Whatever. It still was seen by advertisers as controversial, according

Just out of curiosity...how many of those advertisers had a problem with
being on Rush Limbaugh's program when he compared what is happening in
Abu Ghraib (sp?) with harmless frat-boy hazing?

Make a list of Limbaugh's advertisers. How many mainstream advertisers
are there? Conservative Digest? Limbaugh has been on the don't buy
list for years.

If Laura Schlessinger lost advertisers because of a gay bashing
comment I suspect those same advertisers would drop Limbaugh if they
hadn't already rejected running spots in his show.
