Is there anything that Rush said about Fox that you thought was wrong? Not "cheap shot" - I'm asking what he said that was wrong? Sounds like he was spot on right - that Fox was manipulating his condition to look extra sympathetic, and Limbaugh called him on it. Fox even admitted to this tactic in his book.
Were you aware of all that? And if so, do you still think it was wrong for Rush to say?

Until Conservatives truly start fighting back and calling a spade a spade the dems will continue to beat us up in the public arena.. Rush was exactly right to say what he said. I'd love to hear Ann Coulter's take on this.

I voted in the poll...I think Rush didn't say anything that Mr Fox hasn't admitted to...

No I wasn't aware of the fact Fox was "faking it" and to be honest I'm not a stem cell research supporter.That being said I don't agree with Limbaugh on this one and as I said in the first posting sometimes I think he opens his mouth and inserts his foot !!!

I am aware that Fox has said he manipulated his meds when he testified at congressional hearings in the past. I am unaware of any such statement regarding this instance. The "choreiform" movements Fox exhibited during the commercial are typical of the side effects of taking the anti-Parkinsonism drugs for many years. If an advanced patient doesn't take his meds, he "freezes up" and can scarcely move. It is extremely difficult to talk when in this condition. But the side effect of the medicine, after many years, is to cause the sort of uncontrollable motions you see in the commercial. Again, this is the effect of taking his meds. Parkinson's is an ugly condition when it's advanced, and Rush definitely took a cheap shot here.
