Michael J Fox. VS. Rush (not the band, people)





Michael J. Fox has responded to conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who suggested that Fox's Parkinson's-related tremors in a TV ad for a Democratic politician were exaggerated.

In the ad for Missouri Senate challenger Claire McCaskill, who supports stem-cell research, Fox exhibits the severe shaking and stiffness associated with Parkinson's disease. (See clip below.) But Limbaugh said on his syndicated radio program Tuesday that Fox was "either off his medication or acting."

If you haven't seen the video, here it is:



Campaigning in Chicago for Democratic Congressional candidate Tammy Duckworth, Fox shot back, "My pills are working really well right now," the Associated Press reports.

Limbaugh said on his radio show, "If this was not an act, then I apologize." He went on to say, however, that Fox is allowing his illness to be exploited.


First of all, RUSH LIMBAUGH is so damn desperate to find a new way to gain the respect of humanity (yes, that includes Republicans) again. Guess what? This just isn't going to cut it. Making inflamitory statements like these is severely fucked up. Just because he checked into rehab doesn't mean he's a medical authority on illness? The way he goes on about Fox's pills and his acting makes me think he's been taking a few tips from TOM CRUISE lately???? And you know what, it's Fox's illness, so he can use it or not use it in any way he goddamn pleases!!

I kind of wish it were Rush the band and not Rush the Limbaugh. It would be way more fun watching the Parkinson's-ed out Alex P. Keaton go toe to toe with Canada's greatest buttrockers.
