Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot acting like a very, very bad person again:

Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, appears in a TV ad for a Senate candidate who supports stem-cell research, and the severe shaking and stiffness associated with the disease are evident in his movements. But conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has accused the actor of exaggerating his symptoms for the camera.

Commenting on Fox's commercial for Missouri Senate challenger Claire McCaskill, Limbaugh said on his syndicated radio program Tuesday, "He is moving around and shaking, and it is purely an act."

Limbaugh later said on the show, "If this was not an act, then I apologize." He also went on to say, however, that Fox is allowing his illness to be exploited. 

Yes, utterly shameful of Fox to use his illness to campaign for people who want to help cure him.   For the record, Limbaugh also has big problems with AIDS victims campaigning for debt relief, working stiffs campaigning for minimum wage increases, and legless veterans campaigning for a sensible Iraq plan.

Fact is, Limbaugh is wrong on stem cell research.  Tragically wrong.  And in a country where the VAST majority of citizens want such research to move forward, we are six years further away from progress and six years further behind the rest of the global scientific community.  And he knows it.  So what can he do to salvage this tragedy of his own making?  Why, pick on the handicapped, of course!
