It has taken too long but it finally happened.  Rush Limbaugh has finally received what he has deserved for a long time.  His comeuppance.

If you are a public figure in America you are subject to scrutiny.  Whether it is your words or behavior, you have put yourself in the public eye.  Obviously some of those pubic figures do not understand that reality.  Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is an excellent example of someone who committed acts that the general public considered inappropriate (an affair with a maid at his home).

Words spoken by Don Imus resulted in his dismissal.  John and Ken in Los Angeles were suspended for about 10 days for their name calling.  At long last talk show host Rush Limbaugh has managed to cross the line.  I am not a fan of Limbaugh but have heard him occasionally because my car radio is tuned to the local station carrying his broadcast.

The consequence of his words is his loss of advertisers.  It is the perfect payback.  Limbaugh’s choice of name calling will cost him money and perhaps the loss of his program.

The Associated Press reports: “ProFlowers said Sunday on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh’s program because his comments about Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke “went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company.”

The six other advertisers that say they have pulled ads from his show are mortgage lender Quicken Loans, mattress retailers Sleep Train and Sleep Number, software maker Citrix Systems Inc., online data backup service provider Carbonite and online legal document services company LegalZoom.

We should listen on Monday morning to his program to decide who we should boycott.
