Poor, Poor, Pitiful He

    Now, this is Michael J. Fox. He's got Parkinson's disease. And in this commercial, he is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He is moving all around and shaking. And it's purely an act. This is the only time I have ever seen Michael J. Fox portray any of the symptoms of the disease he has. I know he's got it and he's raising money for it, but when I've seen him in public, I've never seen him betray any of the symptoms. But this commercial, he -- he's just all over the place. He can barely control himself. He can control himself enough to stay in the frame of the picture, and he can control himself enough to keep his eyes right on the lens, the teleprompter. But his head and shoulders are moving all over the place, and he is acting like his disease is deteriorating because Jim Talent opposes research that would help him, Michael J. Fox, get cured.

    ...

    So this is really shameless, folks, this is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting, one of the two.

    I am a jackass.

    Ah, Rush. Don't be so hard on yourself. You're more of a buffoon than a jackass, if you ask me.

    Awesome job, preson who quoted Rush!

    Also, did Rush miss the whole media frenzy several years back when MJ Fox published his book and talked about how he'd had BRAIN SURGERY to help him? Cleary, CLEARLY, this man is deeply affected by Parkinson's. He's up and down frequently. It depends on the day, his medication levels, and maybe just luck.

    Funny, I don't remember big ole Rush Limbaugh kicking up a stink when Michael J. Fox starred in a campaign ad for me in 2004. That's probably because according to Rush, "every one of his ads is run for the benefit of a Democrat."
