PALM BEACH, Fla. – After national controversy over his calling a Georgetown University law student a “slut” and “prostitute,” radio giant Rush Limbaugh says he has brand-new sponsors lined up to advertise on his program, and some who had canceled are now asking to return.
“We have three brand-new sponsors that will be starting in the next two weeks,” Limbaugh said this afternoon, adding he was not going to identify them today.
Two of the sponsors who have canceled have asked to return. We are being very careful about that. I’m not gonna give you any names here. One of them is practically begging to come back.”
There have been reports among some news agencies that at least 40 advertisers have abandoned Limbaugh’s top-rated program since the furor involving Sandra Fluke’s push for insurance-covered birth control erupted last week, but Limbaugh said those news outlets are not being honest.
“Because they lie, and because they don’t understand how it works,” he said. “Everything is fine on the business side. Everything is cool. There is not a thing to worry about. Whatever you’re seeing on television about this program and sponsors and advertisers is just incorrect.”

You set the bar awfully low for what you consider “impossible”.
I don’t live or die by what any talk show host says, so yes, if they aren’t performing to my standards I have no problem going somplace else.
It’s not the end of the world.
Enjoy Rush’s show.
You sound proud of that.
Rush might mention getting some “grocery store flowers” for his sweetie on the air.. just because she’s so cute..
[ Just a tad too long for a bumper sticker, but clever nevertheless! ]
THEN; you would not be interested in “Fluke Obama! Nov. 2012”...
Could get your car “keyed”... Democrats that never heard of Sandra Fluke would “git it” immediately..
Republicans would be as clueless as a Romney voter..
Posted by someone who thinks The Simpsons are great entertainment? Tells me a lot. So by your logic we should all listen to Romney, Sorros, Buffet, etc and take their advice because they are rich?
Actually I can't stand hearing A. M. Talk Radio as in Amplitude Modulated type radio. I have some sensory damage and it triggers seizures. Does that explain a lot more? Or do you simply think everyone who refuses to listen to his show hates him?
My voting in the General Election is very likely far more Conservative than yours especially if you voted for GW Bush. Go Pound Sand.
Exactly. All other isues suddenly went off the table and that happened when? A few days before Super Tuesday. You get it but some never will.

I don't either. My wife watches on Fox Business sometimes to put her too sleep. Other day he was gripping about being out of pain meds. Vicodin or Hydrocodoine I think it was or same thing as it. Most of his show isn't coherent but just stupid picking fights with others on the show. No Thanks.
It is very simple. If Obama wins reelection the country really will come apart. We are broke at the federal level, at the state and local levels, and those who produce will cease to support a parasitic, destructive federal crime machine.
If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the individual mandate and forces compliance, I predict that Texas and a few other Southern states will start fighting back and refuse to comply. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. The Left will be what it is but once they run out of everybody else’s money, the party will be over.
I think the jig is up moment has already arrived. The Left is having a terrible time holding this farce together. The Catholic Church has not forgotten this birth control mandate. Bring out this Fluke woman to publicly tell us how she goes to Georgetown and needs over $3 thousand to pay for what must be a hell of a lot of poking really does disgust a lot of those in the middle.
As a Catholic myself, I know a lot of Catholics who are in the mushy middle,they want to be ‘fair’ and not ‘judgmental’. They were being ‘open-minded’ and all that crap when they voted Obama. Sure, many are simply liberal dolts. But many are the kind who don’t follow politics closely but then watch the liberal press right before the election and decide based on that garbage.
This is a bt different. In 2009, Notre Dame University bestowed an honorary doctorate on Obama. Obama used the chance to talk a lot of fluff to how much he respects religious freedons., blah, blah, blah His historical votes for infanticide never came up. Many, many bishops publicly criticized and even condemned ND for that disgusting display. By now it would be forgotten, but for the fact that Obama and the Left never spare themselves the chance to attack and mock the church. Rather than going away, the problem grows and stays in our minds in this election year. Obama will not get the same percent of the Catholic vote he got the first time around. This contraception mandate on Catholic employers, abortion mandates and this game with Fluke is not good for Obama and the left.
Shiela Jackson Lee and Schakowsky, the other leftist congresswoman from Chicago, ran away from that TV interviewer because they too know that this is no good for them, either.
Physician, heal thyself.
Physician, heal thyself.
Whoever the beggars are, I hope Rush tells them to get bent. Or better yet, doubles their old rates.
Well Lazzie, if you are as cute as that Fluke character...somebody out the might “hit it”(you)
LOL!
I think the Supreme Court will strike down the individual mandate but they will let the tax provisions stand because they are authorized under the 16th Amendment. It really is the 1913 16th Amendment that is killing our liberty here.
The issue of severability is a nonstarter because already in the Appeals court they are saying severability is implicitly understood, in other words Congress meant to do it. It’s possible they could make Congress vote on it again and that would be the death of Obamacare. So severability is a big issue but I am skeptical the SCOTUS would not give Obama a chance to revise its intent on severability as saying it was implicit or was an oversight.
But letting the tax provisions stand in Obamacare means that our US Govt can tax expensive health plans and incomes to pay for health plans of uninsured or underinsured. In other words it will be a huge expansion of State Medicaid.
So the 16th Amendment has screwed us.
The best I see is that people wake up and become aware that SCOTUS upholds Obamacare as a constitutional tax under authority of the 16th Amendment AND they take action and start to debate whether we need this 16th Amendment or can we replace out tax code with the FairTax which can be understood here:

Did you say that in your Rush Limbaugh voice? Or, your Bill Maher voice?
Your language indicates you've been listening to one of them...possibly both. Or, maybe even Ed Schultz.
Yep, you've surrendered...
