Rightly or wrongly, Rush Limbaugh's downfall began with the Sandra Fluke 
fiasco, when he totally misrepresented what Ms. Fluke had actually said, 
and then attacked her personally by calling her vile names for four 
days.  Yes, it was lefties who organized a boycott of his sponsors, but 
even some moderate Republicans and MANY businesses were increasingly 
uncomfortable with the hatefulness of his rant and how long it went on 
-- it was well over the line from satire or political commentary, and a 
few rightie bloggers, who at first were in favor of attacking Ms. Fluke 
because she was an advocate for "Obamacare," quickly saw that this was 
becoming a problem and said he ought to back off.  He didn't.  And you 
know how advertisers hate being associated with controversy.  So, even 
the ones who personally liked and agreed with Limbaugh began to pull 
their ads from his show; and the rest, as they say, is history.
