Rush Limbaugh Is a Bigger and Fatter Truth Teller
It seems Michael J. Fox’s exaggerated movements in that campaign ad Rush Limbaugh is so appalled by were not the result of his overacting or his purposefully not medicating himself, but the side effects of the medication Fox uses to treat his disease.
University of Chicago neurologist Dr. Thomas Kelly says Limbaugh doesn’t have his facts straight. Fox’s disease has progressed where he no longer only gets tremors, which can be controlled with medication, but has more erratic movements which are caused directly by his medicine.
“Chaotic, maybe writhing, dance-like movements, or dyskinesia, the movements I’ve seen in Mr. Fox, are due to his medications,” said Dr. Kelly.
However, I’m sure Limbaugh sees right through this clever tactic of Fox’s. Clearly, Fox took his medication because he knew the side effects would play well for the camera. Certainly not because he, like, needs it to sustain his way of life, you know, as much as he can while living with, um, such a horribly debilitating illness. No way! I mean, you never saw Rush Limbaugh take his illegally prescribed pills because he thought it would play well on the radio. No, he took them because he was an addict! God bless you, Rush!
