause companies that buy ad space to be a little less influenced by media hype concerning so-called “boycotts” organized by astroturfing left-wing organizations.

Limbaugh reportedly turned aside the Sacramento retailer's attempt at a truce

Doesn't a truce require both parties to be at war with each other?

Most people don’t understand the real situation. Limbaugh has a very long line of businesses begging to be sponsors of his show.

MY LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SLEEP TRAIN MATTRESS COMPANY, SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

Pardon me, boy
Is this the Sacramento Sleep Train?
You're on Track Twenty-Nine?
Hey, it's the end of the line
I'll never board
The Sacramento Sleep Train
Ain't worth the fare
Just to sleep on stuffed hair

You left El Rushbo's station 'cause you got over-sore
Your timing just stinks
You don't matter any more
Dinner in your diner?
No, thanks, you whiner
There are mattresses much finer
And I'd rather take my forty winks
On a La-Z-Boy recliner

CIAO, CAIO, CHOO-CHOO

Leni

WTF??

The rift between Sleep Train Mattress Centers and Rush Limbaugh apparently became permanent today after Limbaugh reportedly turned aside the Sacramento retailer's attempt at a truce.

A truce is when two sides are actively fighting each other, right?

SleepTrain: "Hey, we don't like what you said, we're not going to advertise on your show anymore.
Rush Limbaugh: OK, I'll get someone else to take your spot.

Doesn't sound like a fight to me, so how the reporter claim that ST made an attempt at a 'truce'.
