"A promising new experimental brain procedure. Known as a thalamotomy, this procedure destroys the part of the thalamus involved in movement control. In 1996, Fox underwent the operation, and it helped relieve the worst of the tremors."
" Last March Fox underwent a thalamotomy -- brain surgery aimed at managing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Since then, the worst of his tremors have been eliminated and he takes the drug Sinemet to control the milder tremors, he said."
Wow. Great catch. Send this to Rush.
NBC News did their expected hit piece on Rush tonight- showed video of the evil, heartless Rush demonstrating how Fox was whipsawing from side to side in the ad .
Mitchell ( of course ) never explained that Rush was contrasting Fox's wild , wild, wild whole body tremors in the ad with calm , tremor free guest appearances on Boston Legal.
Fox's admitted purposeful discontinuation of all medication prior to stem cell and Parkinson's testimony in front of Congress was also not mentioned-naturally.
Then Andrea Mitchell interviewed Fox and his tremors were under control and barely noticeable-thus making Rush's point.
If a diabetic celebrity purposefully stopped their insulin and went into diabetic coma for a Republican ad and then the family blamed Democrats for their loved one's disease- the hew and cry from the media would be immeasurable.
