AND PROFLOWERS MAKES 7

Fats Limbaugh is starting to circle the drain and I don't think he can blab his way out of this one. Here's part of the ProFlowers statement:

“At ProFlowers, our mission is to delight our customers with fresh and long lasting flowers, and that is our singular focus each and every day,” the company said in a statement. “We do not base our advertising decisions to align with any particular political view or opinion as our employees and customers are as diverse as the USA. Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company. As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on The Rush Limbaugh radio program.”

Today I tried to find some comments about Fats by wingnut radio hosts but most shows, including Fats, were repeats. Ben Ferguson did have a show that originally aired today but he didn't mention Fats, at least not in the segments I heard. Other news sources weren't at all shy. Paul Farhi of the WaPo thinks Fats should have followed the examples of Don Imus and Ed Shultz. George Will thinks that GOP politicians are too afraid of Fats to denounce his remarks:

“[House Speaker John] Boehner comes out and says Rush’s language was inappropriate. Using the salad fork for your entrée, that’s inappropriate. Not this stuff,” Will said. “And it was depressing because what it indicates is that the Republican leaders are afraid of Rush Limbaugh. They want to bomb Iran, but they’re afraid of Rush Limbaugh.”

On FOX News Sunday, Fetus Boy Santorum kept the contraception issue alive but Chris Wallace noted that FOX provides contraception coverage for its female employees.
Billy Cunningham did come to Fats' defense but he was pretty lame. First, he used that standard wingnut diversion tactic of "liberals do that too." Second, Billy falsely claimed that Fats immediately apologized when in fact he refused to do so for days. Third, he said there are much more important issues to discuss.
