Conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh is a Mac user. But not a happy one. Today he put out a plea to Apple CEO Steve Jobs to fix a bug that's been plaguing him for months.
Mr. Jobs, please help me. I know we don't agree on anything. You love Al Gore — and by the way, I've got no problem with him now, but can you put me to somebody that can get this going, because I know it's gotta work for most people. What am I doing wrong? [My producer] said, "You don't understand it. Jobs has you tagged. He's making sure your computers don't work. If you put out this appeal to Steve Jobs and ask him to help, his reply is going to be, 'Mr. Limbaugh. Do us a favor and endorse Windows.'"Rush, how about you explain your problems online, where thousands of Apple fanboys will gladly resolve them? That seems easier.

Goddammit, another OC-80 post?!?
Stop the insanity right now!
Does anyone listen to Rush? The last I heard is that he was searching for donut-flavored OxyContin.
He should consider switching to the bacon-flavored OxyContin.
rush, you're such an addict.
is this totally code;
"but can you put me to somebody that can get this going, because I know it's gotta work for most people."
for:
"can you score me some egyptian cotton bitch?"
He probably wants to turn the dock off.
Rush is an pompus windbag like no other, and while I can list dozens of reasons why he needs to go away, I will never fault him for getting hooked on pain killers.
I was on some powerful pain killers for a back injury, and it was scary how much I wanted more of them after my perscription, and pain, were long gone.
I used to be the first to mock people who got hooked on pain killers as being weak, but after my own experience I softened my stance quite a bit. It can happen to anyone; those things are nasty.
Rush only likes Macs cause he likes to trip out on the iTunes Visualizer when he's poppin Oxy Cottons.
Unfortunately, he's the most listened to Conservative Radio Show in the country.
The FreeRepublic has a thread everyday about his show so they can say hi to each other and "Ditto." His Goebbels like directions to the followers.
@Bender: And Bender, I think a special case can be made for ragging on him for getting hooked as he was and continues to be such a staunch supporter of the "war on drugs" and to some extent has made his living off of demonizing "crack heads" and "pot smoking hippies". If he came out of his ordeal as a champion for the poor and unfortunate who get thrown in the slammer for having a few crack rocks on them and made it a rallying fry for American to support drug treatment programs instead of incarceration, it'd be one thing, but he hasn't. He is an unrepentant hypocrite and a douchebag of Biblical proportions.
@ Bender: You're right. It is just that it is the easiest way to attack his hypocrisies. Addiction is no joke, so I retract my OC80 statement. He is a jerk who makes me (almost) be ashamed to be a mac user.
Wait - we are all missing the point.
Mr. Limbaugh is a.... Mac Fanboy!
This can be spun. From 1984 on, any ruff-tuff Republican he-man was supposed to ridicule Macs as "wussy computers."
Turns out, Mr. Ruff wants his computer to be dependable, predictable, and stable. Who could have imagined?
His peers, however, are very likely to wrinkle their pancake makeup noses (revealing wrinkles of biblical proportions) and sneer at him.
Bear in mind that "Rush Limbaugh" is a brand name. This gentleman plays a boor on radio.
It is obvious that Rush Limbaugh is an artist "passing for an MBA."
He's really ours, and if we can rescue him, he may show the same gratitude towards the real world that he gave unstintingly to the extremist right.
He's just another Mac fanboy trying to make sense of corporate America.
Give him a break.
