What sort of moron would accuse anyone of faking Parkinsons

A moron such as Limbaugh, that's who. I NEVER liked that jerk and he just confirmed my belief that there still are such idiotic people out in this world. He must be back on drugs again (he was in rehab for sometime) to accuse such a respected, loved person such as Michael J. Fox of faking Parkinson's??? How dare he!! If I were Michael and his wife, I'd sue the pants off of this piece of garbage, just to prove a point.

That is SO despicable. He's up there with Howard Stern, the shockjock, another person I loathe.

Unbelieveable!!!

He was in my congressional district campaigning for Tammy Duckworth when he made these remarks. Now what sort of person would choose/accept Limbaugh as a public supporter?

I'm going to e-mail her campaign right now.

Edited to add correction: Michael J. Fox was campaigning for Tammy Duckworth. Limbaugh was not.

Rush Limbaugh has actually topped himself. I guess he wasn't getting enough attention lately. Why would anybody make public accusations like this except to get attention? This is so sad to see him do this to Michael J. Fox. I can only imagine what the poor guy and his family are going through after hearing this.

People like Rush Limbaugh will get his in the end

Oh I know I heard about that this morning - I didn't think 'ol Rush could dig a deeper hole for himself.....I saw a bit about this on Good Morning America, and the idiot who Diane Sawyer was talking to (not sure who he was, missed that part) seemed to be actually defending Rush Limbaugh! For crying out loud!!

[critter crazy]

It is disgusting!! Now I know why I hate Limbaugh so much!!!! Michael J. Fox is one of my Hero's and it takes guts to do what he has been doing! I hate people Like Rush, is is juat appaling!!!

I saw that on the news at lunch-time, and it made me wonder how on earth someone like him could cope with Parkinson's. I didn't really know very much about Limbaugh before this, but I think now I know enough not to like him. What things people do for media attention.

I think that perhaps Michael J. Fox was perhaps shaking a little more than usual on that advert due to the fact he was concentrating hard on delivering the speech to the best of his ability, and I see no harm in that.

It was Michael J. Fox who was campaigning for Duckworth -- not Limbaugh!

And in case anyone believes Limbaugh "apologized"...here it is...

"All right then, I stand corrected. . . . So I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong, and I will apologize to Michael J. Fox, if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act."

"If I was wrong??????

[moosmom]

That still does not excuse his behavior.

[JenBKR]

Wow some apology....

[Barbara]

I don't think that anyone who knows about Parkinson and related diseases could believe someone would be able to fake this over the years. And certainly nobody would WANT to do that. There are much nicer ways to get attention.

BTW it is classical that there are phases in which the meds work better than in others (I believe they talk about being "on" and "off").

Let's hope that this Limbaugh guy (whom I don't know and whom I don't want to know) does not get one of the more fancy neurogenerative diseases that are likely to come up more often as we all become older.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Wow some apology....

Yes, like so many of his ilk....an apology is always couched in some self-serving way.

I do suppose he knows the effects of drugs better than most people! (meow.....)

Mr. Limbaugh has never been very good at seeing beyond the end of his own nose. If the illness isn't *his* illness, it must not be real, right?

That would be King Moron....Rush.

Limbaugh is a flaming, idiot, blowhard and always has been. His comments are unexcusable, and his halfhearted (or as he would say, fake,) apology are more of an insult than the original statement. At least you can sort of ignore the comment, but, it is in bad taste to ignore the apology.

I hope this drives him off the airwaves.
