It's sinking into the memory hole because it's a non-story. Any of us 
who have ever worked at any affiliate of a major network know that there 
are similar lists with similar major advertisers for pretty much ANY 
syndicated political talk show, whether it be Rush or Franken. Just 
listen to the caliber of ads that run on Rush's show if you don't 
believe me - dietary supplements, shady investment scams. Not a 
blue-chip advertiser in the bunch.
