Or maybe he has access to a meth lab.

Nothing would surprise me regarding that hypocrite.

He attacks Democrats' character while he's on his FOURTH failed marriage. He's a known drug addict. He was caught packing Viagra on a trip to the Dominican Republic while not accompanied by a woman. Why do you suppose he packed it if he wasn't going to use it on a prostitute or a child?

according to BoycottRush.org, they are doubling down and offering "Rush Limbaugh discount Codes":

AutoZone (UPDATE: They say that they do not sponsor Rush, and that if a commercial was run, it was in error)
Carbonite (: )
Citrix (UPDATE: Citrix has pulled their ads!)
LegalZoom (UPDATE: LegalZoom has confirmed with us directly that it is pulling its ads!)
LifeLock
Oreck (UPDATE: Oreck says it does not now advertise on Rush, but may have had some ads on a while back as part of a broad media buy)
ProFlowers: (UPDATE: Oh. My. God. They are actually featuring "Rush Limbaugh discount codes&quot
Sears: (UPDATE: They say they are not advertisers on Rush)
Sleep Train: (UPDATE: Victory! They have pulled their ads! -- source)

BTW- a link to my post on Pic of the Day


“So, Miss Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here’s the deal,” Rush said in a salacious frenzy. “If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, you have to give us something in return. And I’ll tell you what it is.”

Right about here is where the fat man in the glass booth appears to be rocking back and forth.

“We want you to post the videos online,” said a breathless Rush, “so we can all watch!”

He made a feeble half-assed attempt of an apology on a Saturday on his website.....That's bullshit, he needs to do it on his
radio show on a weekday, just like his slur against Ms. Fluke. Nothing less from this pond scum should be acceptable.

Sun Mar 4, 2012, 07:55 PM

He rarely gives interviews and when he does it is mostly to Fox News or their runoff. He did give access to the NY Times last year and they wrote a mostly flattering article.

Every time he has been let out into the public he has had to retreat in shame. The fill-in spot on the failed Pat Sajak show - his failed syndicated show - his brief stint on ESPN - his failure to get into an NFL franchise ownership. Every single time he has retreated into his darkened lair because he simply doesn't sell. He is as scared of people as they are of him when they get to see him in daylight.

They are only sorry that they are caught and exposed for who they are...human excrement....

Rush is the REAL Prostitute....when his $$$ are suddenly threatened, he "apologizes"...

This actually makes me even madder...that he thinks he can do what he does and then just laugh it off as if its some joke he was playing and whine "sorry, haha..just kidding".

Well, what he did is unexcusable and unforgiveable and i for onethink this misogynistic hateful asshole should have his advertisers know and be reminded daily until they pull their ads.

But what I havent seen here or anywhere discussed yet and I think is the biggest target of all: AFN-Armed Forces Radio....why are our taxpayer dollars funding this hateful piece of crap to be broadcast to all of our Troops across the WORLD? How do you think this makes our women in uniform feel? Does it make them in a safe environment if this is the garbage being spewed? And its not as if that broadcast is ONLY heard by the soldiers...its HEARD by ALL! Which means in the very same countries in the Middle East where we claim to want to help women get educated and have rights, places where a woman is treated like property and can be killed for even merely being accused of adultery, that they are hearing this broadcast???

I had family in Europe say they have heard this and they are disgusted....how about how this makes the US look that we "broadcast" this vile hate on our military radio channels around the world?

I demand to have AFN no longer with our tax dollars support this hate speech. It could even be argued that this vile hate talk could cause problems for our troops and set back what we diplomatically and in relationships set out internationally. Rush Limbaugh should NOT be allowed to be the "Voice of America" via Armed Forces Radio (and our tax dollars).

So I checked www.myafn.net, and the only progressive talk radio show on there is the Alan Colmes Show, who is with Fox News. And he is horrifically boring, and hardly "popular." They won't carry Stephanie Miller, nor Randi Roades, nor Ed Schultz. No wonder the services create someone like Timothy McVay out of those impressionable young minds.

Fluke is asking that the full coverage insurance we pay for actually cover BCPs. If you pay $300 to $1000 dollars a month for insurance and a co-pay to fill a prescription, that is not asking for something for "free". That's asking that a prescription be covered.

I just saw a great comment on Huffpo at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/03/carbonite-online-backup-rush-limbaugh-apology_n_1318892.html:
________________________
Everyone write Chrissie Hynde & ask her to pull her song from his show. This won't cost him money - the impact is purely emotional. Every one of his listeners will know it was us that made it happen. She needs to know how her fans feel about her song leading into the hate filled RL show.

management@jpchrissie.com

The Song is "My City Was Gone"

I just sent Hynde's management an e-mail. I'm betting Hynde doesn't even know he uses her music.
