13:34 - Steve, you're making it hard to like you http://rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_032030/content/stack_h.guest.html	(top)
Rush Limbaugh apparently doesn't think too highly of Al Gore's joining Apple's board either. This was just devastating. We use Macs here at the EIB Network. We're an entire Mac shop, and Algore, who probably wouldn't know the Internet if he was on the computer, is now a member of the Apple board of directors. I have to see if one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch. Gosh, I hope not, and I hope he doesn't have anything to do, other than ceremonial duties, with this outfit. If they start letting him reinvent Apple like he reinvented government, oh boy... I just ordered a couple of new G4 Power Mac towers, and this is the way I get paid back? Geez. And to think, when I followed this link that Kris sent me, that I was worried I'd hear a Rushian rant about how this just proves how stupid Apple is and how much Macs suck. Instead, it turns out that he's mostly just sharing our smirks and mock dismay. Jobs' putting Gore on the board may well have been the underhanded political statement that it so readily resembles; as a corporation, Apple can't really take stands on the big divisive issues, and even when sending out its "QuickTime News" e-mail newsletters, it refers to the content of featured broadcast political items in the broadest possible terms, so as not to alienate half its audience. The most political Apple has gotten is to do things like put up that banner image of Carter on its main page a while back. (Unless you count the giant US flag they draped down the freeway-facing side of 3 Infinite Loop for a year-- but that hardly makes them all that unique.) But these moves by a known left-wing Jobs aren't being received with much humor; Apple as a company may be studiously neutral, and its CEO may be a postmodern hippie, but more and more Mac users are being revealed to be conservatives. I correspond regularly with at least a dozen folks with @mac.com addresses, all of whom share roughly the same views on the war and such, and none of whom don't. And more seem to be appearing every day. We can count Chris Muir among these, it turns out; and now we find out Rush Limbaugh is similarly inclined. I'll bet this pisses off Jobs no end.
