Quicken loans (not owned by Intuit anymore, amusingly) were sponsors for almost a decade. This isn't the first storm of controversy Rush has ignited - you may recall the furor over "I hope he fails" a few years ago. Some internal calculus has apparently changed. That doesn't, IMHO, make QL more or less "virtuous" than they were a week ago.

PS - I actually think the guys at QL have been a game changer in the home mortgage business and admire them greatly.

I recall the "hope he fails" but it wasn't what solidified my dislike for Rush. This is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THcVQOcJDEM

There are better clips of him mocking Fox but I thought I'd let my favorite radio personality describe it. This, btw is a very unusual thing for Rehm to do which made it all the more poignant. Solidified my dislike for him and my appreciation for her.

As for Quicken, better late than never.
