A lot less people are interested in what conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has to say after he called Georgetown University law student a slut and a prostitute, according to one industry ratings source.
Politico reported on Monday that Abritrons key demographic ratings between March 29 and April 25 showed Limbaughs show had fallen 27 percent in New York City, 31 percent in Houston, 35 percent in Jacksonville and 40 percent in the Seattle-Tacoma market.
Clearly Sandra Fluke isnt the only one who didnt like Rush calling her a slut given how many viewers that comment incinerated, a listener told Politicos Dylan Byers.
In late March, Limbaugh had claimed that he ratings were up by between 10 percent and 60 percent after he called Fluke a slut because she advocated that health insurance cover contraception for women.
