Partial transcript from The Rush Limbaugh Show yesterday:
Rush: For those of you watching on the Dittocam today at RushLimbaugh.com, you’ve probably seen me pretty animated here during the break talking to the broadcast engineer and my trusty aide-de-camp and chief of staff, H.R. I didn’t want to bring this up. I hadn’t thought I was gonna bring it up. You know, I’m a big Mac guy. I love Macs, and I’ve got four Mac Pros. They’re the top-of-the-line Mac Pros, maxed out. And they just had a new system upgrade, went to 10.5 Leopard, and they’ve had two upgrades since October. Yesterday brought 10.5.2, which was loaded. It was a big, big update. I’ve been having two problems since I went to Leopard that I hoped this update would solve, and it didn’t solve them; and it’s frustrating. I’m telling these guys. I’ve worked patiently. I’ve been very patient with my Apple rep, with my developer rep, and they’re working hard on it, but nothing gets done! All use file reports and get lost in the Apple bureaucratic system — and occasionally a good-intentioned, good-hearted Apple rep will get on the phone, try to solve it, and will say, “Yep. It’s the same problem I’m having on my machine.” They’re having the same problem at Apple that I’m having here, but it’s supposed to work.
So I’m asking these guys during the break, “Do you think I ought to put out a plea to Steve Jobs? I know he’s politically opposite of me, but just to say, “Mr. Jobs, please, I just ordered six brand-new Mac Pros: four for me and two as gifts; maxed out, Blu-ray drives. I’ve loaded ’em up. Our whole office here is Mac, and I just want it to work because I love them — and these two things that aren’t working would seem to me, as a novice, to be a simple fix, but they’re not.” So I was telling these guys, “Do you think I ought to make an appeal, a direct appeal to Steve Jobs from behind the Golden EIB Microphone? ‘Mr. Jobs, please help me.’ I know we don’t agree on anything. You love Algore — and by the way, I’ve got no problem with him now, but can you put me to somebody that can get this going, because I know it’s gotta work for most people. What am I doing wrong?” Maimone said, “You don’t understand it. Jobs has you tagged. He’s making sure your computers don’t work. If you put out this appeal to Steve Jobs and ask him to help, his reply is going to be, ‘Mr. Limbaugh. Do us a favor and endorse Windows.'” (laughter)
Full transcript, in which Limbaugh never does get around to identifying his two problems, here.
[UPDATE: 2:55pm EST: According to MacDailyNews Reader “Tommy Boy,” Rush has identified his two problems: Back to My Mac (can connect using direct IP sharing but not using Back to My Mac) and Time Machine (cannot restore mailboxes). More info here.]
OMG here we go.
I would be interested however to know what the exact problem is. without having to listen to his show.
For me I’m glad they just ‘fixed’ the stacks problem. That problem being that stacks are useless.
Haha, Rush is a pretty funny guy.
Well, he has been a mac user for a long time now. So hopefully he is a little smart when it comes to fixing his own mac problems.
Just a detail show out what the problem is and let us try to recreate it.
Mac user in need is a friend, no matter what their opinions are.
WTF are his two problems?!
I am ashamed that fatass pill-popping conservative buttface Limbaugh is a Mac fan. He should be relegated to the TI-994A.
Then again, guess we need all the fanboys we can get….
WOW! If I had known that being a draft dodger paid so much…
Just my $0.02
If there are Limbaugh listeners here on the list (as I’m sure there are) could you report back on this and let others know what his specific issues are?
One of the most amazing things about the Mac is that the community of people are for the most part so helpful and willing to loook into problems others are having. There’s probably a developer out there who at least has a decent work around.
For some living under a rock, this should reveal that yes, Macs appeal to people of all political spectrum’s (man, Rush’s system setup sounds sweet, but I digress…).
It goes to show that Mac’s “transcend” politics, and give us all “common ground” on which we can agree.
Mac for PRESIDENT!
Ferf-
“Then again, guess we need all the fanboys we can get….”
No we don’t. We have plenty. If we lose Rush, big deal. Who’ll notice? Just the right-wing wacktards.
Evil, evil conservatives don’t deserve macs. Serves ’em right to have problems! Steve probably screwed with Rush’s Macs on purpose!
Limbo has always had a problem with facts and complete, consistent thoughts (remember when he used to say drug addicts should go to jail?). Why should his attempts to define a problem with Apple be any different? His mouth just runs, it doesn’t actually go anywhere.
Liberals should all die! Don’t it figure that a computer coming from the heart of liberal land would be screwed up?! Libs can mess up anything! Even a Mac!
Rush talked and talked and never got to the point?
I’m shocked!
Just let us know what it is, I’m sure we Mac users (including listeners to your show) will have loads of workarounds till Steve J puts you back on his good list.
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
All he has to do is repair permissions. That will fix is problems.. and make his system snappier.
If I were able to write a Mac virus, it would be to have Hillary’s face pop up on Rush’s screen at random intervals.
Just a little harmless fun.
Fortunately for him, he’s using a Mac.
Mac Pros don’t have a Blu-Ray option, buddy. Perhaps you don’t have a problem either, because we all know that Macs are perfect.
@Chair Dodger,
OK, ok, you are correct. Fsck Rush and the rest of his minions.
And @Bon,
I thought you conservatives were all Jesus lovers that love life and would never wish death on anyone (except of course, you’d like to kill all Muslims, which again is contrary to your “beliefs”). If you had any brains, it’s the conservatives that have put us in the mess we are in, not Liberals….
The sobering reality.

Hope Apple can fix the internals of Leopard before it’s too late. BTW, the childish, hate mongering, liberal Apple fanbois won’t get it anyway.
Steve.. you could easily do that in applescript. Just make him think that clicking on the application will make him win free oxycodone.. and you will be set.
Rush is GOD! — Go Rush (we love you out here on the Left Coast)
Clearly, Limbaugh is insane. Up his meds!
What’s the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburgh?
One is a Nazi gas-bag, the other is a dirigible.
Muslems don’t count (followers of the Antichrist Mohamed)
Soooooo……MDN, what is the point of this (other than to get more eyeballs to look at the ad fiesta on the website)???
Look, if YOU took 30 oxycontin a day, YOU might forget to get to the point, too.
There, that’s NY childish, hate mongering, liberal Apple fanboi remark.
Hey stupid liberals…
Rush is helping your AAPL shares so quit whining.
Some narrow-minded bigots like great design also I guess.
I’ll bet neither he nor his support team have tried the Apple support Message boards. I also had more problems with the Leopard upgrade than any other, but I was able to resolve all via a little research.
If he stated the problems in his long-winded plea, perhaps someone could get him the answer.
That is. “MY” remark.
Hey- somebody send a link to this page to Ruch.
Maybe he’ll comment on it!
How the hell is he getting Blueray drives installed? Apple doesn’t offer the Mac Pro ( or any system for that matter) with Blueray drives.
Blu-Ray Drives?
This tirade from oxycontin-addicted Limbaugh is interesting in that it is a typical form of Windows-centric thinking. When PC users have problems with their machines, and they very often do, they like to put the blame at the very top — Bill Gates.
Rush doesn’t bother telling us what his problem is (a HUGE omission) but he sure is quick to go straight to Steve Jobs. What is so wrong that he couldn’t hire any IT contractor who specializes in Macs? I’m sure he could have his problem rapidly if he’d just hire a MacGeek for a day.
Bob: you beat me to it. I was wondering the same thing – I even went to the Apple store online to see if I had missed a configuration option.
Can anyone say if Blueray is available to developers? Did Rush just violate his NDA? Is he going to be pwned by Apple’s lawyers?
This is not a political forum – Rush’s problem is not political… disagree or not – stop bashing conservatives. There are more on here than you think.
Begging for something from a Liberal?! I guess Crushed Limpballs is still suffering from McCain Derangement Disorder.
Probably ordered through a vendor or Blu-Rays put in through his IT staff.
You are just jealous
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
I was going to make some snide remark like, “Does anyone down there still listen to Rush Limbaugh?!”, and then I remembered that enough Canadians voted for Stephen Harper to make him Prime Minister. Head hanging down. Slinking away ….
I think Rush might be back on his drugs. Apple’s not offering a Blu-Ray drive on any Mac, not to the public, nor to developers.
-jcr
@Ferf Muckthrower
“I am ashamed that fatass pill-popping conservative buttface Limbaugh is a Mac fan. He should be relegated to the TI-994A.”
All this hatred from someone who probably spouts that he’s compassionate and a free speech advocate. Typical lib loser.
The Mac Pro has a spare optical drive bay. A third party Blu-Ray drive could be installed in that bay by the reseller. I think people are just assuming he’s ordering the computers from Apple directly.
I hope if Rush does document his two issues somewhere, MDN will report on it so people can offer up suggestions for a fix.
You can easily add a blu ray drive to a Mac pro and other Macs
http://fastmac.com/slim_bluray.php
I wish he’d say what the problems were.
(OEMs add Blu-Ray drives).
Crushed Limpballs! LOL!!!!!
@Messy Pants, I was going to make some snide remark like, “Does anyone down there still listen to Rush Limbaugh?!”, and then I remembered that enough Canadians voted for Stephen Harper to make him Prime Minister. Head hanging down. Slinking away ….
Tell that to Err Amerika. Rush reaches more true Americans than anyone else.
@ByeTakeCare
Wow, was that a web site plug?
Blu-Ray Ain’t On Tap
But el-Rushbo Says Trust Me
Fat Chance Fat Chance Fat…
So why does he think that he deserves special treatment?
What he needs to do is to put in a call to Apple support, then wait…like the rest of us. At Apple, being a rich privileged guy doesn’t get you anything. Sorry old man.
His problems may be larger than he thinks. It might not be so easy to fix them. There’s also testing involved. If 10 people report it, it’s not a big issue. If 10,000 people report it, it might be.
@ByeTakeCare
The last line of your linked article takes most of the wind out of the anti OS X tirade. For those it didn’t waste the time looking at it, it reads:
“And Microsoft Windows was never that bad.”
@ron
Apparently, El Rusho isn’t reaching enough “true Americans” because Senator McCain is winning the primaries with nearly 75% of the GOP vote. Lots of conservatives are turning Limbaugh (and Ann Coulter) off.
I have a blu-ray drive in my <strike>Mac Pro</strike> err Inspiron.
His problem is that he can’t play blu-ray disks on his “blu-ray drives”. His Apple contacts have verified that, sure enough, this cannot be done. Someone needs to tell him the problems will go away when our troops come home.
His two problems:
1. He can’t get his HD-DVD movies to play on his Blu-Ray drives.
2. He can’t get his Blu-Ray Movies to play either, because Macs don’t have a F#$%^* Blu-Ray drive!
TWO PROBLEMS REVEALED….
1. How can I use my Mac to shop for more doctors.
2. How can my mastery of Time Machine allow me to get Ann Coulter in the sack.
Sorry Rush. I can’t help ya.
Draven you are an idiot. Obviously he had a 3rd party installation of a blu ray.
“Full transcript, in which Limbaugh never does get around to identifying his two problems”
sounds like his usual show then?
talk about your useless moronic blowhard.
even the right side of politics stopped paying attention. notice the guys he supported in the primaries got blown outta the water? do us all a favor and just fade away and die you druggie moron.
Yes, it is a shame to besmirch the Apple name by associating it with Rush Limbaugh.
Myself, I don’t get it. I listen to NPR, and a local AM radio talk show (Jim Reith- Syracuse, NY).
Occasionally, I switch the dial, to hear what he’s talking about. How can anyone spout that bullshit all day?
But more to the point, PEOPLE LISTEN TO IT!!!!!
WTF is wrong w/ people?
Talk about garbage in/garbage out!
Not to mention that other sniveling twit, SEAN HANNITY!
I have gotten incredible help from online forums, he should put out a plea to the people. Lot of smart folks online. He should only get a few thousand replys considering his ditto fans use windows.
I’m always shocked this guy would use a mac. Imagine O’Riley using a Mac? People that hate Macs really hate mac users.
Those are some angry people, them republicans.
Come to think of it, do me a favor. If you ARE a neo-con nutcase (not speaking of real conservatives here); and your at a cocktail party, or an Ann Coulter book signing or something, and the subject of computers comes up, please change the subject.
Don’t embarrass the rest of us GREAT AMERICANS.
@Bizarro Balmer
Careful, being smart enough to suggest leveraging the power of the masses on the Internet is demonstrating a level of intelligence not usually found here.
Yeah right.
Mac users see beyond political differences and focus on the commonality of mac ownership.
NOT
@Always Right, and your at a cocktail party,
You, are apparently ‘Always Wrong’, when it comes to:
your – you’re. Your party is the GOP. You’re at the best party.
Granma policia.
Well, now I know that if I sit next to Rush on an airplane we will have something to talk about that we both agree on.
I hear more about ‘tolerance’ now than ever before, and ALL of it being espoused by people of the liberal persuasion.
The vile, hateful bile above is proof positive that all that their ‘tolerance’ is nothing but a crock. And all they need do to avoid having their delicate sensibilities shaken is NOT LISTEN TO RUSH LIMBAUGH.

You’re all so tolerance aren’t you.
I expect nice cogent replies to this post too. Thoughtful balanced objective comments full of tolerance and insight.
Sorry Rush, I don’t think Apple can help you being a fatass and a dumbass.
@Ron
In nearly all European languages, single-word proper nouns (including personal names) are capitalized, e.g., Rush, Ron.
Good one ‘Monk’
Yes folks, tolerance in action here.
Good one “ConLib.”
Yes folks, political correction in action here.
6 pages easy… anyone want to bet?
@HMI..whatever and Spark
1. It’s not a website plug. I’m a techie and the truth is that Leopard has many warts under the hood.
2. Spark, just like I said. The fanbois won’t get it. It’s too technical in nature. Nothing to do with Windows as I’m a long time Apple user and former employee. The Mac is my platform and love Apple products but…they need to nip the problems in the bud. Vista is a flop and Apple will miss a great opportunity here if they don’t get loose ends fixed. That’s all.
I AM TOO tolerant.
After all, there are several redneck wingnuts where I work.
Easy to shut ’em up, though.
Just point out that Bush has out-spent ANY Liberal.
Like a drunken sailor.
TI 99/4A users exclaim: WE DON’T WANT HIM!
I was listening to this in the morning and it was so funny… cause this guy has a humor and he begged and nagged!
I am still not sure what his exact problem is.
@ConLib
Since the liberals here have changed the topic to hate and bigotry, I guess I’ll chime in with you also.
People of the liberal persuasion are not only intolerant, they’re racists and bigoted too. When they look at ppl, they don’t look at the content of their character but the color of their skin or their religious beliefs. Liberals are phony.
He didn’t point them out on purpose because he didn’t want to highlight specific flaws with something he really likes otherwise. He simply wants to get SJ’s attention so he can get the issues resolved.
He seems to have tried to get them resolved on his own before, but it didn’t get fixed. He doesn’t want to point out flaws in the product “on the air” because it will potentially piss SJ off…. And that’s not the mindset you want a CEO in when you want him to help you.
He is simply trying a different, slightly louder and more powerful approach to get his issues resolved in as “quiet” a fashion as the method “allows”. (Essentially standing in the middle of a Best Buy with a megaphone screaming “I Need Some Help!!”)
See http://fastmac.com/slim_bluray.php if you want a MAC blu-ray drive. They cost about $1K.
WOW!
What a bunch of very tolerant comments for those on the – huh, I am always told the leftist are the “tolerant” side of politics. I guess they should read what they write and practice what they preach.
Bunch of loser Hypocrites!
Rush mentioning MDN right now and you liberal weenies here. LOL. He’s listing the bugs he has with his Macs…There u go.
Go Rush!!!!
I am still not sure what his exact problem is.
Nearly everything he thinks and nearly everything he says!
Personally, I will never forgive him for his parodying of Michael J. Fox during the 2006 mid-terms and his misrepresentation of Fox’s condition and agenda.
In a just universe, Limbaugh would have to go through some sort of “It’s a Wonderful Life/The Family Man” type experience and discover how unpleasant his life would be if he had MS.
Hmm, is it possible that he’s got a Mac or 2 but running Vista instead and expecting 10.5.2. to fix it? If he’s appealing directly to Steve and even adding that he’s “ok w/Al Gore” then perhaps no Mac user wants to help him! I still wonder if he really even has a Mac at all. 6 Mac Pros! He must’ve bought ’em back before Leopard’s release since he upgraded it to 10.5 and still the Blue Ray drive is kinda fishy unless he bought it from a 3rd party and even then those were limited back when Tiger was installed. Then it appears that he’s using the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy on what’s the real problem. Maybe he’s got a Hackintosh or Dellinsosh or whatever! LOL
Rush has identified his two problems as being:
1. Back to My Mac (can connect using direct IP sharing but not using Back to My Mac)
2. Time Machine (cannot restore Mail mailboxes)
I have issue with both of those programs and they were the reason I upgraded to Leopard.
And he referred to MDN as being the reason why he mentioned his two problems.
Rush just talk about MDN and his Mac problems on his show. His problems are with Back to my Mac and Time Machine backing up Mail. He is a MDN reader.
Wow. Some of you are pretty nasty. Rush has a right to his opinion. Have we thrown away that part of the constitution when it comes to people with different opinions than your own? To the rest of you who just want to know that what the problem is with his mac, I have alot of respect for you.
“I have gotten incredible help from online forums, he should put out a plea to the people. Lot of smart folks online. He should only get a few thousand replys considering his ditto fans use windows.

Republicans are angry? Read some of the responces in this thread about Rush from people on your side of the isle.
Every one has a skeleton in their closet, Rush happens to be the skeleton in the Mac community’s closet. So chin up Mac users, we can tough it out. Rush is a valid argument for eating your young.
Limbaugh’s problem with the update is Screen Sharing (bonjour/ip) and Time Machine not restoring email.
Sorry, Rush.
That is what you get for being an early adopter of Mac OS X Leopard.
Rob
Did he say he BOUGHT 10.5.2? I believe it was a free software update. Leopard has been working very well for me. Hope he gets his computer fixed. Or not. Don’t much care.

This is what is wrong with America today. What a nasty comment.
Hang on a second, Rush optioned his Macpro witha bluray drive????
WHERE?
I love all the phony outrage from Conservatives, the masters of dirty politics, regarding the “intolerance” of Liberals. They can’t wait to revive their 1990’s militias once a Dem gets back in the White House. A President Hillary or Obama (or even McCain) will be red meat for Rush and his minions.

You need to do your homework. Rush had alot of success BEFORE the Clinton years. You are ignorant.
Question, does anybody own the macbook air? And if you do, what would you rate it?
“You are ignorant.”
What a nasty comment, angela.
Heh, heh…. some of you guys are so close-minded. Blu-Ray drives not available…… don’t make me laugh. Money talks and B$ walks. There’s a guy here in town who got an 8-core 3.2 Pro w/32gig ram a month before they officially existed. Same guy got an iPhone 2 weeks before they officially went on sale. Not a developer, just good connections. So please don’t tell me Macs can’t be had with Blu-Ray.
“So why does he think that he deserves special treatment? “
Well, if for no other reason, he gives Apple tens of thousands of dollars worth of FREE advertising. No telling how many sales he’s generated for Apple.
a computer problem gets the libs panties in a bunch. And so the ranting begins.
Yep conservatives are stupid. (Bush is a Repub. NOT a conservative, by the way).
You libs are gushing & swooning over a political lightweight, a few steps away from being an intern. Hope & change, change & hope, hope & change……
Substance? you don’t need no stinkin substance
I think he could sell you libs a turd…..(most likely is) you’ll all stand in line to buy one.
Liberals are only tolerant of you and your opinions when they match their own 100%. Otherwise they spew hate and call for your death.
Blu-ray drives have been available for Macs for quite awhile. They can be used for data but there is not movie playback software. Probably has to do with the DRM and need for HDCP compliant connection to the monitor.
What a great defense Don. Thank you for making my point.
Ignorance is not an insult by the way. Stupid is. Ignorance means you don’t bother to check the facts on something before opening your mouth. But in your case………wait, I won’t go on.
How many times does the link to FastMac’s Blu-Ray drives for the Mac have to be posted before y’all believe that it’s possible to outfit a Mac with a Blu-Ray drive?
http://fastmac.com/slim_bluray.php
@angela
What did your response about Rush’s pre-Clinton success have to do with my comment? I was referring to the political red meat that Rush and the militias both fed on in the 90s. Those are facts that I lived through in that decade. You made no point at all – and need to do your own homework.
Shall I type SLOWLEY for you? You seem to think that under a Democrat President, right wingers will thrive. Right wingers have always thrived. You think for a second we want a socialist in office?
Been following this thread since it began and it amazes me that so many Steve-can-do-no-wrong lemmings won’t – even for a minute – acknowledge that there are problems – serious problems – with the Mac Pro and Leopard.
Both are suppose to be state of the art and THEY ARE NOT!
Apple’s problems aren’t going away a long as there are so many so deep in such denial.
lol. *SLOWLY
I’d like a shot at solving the 2.
Come on Rush–what are they? Post ’em on MDN.
How about a big cash prize for the first non-Apple employed IT or Mac Fan who solves it?
lol *SLOWLY
@Grammar Police.
@Ron
In nearly all European languages, single-word proper nouns (including personal names) are capitalized, e.g., Rush, Ron.
I choose how I use my name on the net. Could you not reason that some other Ron may have chosen first?
Try typing SLOWLY instead – it’ll make you think a little more clearly, because you are all over the map.
Would it help if I just said DITTO? That’s easy for you to understand – and we can end our “discussion” here.
The lack of an intellectual honesty towards anybody outside the liberal wing is the exact reason I have departed from, and washed my hands of the liberal philosophy. My family are mostly all liberal democrats, and the minute I mention anything about life that they don’t agree with, it becomes a barage of ad-hominem attacks against me. NOTHING INTELLECTUAL.
Tolerance my as$, liberals know nothing of “tolerance”, other than towards the tools that think exactly the same way as them.
Rush, there are plenty of communities with which to gather information regarding your issue, or, give it time, and a fix will be created.
What’s with all the stupid drug references? Obama was a former drug user too – and not an accidental drug abuser who got hooked on something his doctor prescribed after a surgery. He got on drugs by choice. Yet there are ads all over this very site promoting him for President! If you guys have no problem with a potential President who used to abuse drugs, what’s wrong with a radio talk show host who you don’t even listen to who used to be on drugs? Seems very hypocritical to bring up one without the other. Where is that famous liberal tolerance?
How am I all over the map? You hint that right wing host would be happy to have a Dem in office. You also accuse the hosts and their listeners of having “false outrage”. I gave you an example of how right wingers do not need any help from leftist in charge to get what we want done, or achieve success. Is this hard to understand? I guess I have to type it simply for you.
Oh and DITTO.
Cheers JThree
Well, I am one of those Vet, Conservative, Mac lovers… oh, and I do listen to Rush…
Can someone actually answer his question without the political overtones?
So, how many of you liberals pop pills?
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
just a thought for people who post thoughts like this:
“I hear more about ‘tolerance’ now than ever before, and ALL of it being espoused by people of the liberal persuasion.
The vile, hateful bile above is proof positive that all that their ‘tolerance’ is nothing but a crock. And all they need do to avoid having their delicate sensibilities shaken is NOT LISTEN TO RUSH LIMBAUGH.”
the problem in your argument is that tolerance of intolerant people never works. you can’t be tolerant of people like Rush. he wants to use your tolerance to kill you.
tolerating racism is how racism spreads.
tolerating sexism is how you beget sexism.
tolerating ignorant right wing hate spewers……
we are done trying to get a long with bastards. we are taking an Ann Coulter/Rush approach and we are going to start threatening to kill you bastards.
how does your own medicine taste?
what???
All over the map by bring “Socialists” into the discussion. Liberals aren’t socialists – liberal, hippie, Dem Steve Jobs is a prime example of a great American capitalist!
I wasn’t hinting about right wing radio needing a Dem in the White House – I just think that they would love it, because then it would provide red meat for further listener growth (influence which ahs diminished, based on the success of McCain’s current success – whom most of talk radio dissed).
I should have been more clear regarding “false outrage” – what I meant was that the Right dishes it out to the Left just as much as the Left does to the Right – so, when I read the Right’s outrage, it rings false. Believe me, the Left’s whining is just as annoying as the Right’s whining!
Of course, right-wingers have always been around. I remember the John Birchers and their American Opinion bookstores from my youth – that’s why I’m a Liberal today.
Can I go now? ; )
Have a good day, Angela.
shen speaks for him/herself not for all liberals!
So, is it true that Time Machine will not restore Mail boxes, as claimed by Rush?
My goodness, can we get back on topic!!
Look up the meaning Socialists. They look at Hillary’s and Obama’s “ideas”. If you believe in those ideas fine, but don’t try to deny what they really are.
“(influence which ahs diminished, based on the success of McCain’s current success – whom most of talk radio dissed).”
Left wingers complain that right wing radio listeners are mind numbed robots. However when we do something that is oposite of what right wing hosts say, you still point your finger. Oh, by the way, influence has not diminished. I have never heard of so many voters staying home or deciding they are NOT going to vote because of lack of conservatism. Also, right wing radio did not DISS McCain who is my senator, they told the facts.
And yes, you can go Don. You have a lovely day too. You are after all a fellow American and Mac user. Yes, I am a Mac user AND right wing. My God the world has come to an end.
“shen speaks for him/herself not for all liberals!”
Yes we know. Don’t worry.
If true, Time Machine not restoring Mail is a serious issue. It makes me think twice before buying Apple’s WiFi hard drive.
I heard this show today and I have to say that the email backup problem is huge. Also, not being able to use “back to my Mac” means I should have not bought 10.5. Why is Apple not working on these problems? Maybe they are, but we need answers. I push developers to better themselves on my website. Now I as Apple to do the same.
Parker – MacSoftwareList.com
@Parker: Agreed. Back to My Mac and Time Machine are the two main reasons I upgraded to Leopard. Like Rush I’m having issues with both of them. I’d like to see both become ready for prime time.
Americanz is funny.
Libs and cons. What a joke.
Get over yourselves and learn how the rest of the world lives and thinks.
Hey Rush lighten up on the pain killers, stop flappin your jaw and tell us WTF the problem is with you Mac’s!
Hey rush I work at an apple store and the best thing you could do is take them in to get looked or have someone come out and look at them. I wish time machine would work with mail, hopefully that will be in a future update. And Apple really needs to get on roll and get Back To My Mac working properly. I really like your show and believe pretty much everything you do. Hope everything gets taken care of.

Rush is a nasty man, push your political correctness BS some where else. Just because you like Rush doesn’t obligate every one else to like him. If I offended you I’m sorry, actually I don’t give a carp, so piss off tinker bell.

Tell me how Rush is a nasty man. Political Correctness? When did I spout political correctness? When did I tell everybody that they needed to like Rush? Please paste that for me. You don’t give a carp? They why respond to me?
Yawn.
If there are still these sorts of problems with Leopard, then it looks like I’ll be waiting to upgrade – no matter what my politics…

No I think we would rather be individuals. Thanks for the suggesion though Ernesto.
Hmmm, so if you’re a conservative you’re not supposed to have a Mac, according to you liberals out there? So much for your talk about acceptance, diversity, and tolerance – can we say “hypocrits?”
Dear Angela,
Gathering into two tribes that are often indistinguishable to outside eyes and hurling epithets at each other doesn’t really strike me as the paragon of individualism.
P.S. Try “Hooked on Phonics” to help with the reading comprehension problem.
@ Ernesto
Wow. You really hurt me. Now pay attention Ernesto. You may want to be like the rest of the world, but most Americans want to be like AMERICANS. Its healthy to have differnent opinions and disagreements. Our way of thinking is not a joke nor is our country. Why, Ernesto, do you think we have such a high immigation rate?
No really.
Darling Angela,
1. One million Elvis fans can’t be wrong!
2. It’s “it’s” not “its” in your sentence.
3. English is not my first language, but I can still tell that you’re not terribly bright.
4. I love Britney Spears too!!!
5. Your condescension is misplaced.
6. You’ve missed the point entirely.
7. One million Elvis fans can’t be wrong!
8. “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”
9. Did I mention Britney?
@Ernest
Darling Angela,
1. One million slave owners can be wrong -just because the belief is popular, doesn’t mean its right.
2. It’s “it’s” not “its” in your sentence. -unless you are paying me to make sure my punctuation in a blog is right, I don’t give a flying f@ck. Tell you what Ernesto, if it bothers you that much then you can print out my mistakes and go into a dark corner and correct them. Then you can take that paper and shove it right up your collective ass. kisses!
3. English is not my first language, but I can still tell that you’re not terribly bright. -You are rambling. Am I supposed to be insulted?
4. I love Britney Spears too!!! -Insulting people like this just shows everybody else that you have no substance behind your disagreement with me.
5. Your condescension is misplaced. -Please tell me how.
6. You’ve missed the point entirely. -No I don’t think I have. You seem to think that we are all into ourselves because we haven’t had a Cultural assimilation. Sorry to dissapoint you but the United States came into being because the founders WANTED to be different from the rest of the world.
7. One million Elvis fans can’t be wrong! -so clever
8. “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” -A little danger is adventerous Ernesto, why not try the knowledge thing.
9. Did I mention Britney? -Are you done?
Oh and yes, I spelled adventurous wrong. MY GOD!
Unbelievable for a dude without nuts. Oh wait, he IS nuts!
Unbelievable for a guy with no nuts. Oh wait, he IS nuts!
Double no triple unbelievable! Hmm, maybe it’s me – nah!!!
I can’t believe people are turning this into another political bashing. Take it to another site!
What do you expect when Rush’s name is involved?
Glad to learn that Rushbo is a Mac fan. Love listening to him!
Ferf & Bon,
You both represent the far left and right extremes that I like to call stupidity. Nobody agrees with you. Go away.
I’m hurt.
No really
Rush loves Macs, He’s been trying to be a spokesman for Macs for years and Apple has refused his offer.
His free advertising on Apple products has earned Apple a huge amount of revenue. I picked up a Mac on Rush’s endorsements.
When Macworld had a survey on who influenced you to buy a Mac computer, Rush Limbaugh was one of top picks.
Steve Jobs has hardened himself toward Rush even though Rush has only good things to say about Macs and Mr. Jobs. Steve Jobs rather endorse the NYT (every Mac Product) than listen to Rush. Didn’t you think we’d notice?
Come on Mr. Jobs, show your liberal compassion. Or are you?
Rush is a great asset to Apple so what’s your excuse?

Apparently Jobs, Joey. He called him personally.
