Maybe it’s merely Rush Limbaugh’s temper tantrum, but his current call for boycotting General Motors, seems to me, should give Comcast and all his advertisers serious pause.
Everyone knows about the Magic $400 million…Rush’s contract. Comcast’s ditch.
But not content to thrash around attempting to discredit President Obama’s economic policies or SCOTUS appointment or…hmmmm, has he turned on Bo yet?…Rush more and more is attacking his own.
He wants Obama to fail. But if Obama fails, the country fails.
He wants everybody to boycott GM. And if GM fails, jobs and small businesses by the thousands fail.
Rush didn’t get his way in the last election. He’s ranting and fuming and bouncing up and down, fat globules following. Wanting his enemies to fail, wanting his friends to fail, wanting everybody to fail. Joining him in his twisted, self-destructive little world that all the glittery dollars and Gulfstreams cannot put a polish on.
Maybe in the boardrooms and marketing depts of major corporations they’re having a good laugh at the way Rush is stickin’ it to the Dems and Obama.
Or maybe, finally, they’re starting to say, hey, wait a minute…what if he started talking like that about…us?

If so, it’s long past time they did, PS. I wonder how much Comcast makes on advertising from GM-affiliated entities? That would include Ditech (a subsidiary of GMAC), GMAC itself, GM brand advertising and GM dealer advertising.
I’ll bet it’s a sizable piece of change.
You know, shortening the title to “Rush Bites” would give you one that you can use just about any time…
Mr Sunshine was lamenting over the weekend the absence of American car company advertising. Maybe Rush is lashing because he’s already feeling the squeeze?
True that. But this way one can sustain the series…because surely there will be more as the downward spiral picks up speed.
Keep bouncing, Rush. (What the hell was he on during that speech?)
ClearChannel is laying off people even as Rush got a huge new contract recently.
Clearchannel is owned by Bain Capital the hedgefund Mitt Romney founded.
I wonder if Mitt’s thinking of running for president without Michigan?
Mitt’s dad was President of American Motors Company Mitt was expected to benefit from that connection.
Has the GOP completely given up on Michigan a top ten state win 6 of the top ten biggest electoral vote states and its almost impossible to lose the WH.
Ohio, Illinois etc all got auto and parts plants that depend on GM.
The workers are Reagan Dems.
The workers listen to Rush, O’Reily etc the longer the Right attacks GM the better it is for us.
Has General Custard taken over planning at the GOP?
CORRECTION: Clear Channel’s ditch.
Oh, if only he’d bite a nice big serving of heart failure.
