Advertisers continue to abandon Limbaugh

.............................................................
Seventh advertiser has pulled ads from Limbaugh's program.

Note that in his "apology" he continued to slam Fluke (without mentioning her by name).

Over a three-day span, Limbaugh conducted a targeted onslaught against Fluke, calling her a "slut" and at one point suggesting she and other recipients of subsidized contraception provide videos of their sexual encounters as a kind of payback.

In his online apology, Limbaugh went on to write:
"I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress ... Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit? In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.
"My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices."

In his diatribe, he not only discussed this young woman's sex life, but he asked to see video of it. Such a lame excuse of an apology, IMO.
Would be fitting to see his mean-spirited words cost him his show due to a lack of sponsorship.

I do believe Greg Allman said it best - "serves you right to suffer"

I just tuned into CNN, and Wolf is going to discuss Limbaugh's "predicament". Serves the bastard right!
