Michael J Fox

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.

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??????

That still does not excuse his behavior.

Wow some apology....

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.

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?

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.
