What A Shock: Limbaugh Beats Liberals Again

From The Washington Post: The dark clouds hanging over Rush Limbaugh appear to be lifting.
Exactly one month after the conservative radio host sparked outrage by calling Georgetown law-school student Sandra Fluke “a slut” and “a prostitute” in a three-day diatribe, stations are standing by him, advertisers are trickling back to his program and the news media have moved on....
Limbaugh’s recovering fortunes may be best exemplified by what hasn’t happened. At the peak of the controversy in early March, two small stations — in western Massachusetts and Hilo, Hawaii — said that they would drop his program. Since then, no other station has said it will take him off the air, dashing the hopes of MoveOn.org, a liberal group whose ongoing petition drive seeks Limbaugh’s removal from 180 stations.
Expectations that a weakened Limbaugh could be bumped by a new program hosted by former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee (R) have also not materialized. None of Limbaugh’s many affiliates have said they’ll move him from his midday time slot in favor of Huckabee.

Liberals have tried for 20+ years to get Limbaugh off the air and they have failed.  Every time they try, the liberals just fall flat on their faces.  Most liberals just cannot accept the fact that Limbaugh is very popular and liberals cannot even get a tiny fraction of Limbaugh's audience.
And meanwhile, Limbaugh is just laughing all the way to the bank.

  1. I don't want Limbaugh off the air, I just wish he were considered "fringe" as he was in his earlier years. When Limbaugh had a TV show, he was seen in a similar light as Morton Downey Jr. or Pat Robertson on The 700 Club. Kooky. Extreme. But the Republican Party swung to the extreme edge to meet the fringe. Maybe a liberal talker hasn't met similar success because there IS NO far liberal fringe to speak of, in this country.
