http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2012/03/07/companies_looking_to_separate_fools_from_their_money_see_potential_in_limbaugh_.htmlCompanies like Ashley Madison, a website for adulterers and wannabe adulterers, and Seeking Arrangements, a website for men who hire younger "girlfriends" or at least like to imagine they could, have signaled that they want a piece of Limbaugh's audience. While previous advertisers like AOL and Netflix appealed to jerks and non-jerks alike, these businesses have a douche-centered business model that really could benefit from reaching out directly to the angry misogynists that have kept Limbaugh's coffers flowing with illegal Viagra and Cuban cigars.
as it turns out the original editorial was an Onion style parody - but that didn't keep Rush from digging his hole deeper
Limbaughs Latest Female Target: B-i-itchy Washington Post Writer
By Alex Seitz-Wald on Mar 8, 2012 at 1:21 pm
After targeting Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke last week and journalist Tracie McMillan this week, Limbaugh turned his sites on Washington Post comedy writer Alexandra Petri today. Petri wrote a column for the Posts comedy section yesterday, but Limbaugh apparently had a bit of an Onion problem and assumed Petri was a reporter, not a satirist.
Limbaugh attacks the so-called reporter (shes not actually called that) for inserting her b-i-itchy opinion into her reporting (which was not actually reporting). Again, Limbaugh apparently cant help but use gendered slurs to attack his female critics. Listen to the audio via Media Matters: http://thinkprogress.org/media/2012/03/08/440868/limbaugh-washington-post-writer/

It seems that these people are a good fit for Rush, he ought to be very comfortable with them as business associates.

Yeah, there's actually a store by that name that sells penis pumps; mega electric pumps for guys like Limbaugh who need online porn from ladies like Sandra Fluke and viagra and still can't get it to function.
