wow, that's some pretty epic fail right there

Hehe what an idiot!

I hear that them newfangled cars can't feed from a normal trough too!

Only ditto heads would believe that.

In Rush's defence:

- You were taking him out of context!
- He was kidding! Can't people tell a joke anymore?
- Clinton / a Clinton staffer / a Democratic candidate somewhere did it first.
- He's being misquoted.


(those are the usual Rush defences. I'm sure one or more of them apply here, no?)

wow. Did limbaugh REALLY say that it's impossible to search a .pdf document?

the republicans are more computer illiterate than I thought...

Still doesn't get past the fact that PDFs are goddamn retarded for a text document.

Weaver95: wow. Did limbaugh REALLY say that it's impossible to search a .pdf document?

It's not that. Limbaugh is just a moron.

No YOU'RE a Towel: Still doesn't get past the fact that PDFs are goddamn retarded for a text document.

Uh, it's perfectly fine for one you don't need to edit.

Yep - i'd have to agree. .pdf is an acceptable format for multiple platforms. Limbaugh just made himself look like an ignorant asshole to everyone with even a moderate amount of computer skill and/or knowledge.

Limbaugh's a Mac user. He's not expected to be computer literate.

Rush said "for those people that don't use computers you won't be able to use keyword searches."

He is a "borderline genious".

I dunno, that's an awful lot of html fail for someone who knows how to use a computer.

Fark yourself.
I know that there are plenty computer literate Mac fans out there.
I also know that a lot of people get a Mac for the very reason that it requires little if any computer literacy. These are who my comment was directed at.

So don't be so defensive, Macboy.

Do you really think there is anyone who isn't already polarized to Limbaugh who doesn't already know who he is?

No YOU'RE a Towel: Still doesn't get past the fact that PDFs are goddamn retarded for a text document.

Exactly right with one little, teeny, tiny (hardly worth mentioning) change: Replace "retarded" with "ideal" and add "whose formatting you wish to remain constant no matter what computer is used to view it."

But other than that, perfectly spot on.

He's not as big as his press releases would have you believe.

Yes, he has lost some weight recently.

I guess ol' Rush hasn't gotten to the Adobe Acrobat lesson from Video Professor yet.

/please try his product

Weaver95: He's not as big as his press releases would have you believe.

Of course not. But I'm just saying it isn't like this is going to change the opinion of anyone who knows who he is. The only change may be that this gets a few people who don't know who he is to find out he's a moron from the start. This won't discourage the faithful.

I used to listen to that....."person."

Even if I was still a staunch Republican I'd STILL vomit
at this IDIOT's utter lack of intelligence.

He is a windbag attached to a brainstem, a lower digestive
tract and a large blabbery rectum.

If we can put up with a greenlit thread of an Ann Coulter article, we can have more +1's for this thread.

I'm shocked that no Fark Independents^TM have stopped by to explain why Rush didn't made a mistake.

Bucky Katt: I'm shocked that no Fark IndependentsTM have stopped by to explain why Rush didn't made a mistake.

I'm not going to claim the Fark Independent^TM label, or say that Limbaugh is anything but a pompous shill, but when you take a digital document, print it out, scan in the images of the printed pages, and post those images in PDF form, it really does make searching for words in that document nigh on impossible.

Man, if only that were somehow applicable to this situation! You'd really have a point then. :)

Guess they had a twofer deal on Oxycontin this week.

baka-san: Guess they had a twofer deal on Oxycontin this week.

I know you're just joking around, but I seriously wonder if Rush is slipping back into drug abuse. His stress level has to be through the roof since Obama was sworn in, and from what I can tell he has no real support network at home.

chakalakasp: Man, if only that were somehow applicable to this situation! You'd really have a point then. :)

Sorry, that's exactly what the PDF's I had DL'd were. If there are text versions available now then just ignore my previous post and go back to the Limbaugh jokes.

gis for pudge lymphnode

well hell...

Leave it to the elitist libtards to put the bill in .pdf format which 68% of real Americans can't even see because they don't have the tubes.

This should be available on clay tablets so that all of America can see what a socialist piece of shiat this bill really is.

Does it really matter what is in the bill? Congress was going to pass it without reading it anyway. Then they will blame the Reps for not signing in and voting Aye.

There could have been provisions legalizing slavery and it would still pass.

CTRL+FAIL

I am SO bidding on Stacy Dash.

Hmmm, a Coulter thread, and now a Rush thread. Let's go for the trifecta of fake attention-whoring outrage by greening a Malkin thread as well!

A) They are not impossible to search
B) Every goddamn law in the books is in pdf. I know this because I downloaded the last stimulus bill. It was in PDF too. I only checked out some National Intelligence Estimates. They were all in PDF.

But yeah, I do hate pdf.

He's the leader of the Republican Party. He's the leader of the Republican Party. He's the leader of the Republican Party. He's the leader of the Republican Party.

/stay on message

Yes, now it's time to have a nice fireside chat with Fatbaugh.

I was about to say that this might hurt his credibility, but...

So when is this fat farkhead going to kill over?

I need to convince Rush to use my distro on his computers. GParted combined with my disk wiping scripts could make for some great FAIL.

I would like to see any of you talk live for 10 hours a week and not say something retarded.

This is not the first time Limbaugh has biatched about computer issues on the air. In every instance he has shown himself to be less clueful than my mother.

Then again - he may just need to fill some time between calling for the end to America and taking a hit from whatever prescription drug he's on at the moment.

cameroncrazy1984: No YOU'RE a Towel: Still doesn't get past the fact that PDFs are goddamn retarded for a text document.

Uh, it's perfectly fine for one you don't need to edit.

Uh, that's the purpose of pdf. It makes it hard to edit an official document to deter people from changing it.

(those are the usual Rush defences. I'm sure one or more of them apply here, no?)

It's obviously satire, and we're just proving his genius by discussing this.


(That seems to be a popular defense as well.)

I wonder if Rush uses a wireless network at his house? If he does... the possibilities are limitless.

Failing_Junk: I would like to see any of you talk live for 10 hours a week and not say something retarded.

I'd like him to go 4 minutes without saying something retarded.

Rush seems to pull off the retarded talk the entire 10 hours.
