Last paragraph:

A source with direct knowledge of Fox's illness who viewed the Cardin ad said Fox is not acting to exaggerate the effects of the disease. The source said Fox's scenes in "Boston Legal" had to be taped around his illness, as he worked to control the tremors associated with Parkinson's for limited periods of time.

So why didn't they do the same thing for this commercial?

Oh, because they wanted to demonstrate the effects of the disease.... wait a minute! That's just what Rush said!

I find it really hard to believe that a Hollywood tv show would "tape around his illness," don't you? Hollywood is one cold little merciless town and money is the bottom line. Strange story getting stranger!

I didn't bother to click through on this article, as I don't even bother with MSNBC, however, if you've been listening to Rush's sbow the past two days, he points out that Michael J. Fox in his own autobiography writes that he doesn't take his medications prior to hearings in the Senate, in order to illustrate the ravages of the disease.

I don't understand why the press is so upset about what Fox has already admitted doing in his own book.

And that includes you Gretchen Carlson and ManCow. I HATE it when people comment on what they are not informed about.
