“We have started a new feature at RushLimbaugh.com called ‘Rush in a Hurry,’ and the ‘Rush in a Hurry’ is a little tease, a little tidbit, a little e-mail that you get from us detailing what’s coming up in detail as the website is updated around six p.m. Eastern Time to reflect the contents of the day’s program. What were doing is we are giving away at random eight, 80-gig video iPods engraved with my signature, one a week for eight weeks,” Rush Limbaugh explains.
Limbaugh explains, “Just go to RushLimbaugh.com, and halfway down the page the right side there’s a little red box that says ‘Rush in a Hurry.’ You sign up. It’s free. It’s a little added service to tide you over until the site is updated after the program concludes on a daily basis. So we have away five more signature iPods to go.”
The ‘Rush in a Hurry’ page states, “New from the EIB Network… “Rush in a Hurry” Daily Show Notes… a free email with a quick daily read of highlights from each and every excursion into broadcast excellence… Every Friday, for 8 weeks, we’re giving away a Video iPod with 80 gigabytes of storage. Each of these beauties is customized with a reproduction of Rush’s own signature on the case.”

Aren’t his fingers too fat to write on an iPod?
this guy will add Oxycontin pills to your Rush iPod for free

wow, the second virus on iPod story in less than a week……
barf.
Just awaiting the inevitable onslaught from the libtards…..
I agree. Go Rush… however I’m referring to the Canadian prog-rock band.
Limbaugh reportedly doesn’t like Steve Jobs — not to mention a certain fella who used to be Vice President and is an Apple board member — but Rush has been a Mac user and enthusiast since Apple’s “beleagered” days, often praising it’s products on air. So, agree with his politics or not, I gotta say, th–, th–, cough, choke, th — anks, gasp, for promoting Apple, Rush. Cough
Is it worth selling my soul for the chance at a free iPod?
boy, slow news day…
is it true he’ll sodomize you with the ipod while you listen to his podcasts of constipated rants?
Al,
How can you let this thing happen! Apple and Rush in the same bed! I thought Apple is only for the Liberals.

A feces-brown Zune would be more apropos for Limbaugh’s “journalistic integrity.”
Limbaugh is a grotesque and repugnant monument to hubris, arrogance, selective perception and a complete dearth of ethics.
To have him even remotely associated with anything Apple taints the brand.
Heh, I said “taint” in a sentence referring to Rush Limbaugh. Now that’s an artistic metaphor!
Set up an email alias just for this, and if you win the iPod, take it to an engraver who will, for $20-$40, etch the back to replace the signature of the hypocritical, right wing, nut-ball (hmm… rather redundant, but still accurate) with a square pattern. Then disable that email alias, and life is happy.
Seems worthwhile to me.
Howard Stern rules!
I have never heard Rush say that he dislikes Jobs.
What I have heard him say is that Steve Jobs probably gets ill every time Rush promotes Apple products

I’d have to get some steel wool and scratch his name off. LOL. Then I’ll reinitialize the hard drive 15 times to make sure none of his dribble is on it.
Very talented radio talk show host, with a huge following, who is not afraid to talk up Apple even tho Apple very clearly slants left and even has Gore on it’s board.
I like the fact that Rush didn’t cheap out and offer to give away smaller iPods but rather the big daddy 80 GB ones.
This is just more good news for Apple as it offers even more free advertising of its products to millions of people.
to whom said: “slow news day today”
indeed it is…zz
“Just awaiting the inevitable onslaught from the libtards…..”
How dare anyone question the wisdom of Rush, right? Left?
You’re a tool.
“A feces-brown Zune would be more apropos for Limbaugh’s “journalistic integrity.”
First of all, put away your thesaurus, and pay attention to the real world. Rush Limbaugh is not a journalist, and does not need to have “journalistic integrity”.
He is a news commentator (like Hannity, Combs, Gallagher, Franken, O’Reilly, etc.). His show is (as he says) entertainment. When someone tunes into Rush, they are not doing so to get unbiased news. It is stated clearly that it is a conservative talk show.
People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?
MW: attack (ironic!)
“A feces-brown Zune would be more apropos for Limbaugh’s ‘journalistic integrity’.”

Uhh, Rush Limbaugh is not and does not claim to be a journalist. He is a commentator. There is a big difference. And I thought liberals were supposedly the ones that had cornered the market on nuance. Go figure!
