Mac, iPhone, and iPad user Rush Limbaugh today covered Apple’s forthcoming OS X Lion in yet another free advertisement on what, since its inception on August 1, 1988, is the highest-rated talk radio show in the United States. The 3-hour Rush Limbaugh Show airs daily on a network of approximately 590 AM and FM affiliate stations:
Limbaugh said:
I’m using it and I love it. I’m using a beta of the new Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, the new operating system. It’s fabulous, Snerdley. The things they’ve done in the mail app are just fabulous. I tell you what they’ve done. They’ve brought so much of the mobile operating system from the iPhone and the iPad over to the computer, it’s… (interruption) Oh, no, I have a developer release. I’m an official registered developer out there. I’m one of the testers here. Everything aboveboard. The latest is it’s gonna release via the Mac App Store, not DVD. No DVD release. (interruption) Well, it’s four gigabytes. It’s gonna depend on what your connection speed is, but July 6th, I think, it’s out. Did I see July 5th or 6th at noon? It’s fabulous. (interruption) Oh, yeah, everything integrates. It’s perfecto. Look, I don’t want to spend time talking about it now; it’s something you have to see. But I’m just telling you I like it. It’s a significant increase.

Super Bizarre to see him.. ummm … why is he talking about this ? Anyway.. few more days.. should be fun
Having Rush Limbaugh endorse Apple is like having Adolf Hitler endorse IBM.
Two weeks Apple told us that FCP X is perfecto too….
I used to be Rush fan back in New York when he was just starting out. Love it how he makes the libs heads explode.
That’s an unfortunate way to get your jollies.
Now if Big Daddy were here he would be remarking on “… the powerful odor of mendacity…”
Rock on, Rush! Apple is the shining city of successful capitalism. Why anyone would try to destroy something so wonderful is beyond me! Rush is the anti-liberal! He makes a lot of sense. His beliefs r what gives Apple its chance to innovate and contribute while enjoying its well-earned prosperity! Liberals want to destroy these incentives. Apple would have never survived if it was based in Europe! The diaper-wearing, pacifier-sucking, entitlement junkies would want its fair share! For what? For just being a citizen. Don’t earn! Take! Gimme gimme gimme! It’s the liberal/progressive way! Go Rush go!!
Steve is a progressive. He runs the company. Is he a diaper-wearer or pacifier-sucker?
What makes you think I give a flying frack what that cruel, racist, narcissistic egomaniac thinks? How embarrassing that I actually have something in common with that azzhole.
Who cares about his top rated radio show? He’s a vile human being. Someone, I assure you, Steve Jobs doesn’t care to get an endorsement from (don’t see Rush being quoted at a Keynote anytime soon)
Everytime MDN quotes this racist pig they tip their political hand.
In other news… Bernie Madoff likes cash, John Wayne Gacy likes children, and the KKK likes sheets.
Curious why MDM keeps fanning the flames with posts like this.
This kind of article is easy hits for MDN.
Even a clock is right twice a day!
Great stuff! Rush keep slapping that orangutang assmonkey from Kenya around.
Spoken like a true bigoted ‘Dittohead’.
C
Crude, but true. Go Rush……..
Since Rush is a known liar of great magnitude I don’t think his endorsement adds anything to burnish Apple’s reputation.
Liberals, prepare your attacks for later today or tomorrow.
Rush just said he installed iOS 5 beta 2 on an iPad. And loved it as well.
Is Rush perfect? No. But neither are many of the liberal idols like Clinton, Gore, etc. I am conservative but don’t listen to him that much. While I generally agree with him I just don’t like his bombastic style. Liberals love to whine about how hateful, mean, etc. he is, but listening to MSNBC or the late Air America, I heard much, much worse. If it’s a liberal talking heads spouting vile, it’s just fine, but when Rush says something, they go ballistic. Although I doubt many of them have really listened to him. But they just know he’s an a-hole. I swear, liberals are some of the most intolerant and hateful people around. It’s just not healthy to be that negative.
And what about Hitler? Did he like his developer preview of Lion?
No, Dawg, I think he mentioned something about an impenetrable firewall. He wasn’t too clear…
Chaotic political discourse on MDN. Shocking…shocking…
Read this article and tell me what is good about OS X lion, because i really cant find anything. http://v12ntoday.com/news/news-news/apple-os-x-lion-to-offer-mac-users-more-virtualization-options.html
Stupid libs…. apple is a coporation…. rich one and a very profitable one. Business are not in business to create jobs. There are in buainess to create wealth. Job just is the byproduct…
Nobody owes you a job you gota go earn it.
Rush limbaugh creates more jobs in next 5 minutes .then all the libs in this message board combined for your combine lives.
