While I personally loathe the man, I've no doubt that he has in fact 
gotten people to at least consider the Mac who otherwise wouldn't have. 
He commands them as a voodoo priest commands zombies.

However, even if Rush were a raving lunatic left-wing anarchist weirdo 
(people whom I also loathe), I wouldn't suggest Apple advertise on his 
show. Apple should not advertise on ANY blatantly political show. I was 
unhappy with Apple supplying iMacs to the last Democratic Nat'l 
Convention (unless they offered to do the same for the Republicans).

Apple does not want to associate itself with ANY political ideology. 
Apple's mission is well above such petty nonsense as partisan politics.
