Rush Limbaugh Doesn’t Use Computers

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?
