Rush Limbaugh Sponsors, After a firestorm of calls, posts and Tweets from angry consumers, two companies pulled their advertisements with Rush Limbaugh after the conservative radio talk show host called a Georgetown University law student a “sl*t” for speaking out about the current debate over birth control.

“Due to recent commentary by Rush Limbaugh that does not align with our values, we’ve made the decision to immediately suspend all advertising on that program,” Gabby Nelson, company spokeswoman at mattress manufacturer Select Comfort, said in an emailed statement.

Select Comfort, which advertises its Sleep Number brand bed, was the second company to sever ties with Limbaugh over the growing controversy. Sleep Train was the first to sever ties. It sent a message out on Twitter earlier today, telling consumers, “We are pulling our ads with Rush Limbaugh and appreciate the community’s feedback.”
