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.

Rush definitely took a cheap shot here.

It was a cheap shot to use a pathetic sick man to make false claim in a political race, and then expect that there can be no criticism of that person.

And besides, if not taking meds makes a parkinson's patient "freeze up", then why did Fox admit to doing such when he testified to Congress?
