Rush Limbaugh Doesn't Use Computers
By DAVID ORTEZ on February 17, 2009
Apparently, Limbaugh does not use a computer or just doesn't know what the hell a PDF is. The fact that he uses a qualifier in order to make the false allegation on his show is indicative of the hypocrisy that he embodies.
"In addition, they [Democrats] have reformatted the [Economic Stimulus Plan] 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; they want it happening as fast as possible so nobody can know what's in it." - Rush Limbaugh on Economic Stimulus Plan
A PDF, a.k.a. portable document format, created by Adobe ... you know those guys that created Photoshop and own Flash (the software needed to watch those hilarious YouTube clips) boast that a PDF is searchable on their website. In fact, I find it hard to believe that a company that can create such a complex program such as Photoshop that allows you to manipulate photographs so that you can create fake scenarios ... it would not have the technical ability to add a search feature on a PDF.
If only the Comedian Rush Limabugh had used the universal shortcut (universal implying that no matter what program you use ... Word, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Acrobat, Excel etc.) if you input "Ctrl F" on a PC or "Command F" on a Mac you are able to search the document. You can also search a PDF two other ways ... using the Search window or the Find toolbar.
Unfortunately, Limbaugh is not aware of these technological advancements ... should someone tell him that we can record audio or video and put it on the Internet for all to see and hear?
