No wonder the Chron is tanking 

SFist made me click on Rush Limbaugh's web site. Brock: this is evil. What happen to the NSFW warnings? Sheeesh.

Anyhow, the reason I was clicking on the link was that it mentioned Debra Saunders, and I was curious what she's up to. Well, she corrects her "good buddy" Rush's pronunciation about Caille Millner's name. It's Ky, as in kayak.

Note to Debra: mispronouncing Caille's name is the least offensive Rush says on his show.

Anyhow, Rush was talking about Caille because she wrote an article belittling the community activists in San Francisco for preventing an American Apparel shop to open in the Mission. The Chron wrote three pieces, (Millner, Andrew Ross, Chuck Nevius, as far as I can tell), and all of them criticize the community for deciding what they thought is best for them.

Hey Chron: have you given up on your San Francisco readership? You spit on their face, repeatedly for their decision, and then you'll try to sell them papers? Maybe the people in Walnut Creek, reading those pieces, will go: "yup, those San Franciscans really sure are stupid." Come on, Rush cites the Chron approvingly! But you know what, if your core readership is Rush's audience, or Marin and Contra Costa counties, and they so dislike SF for being dirty silly hippies, you should consider changing that name of yours. The Bridge-and-Tunnels Chronicle, how does that sound? Anything to disassociate you from those gross San Francisco value. Maybe move out that 5th and mission building, I hear Santa Rosa has real cheap commercial real estate, you'll save money.

Ross actually let the truth out of the bag. The decision stopped American Apparel from creating jobs, and Ross adds: Not to mention the ad dollars the company was prepared to spread around neighborhood media.

Ha! The Chron was hoping for more advertising revenue, that's why they're so bitter about it. They desperately need any dough, some was coming their way, if only the Mish was not the Mish. Oh, so close!

Hey Chron: Mish readers are revenue too!
