Rush Limbaugh and Zicam: when profit is more important than public safety

Posted on25 June 2009. Tags: FDA, Rush Limbaugh, Stephen Colbert, Zicam

One of Rush Limbaugh’s big sponsors is was Zicam, and was he ever hopping mad that a product he has relentlessly endorsed might damage his followers’ sense of smell. That is, he was hopping mad at the FDA, claiming that pulling this product was an effort by Democrats to hurt him! Stephen Colbert riffed on this hilariously, mentioning that this might be the reason Limbaugh’s listener’s have trouble smelling bullshit. Here’s the video:
