Rush Limbaugh is a Jerk

Here is Michael J. Fox's ad on stem cell research, which is very powerful.

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.)

Whoa. I had heard Fox had gotten bad, but I had no idea. But yet he keeps going and he'll always be the bee's knees for me. And Rush says he's FAKING it? yeah, let's trust the man who's strung out on OxyContin, shall me? How DARE he?

Allowing his illness to be exploited? I didn't see a gun to Michael J. Fox's head forcing him to do that video. It took a lot of guts to do that and all I can say is bravo to Michael--he got dealt a shitty hand but he's doing what he can to maybe keep it from happening to someone else.
