ABC reports:

It's been one week since Savage made controversial remarks about autism, referring to those diagnosed with the condition as "brats, idiots, and morons." ... Sponsors of Savage's radio show, such as AFLAC Insurance and Home Depot, have pulled their advertisements.

And this is laughable:

Savage's syndicator, Talk Radio Network, issued a statement in his support: "The network is satisfied that he did not mean any disrespect to autistic children or their families, but was, instead, reiterating his longstanding concerns on public health issues."
