Imus is a pampas ass who has been Exposed ,disposed? Unlike Sycophant Rush ,Imus even can see the obvious when it comes to Shrub ,Hence ' Happiness on the Block '.

1. That's because Limpballs is backed by the BFEE(Bush Family Evil Empire).

2. When a babysitter says "fuck" on the job, you fire him/her.
When a construction worker says "fuck" on the job, nobody notices.

DISCLAIMER: No offense to construction workers or babysitters.

3. Maybe because his advertisers are still paying money?
Find out who his sponsors are and organize a massive boycott and see if that works.

6. Thats the state of the art lever today positively. Lobbying consciences is a
hard sell ,plus his allegiant listeners would boycott the product for dropping ass wipe.

9. that's the answer
I'n in the broadcast game, management side, and for sure, revenue is ALL that matters to a network. Find out how to hurt his revenue on a consistent basis, and you've got him.

4. Yes he is still on the air....but something has changed don't you
think? The bar has been set and everyone is watching.....Beck, Limpballs and others...

Does Limbaugh go after the Rutgers womens team? Is he that brazen....I think he is....I believe he will do it because he believes he will get a pass....we will see?

:popcorn:

5. Lush can make fun of a potentially terminally ill Hollywood
star, along with all others suffering with this debilitating disease.... NOTHING HAPPENED. And this is not the first time Lush effs up.... not to mention his.... "medical habit".

10. There's no video record...
...and last I heard, there are no transcripts available. Once Limbaugh issues his commands to the faithful, they disappear into the ether.

11. Because he owns his show
Who would fire him? Rush is self employed. His contract with his own corp. calls for 45 million a year. He ain't Imus. 20 million "ears" a week, 600 plus stations and companies standing in line to pay the bill, your dreaming. Imus was a CBS employee, when the big advertisers pulled the plug at MSNBC CBS got worried. Limbaugh doesn't have big national sponsors that care about "pressure" and the local affiliates can sell every minute of air time available.

12. My understanding
and I could be wrong (and certainly don't care enough to check) is that Rush gives his show to stations for free in exchange for a portion of the commercial spots. This would give them even less incentive to "fire" him. Obviously he has a niche audience that his advertisers are going after anyway: "the angry white man". I doubt his advertisers fear much backlash from them.

13. Limbaugh is still on the air
for the same reason that Air America is barely still afloat (if they haven't sunk yet).....MONEY. I hate to explain some fairly simple economics to some of you, but here goes: If you have a large audience (especially a large audience with disposable income) advertisers want a piece of that expendable income, so they hawk their wares in places where their advertisements are likely to be heard by the most people. Like it or not, Limbaugh has a large audience. He isn't going anywhere.
