LIMBAUGH GOES LOWER THAN ANYONE EVER THOUGHT HE COULD...

Okay, at this point we all know that Rush Limbaugh is a moronic, hypocritical douchebag. However he does have a listening audience of nearly 13.5 million, which is the largest (yes, the largest) radio audience in the United States, so therefore the words he spews must be taken somewhat seriously.

Which brings us to this political commercial that features Michael J. Fox supporting a Democratic candidate who's in favor of stem-cell research:

Pretty powerful stuff huh? To those of us who haven't seen Mr. Fox on television for a few years, it's a shock to see the progression that the Parkinson's Disease has taken. However, to Limbaugh, this is nothing more than a partisan attack by a Hollywood "liberal". In fact, Rush goes as far as to claim that Fox's "ticks and tremors" are somehow less than genuine.

This is an actual quote from Limbaugh:

"I stated when I saw the ad, I was commenting to you about it, that he was either off the medication or he was acting. He is an actor, after all."

So according to "Dr. Limbaugh", when a Parkinson's patient if "off his medication" he is ravaged with these physical ticks and tremors? Interesting theory. However, one persistent blogger actually contacted a REAL doctor, who had this to say about the diagnosis:

What you are seeing on the video is side effects of the medication. He has to take that medication to sit there and talk to you like that. ... He's not over-dramatizing. ... [Limbaugh] is revealing his ignorance of Parkinson's disease, because people with Parkinson's don't look like that at all when they're not taking their medication. They look stiff, and frozen, and don't move at all. ... People with Parkinson's, when they've had the disease for awhile, are in this bind, where if they don't take any medication, they can be stiff and hardly able to talk. And if they do take their medication, so they can talk, they get all of this movement, like what you see in the ad.

So it's actually the medication's side-effect that GIVES Parkinson's patients these extreme physical movements? And if Fox was "off his medication" like Rush claims, he'd actually be incapable of such speech or movement? Is this 180-degree turn from reality a prerequisite for admission into the Republican Party?

So, once again, Limbaugh proves that his head is squarely up his ass when it comes to discussing... just about anything that requires facts or reality. I don't know what is more sad, the fact that this guy gets paid to sit behind a microphone, or that 13.5 million people regularly tune in to listen.

THANKS AGAIN TO CROOKS AND LIARS
