In other words, he did exactly what Mr. Limbaugh is being pilloried for accusing him of.
I didn't hear anything about any of this, I'm just reading this thread. I'm not flaming you at all, but, from what I'm understanding, Mr. Limbaugh is accusing Mr. Fox of faking the disease, right? Please, correct me if I'm wrong, because again, I didn't hear anything about it. But, Mr. Fox wasn't faking the disease during the Congressional hearing, he simply didn't take his medication so that Congress would see what the disease can and does do to people. In a way, he was doing it to get "attention", I looked at it more like he was "bringing attention" to something not many know too much about... but, not "faking." Again, I could be completely misunderstanding all this.
