ProFlowers Announces They Will NOT Pull Sponsorship [View all]

This was just posted on their facebook wall:

"A rep at Proflowers just told me the decision has been made to NOT pul ads. Instead, Proflowers has decided to continue placing ads on the Limbaugh show and continue supporting Rush and his views."

Considering their owner is affiliated with the Koch Brothers, this comes as no surprise.
