Rush Limbaugh mocked him, saying that he was faking it. He was speedily informed by Parkinsons experts that he was dead wrong, and was forced to apologize. Then he attacked Michael J. Fox with a different critique: "Michael J. Fox is allowing his illness to be exploited and in the process is shilling for a Democratic politician." Good lord, but that man is a waste of oxygen. (Limbaugh, not Fox. Obviously.)

Actually, the meds cause some of the tremors, but keep him able to move and talk. There's been some serious analysis of this and expert testimony in the media about it over the last couple of days. Attacking someone like Michael J. Fox is apparently even more of a no-no than I figured it would be.
