Fluke Rejects Rush's Apology

While more sponsors bail.

Nice try, Rush. Nine advertisers have pulled out of Rush Limbaugh's show and a radio station in Hawaii has dropped his show since he called Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a "slut." In addition to the high-profile loss of AOL, Tax Resolution Corp.—which features a photo of Limbaugh endorsing it on its website—also dropped his show. Meanwhile, Fluke said that Limbaugh’s public statement of apology does not change anything. During an appearance on The View on Monday, Fluke, who generated a firestorm with her birth-control testimony, said, "I don't think that a statement like this issued, saying that his choice of words was not the best, changes anything, and especially when that statement is issued when he's under significant pressure from his sponsors who have begun to pull their support.”
