Rush Limbaugh Advertisers' Exodus Hits 38 ROCK BAND RUSH JOINS ADVERTISERS DEPARTING RADIO SHOW By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Mar 7, 2012 6:05 AM CST (NEWSER) – The stampede for the exits from Rush Limbaugh's radio show is showing no signs of slowing down: Some 38 advertisers have now pulled their ads, according to Media Matters, which is keeping a running tally. Many of them, including the Girl Scouts and Netflix, say they had bought advertising time without knowing their commercials would air during Limbaugh's show, Politico reports. Other big-name exits: JC Penney and Capital One. Adding insult to injury, Canadian rock band Rush has asked Limbaugh's show to stop using its music, saying doing so "implies an endorsement of the views expressed." A lawyer for the band issued a cease-and-desist letter. But as dozens of advertisers flee, a handful are moving in the other direction. SeekingArrangement.com—which calls itself "the world’s largest sugar daddy and sugar baby dating website"—has announced plans to advertise on the show, and pro-Newt Gingrich super PAC Winning Our Future says it has expanded its Limbaugh ad buy, NPR reports. Also in the pro-Rush column: Sarah Palin, who defended Limbaugh while speaking to reporters after voting in Alaska yesterday, and Bill Maher, who yesterday tweeted, “Hate to defend #RushLimbaugh but he apologized, liberals looking bad not accepting. Also hate intimidation by sponsor pullout.”

I've never known any transvestites "biblically". But, I've known several. I used to work with a fella who was Miss Gay Texas one year! He was a man at work. Heshe liked to date ignorant, lonely, horny soldier boys, and never allowed them to score a "home run"! He'd dish on the details to me at work, and we'd both laugh! One of them PROPOSED! Think "Crying Game". I MAY have rented a fully-transformed transexual in Mexico once. But, with no way to be positive, I just accepted the pleasant experience for what it was.
