Rush Limbaugh manages to put his foot [I will keep this clean] in his mouth once again!
There isn't much for me to write. And notice that it really doesn't matter whether you are in favor of or against embryonic stem cell research ... or believe that the Bill on the ballot in Missouri actually legalizes "human cloning" with wording that was deliberately misleading.
It's what Rush Limbaugh (above left) had to say about Michael J. Fox (upper right) who was a spokesman for the bill in a television ad. Most of you know that Michael J. Fox suffers from an advanced stage of Parkinson's disease.
What did Rush have to say? Read on ... Rush Limbaugh (quote): "He [Michael J. Fox in the ad] is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medications or he's acting."
[As it turns out, failure to take the medication causes stiffness and a form of paralysis ... and not shaking, which was prominent in the ad's videotape.]
His mention of Fox's "not taking his meds" reminds us all of Rush Limbaugh's own illegal "pill popping" that got him in serious problems with the authorities a couple of years ago (OxyContin) and that he was again caught illegally carrying unprescribed "medications" (Viagara) while returning from the Dominican Republic, known for its "sex trade" -- particularly among gays. Although he announced on his radio program that he was addicted to pain pills vis-a-vis the first several incidents, he has never explained the clandestine Dominican Republic trip or the need for a bottle of Viagara.
He professes Christian values on his radio program and is generally thought of as a part of the Evangelical right-wing of the Republican Party.
[To Bush's credit, Limbaugh was not included among the other right-wing guests at the White House media event earlier this week.]
