Rush Limbaugh & Homer Simpson: Life imitating art?

[BirminghamExaminer]

Excerpt:

It was Friday the 13th. Rush Limbaugh told his listeners:

There was a promise from the Obama administration, the new era of responsibility and transparency, that all such legislation would be posted on the Internet for five days so that the public could read what is being voted on. Ain't going to happen. In addition, they have reformatted the bill. They've made it a PDF file when they posted it. Now, for those of you that don't use computers, basically what that means is that it cannot be keyword searched. A PDF file is essentially a picture of a page, and so you can read every page but you cannot keyword search it. It's not a text file as legislation normally is, as posted on these public websites. They don't want anybody knowing what's in this.



Limbaugh intoned, "Now, for those of you that don't use computers....." that PDF files can't be searched. Actually PDF files are easy to work with and can be searched by keyword. One only has to click on the binocular icon in the PDF toolbar to put in a keyword search.

It's probably pure coincidence that TV cartoon character Homer Simpson has had similar problems learning to use a computer.

1. Code words

"Now, for those of you that don't use computers....." = Old fogey racist ditto-heads.

Don't get me wrong, liberals grow old too, but just remember, Hitler's biggest demographic in the 1933 election was the senior vote.

5. I think it's code for ignorant, back-woods, education hating, tobacco chewing,

wing-nuts with nothing but a radio, a TV, a pick-up, and a couch.

2. What a fucking nitwit.

PDF is "the" format for any stuff you send to the Hill...and it's incredibly easy to edit and search, if you know what you're doing.

Homer is so much smarter than that turdlet!

4. I know...I hated to insult Homer Simpson by comparing Limbaugh to him

3. Rush was depending on his tech-impaired audience that is doing well to tune a radio to his show

or they call their mom down to their fallout shelter to do it for them.

6. I just sent an E-mail to Rush bringing this to his attention.

Wonder if he will correct himself as he is after all, America's truth detector. Don't worry, I'm not holding my breath.

What a douche... Limbaugh knows nothing about computers.

10. Sorry,,, but if Rush says the files are not searchable...

... then it must be true! And anyone who actually tries to search PDF files is obviously a traitor who hates America ;)
