Any chance of Clear Channel dumping Limpballs?

Do you think they're looking at the walking abscess and wondering how to rid themselves of him with the least amount of money as possible?

He is the franchise for CC in my opinion.
So if things get critical I doubt they would dump him, but I believe they might force a real apology.
How would a man who has enough money to live many lifetimes react?
He may quit and go on internet / Satellite radio.

to give the 'hiring' side an out for bad behavior. Accenture, Nike - all dumped Tiger Woods for example.

Rush isn't spox, but his contract is undoubtedly tied to ad revenue generation. Don't know what kind of out is in Rush's contract, but I would be greatly surprised if there wasn't an out stuck in there somewhere that he blew off thinking that ad revenues would protect him and it wouldn't be exercised.

Would be interesting to find that out.

I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them got together to keep Limpbone on the air. He's more valuable to the elites day-in-day-out than an ephemeral politician.
