Rush would have welcomed Apple ads for years but Steve would not buy Limbaugh's show. I always thought Steve was extremely short sighted and let his inane politics get in the way of business. God knows, Gore isn't selling any Macs. If truth be told, Gore does keep a low profile when it comes to Mac
evangelism. Wasn't it the Clintom Justice Department that went after MSFT?
I know Rush was not a supporter of that move either.

I'm sure Gore's placement on Apple's board was Jobs' way of making sure Gore didn't have to panhandle for lunch money

Yes. And it just so happens that the lead plaintiff was Netscape, whose largest shareholder at the time was a private investment group funded by a bunch of Indonesian-Chinese billionaires. Funny how Indonesian-Chinese billionaires kept popping behind everything the Clinton Administration did...
