More than 20 advertisers have now reportedly run from Rush Limbaugh after his apology to Georgetown student Sandra Fluke failed to quell the media firestorm that was sparked by the conservative radio host’s characterization of her as a "slut" and a "prostitute."

Sensa Weight Loss program, clothing company Bonobos, John Deere, telecommunications company Polycom and AccuQuote life insurance are among the sponsors who requested today that their ads be removed from the show, according to the Atlantic Wire.
