Rush Limbaugh has a contract with somebody who is paying him millions of dollars a year, and the only company I heard mentioned was Clear Channel.
That's the first I heard about Cloris Leachman's remark about Sarah Palin, but I found it reprehensible.
Don Imus apologized for his remark, but was fired by MSNBC anyway.

I can post a link of a recording of what Shultz said, but it's not that hard to Google.
I don't think Shultz needed to be suspended. What are we children? An apology coupled with the public shame would have been enough, in my opinion.
The firing of Don Imus was a stupid thing for his radio network to do and cost them much money. It was also a cowardly way to address the hypocritcal "liberal mob" that demanded it.
How many of you liberals on this forum have demanded the firing of Bill Maher. How many times did he call Sarah Palin the "c" word that rhymes with "hunt", and not even get a reprimand from his network, or Obama or anybody but conservative media sources.
This hypocrisy is incredible. I haven't even started on the hate speech shown President Bush, or the racist comments directed at Condi Rice..
