MADISON, Wis. -- One last celebrity plug, several pep rallies, and even more meet-and-greets marked the final day of Wisconsin campaigning Monday.
Gov. Jim Doyle, who is seeking to become the first Democrat re-elected governor in 32 years, welcomed actor Michael J. Fox to a rally in Milwaukee.
Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, spoke about the governor's support for embryonic stem cell research. Fox, who had to occasionally brace himself as he twitched, referenced remarks conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh made two weeks ago accusing Fox of not taking his medication before cutting ads for Doyle.
''I recently had a run-in with a not-so-compassionate conservative,'' Fox said. ''He thinks I should wait until my symptoms go away before talking to you.''
If they actually believed that this research was perfectly moral, wouldn't they be creating their own embryos to donate?
I'm afraid that I have lost all respect and sympathy that I once had for MJF.
and he twitched off into the sunset. (sorry, couldn't resist)

What a liar.
How sad.
Dance, you little bastard!
Yet, ironically in the People's Republic of Madison, Rush's AM home WIBA-AM continues to top the ratings for all commercial radio stations.
If the rich family in Missouri that paid for the Prop had used their money for research, we might have a cure by now....
I wish he'd make like a tree, and get out of here.
Oh, wait...
Because it is a wedge issue. It is being shamelessly exploited by the Democrats, who promise Pie-In-The-Sky cures in exchange for votes.
I do not understand why the Republicans don't take this issue to the Democrats, and hard. They have behaved disgracefully.
If they want to discuss Abortion, we can do that all day long. But instead, they run their stealth campaigns and hide behind children and cripples. They build up hope in the most vulnerable members of our society, and don't give a damn whether or not that hope is ever fulfilled. They are beneath contempt.
Fox is intolerant of the deaf!
Typical Hollywood Jackazz. If you admit messing with your meds to exaggerate the effects of your illness, don't get offended when someone suggests you might have done it again.
and he twitched off into the sunset. (sorry, couldn't resist)
LOL!
I am overdone on Fox's self-pity.
He could have waited to film that TV commercial till his symptoms subsided, even assuming he didn't manipulate his meds to make his symptoms worse than they are in everyday life when he filmed it.
What gagged me was that final sentence about "people like me" when he looked straight into the camera (remember, this man is an accomplished actor) and fixed his mouth with a pathetic grimace, like he was about to cry.
Oh puleeze! How many other people in the spotlight, actors or not, have had devastating diseases, debilitating illnesses, and haven't milked them for political purposes?
Sorry MIchael. . .my once high esteem for you is sinking faster than the Titanic. . .STOP. . .beginning to think the only thing worse than a Liberal; is a sick one.

Because silly, it's a lot more fun to spend your money.
