As Advertisers Come Crawling Back, Rush Not Interested In Restoring Ties

Apparently Rush Limbaugh meant what he said when he told his listeners, "Those advertisers who no longer want your business, fine, we'll replace them."

He was also apparently telling the truth when he said that a number of advertisers who pulled their ads in response to Leftist pressure were begging to come back.

One of them was Sleep Train, the first advertiser to pull its ads from Limbaugh's show and someone who had been advertising on Limbaugh's show for 25 years. When they asked to return and tried to book a voiced endorsement, the highest priced kind of radio ad where the host endorses the product, they were turned down cold.

The Blaze managed to obtain the email that a Limbaugh representative sent to Sleep Train President Dale Carlsen:

Thank you for your requests last week and this week to restart your voiced endorsement in local markets of The Rush Limbaugh Show, Rush received your requests personally.

Unfortunately, your public comments were not well received by our audience, and did not accurately portray either Rush Limbaugh’s character or the intent of his remarks. Thus, we regret to inform you that Rush will be unable to endorse Sleep Train in the future.

Rush appreciates your long friendship and your past support, and we wish you good luck in the future.

What's that old saying again? Screw me once, shame on thee. Screw me twice...

Kudos to El Rushbo for being a man of principle and showing these weasels the door.
