Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Id10t

Media Matters has caught Rush Limbaugh in a moment of sheer stupidity. (Again.) During his radio program last Friday, Limbaugh accused the Democrats of trying to obfuscate the contents of the stimulus bill. He said:

In addition, they have reformatted the 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.

MM has some nice screencaps at their site of searches they executed on the evil PDF document. And do you think that those who don't use computers have any idea what a "keyword search" is?
