rush limbaugh on michael j fox....

lol

That's not my recollection. How can he being OVERmedicated cause more of the symptoms of his disease to appear? The only thing MJF has admitted to is that he DID NOT take his medication before testifying a few years back in order so that the people he was asking for MONEY (nothing to do with election politics) would see the real affects of his disease.

As you already succinctly stated, he was OVERmedicated in his campaign spots. That does not cause OVERstimulation of his symptoms.

Let's not even mention your shameless attribution of partisan shill to a good man. How is it that one can be a partisan shill when he supports members of both parties as long as they support the one cause he cares about? There a new definition of partisan in Webster's I'm unaware of?

Fox is a good guy who believes passionately in a cause that affects him and many others. Shame on you and dildos like Rush Limbaugh for trying to belittle him in the name of partisan politics and then having the gall to accuse him of that same offense.

KC: When you go from side to side… and that’s actually caused by the medication?

MF: That’s caused by the medication. What happens is when you I'm 15 years out from diagnosis, one of the problems with medication, one of the reasons they are looking for cures particularly for Parkinson’s is that the medication only has an efficacy that lasts so long and then at a certain point it ceases to, or it works with horrible side effects, which is the dyskinesia that you see. But on any given day, I can’t design where I'm going to be at any given time. You just take the medication and hope for the best. If it’s humid that day, if you get stressed that day, if you eat the wrong thing, if you have too much protein, it doesn't kick in. It’s just part of living with this. It’s funny the notion that you could calculate it for effect. People with Parkinson’s out there, we're just kind of go...would that we could.

KC: In fact, Rush Limbaugh suggested you had failed to take your medication intentionally so when you did that ad you’d be more symptomatic and therefore, more sympathetic.

MF: The irony of it is, I was too medicated …The thing about being symptomatic is it’s not comfortable. Nobody wants to be symptomatic. It’s like you want to hit yourself with a hammer, you know, you want at all times to be as comfortable as you can be. And at this point now, if I didn’t take medication I wouldn't be able to speak. I’d have a mask face and I wouldn’t be able to speak and I'd lock up and freeze and not be able to move. So there's no time I'm not medicated. It’s just a matter of titrating the medication to make sure it works as best it can. It’s constant throughout the day.. I’m saying, well, I'm going to do something at 2 o'clock so from about ten o’clock on it’s all towards getting to where I need to be at 2. It’s the kind of stuff that people with Parkinson’s live with everyday.

You've met?

Yes, I have met him and Zell Miller on different occasions. He toured Naval Sub Base Kings Bay when it had just opened on numerous occasions. They'd fly into Cecil and Jax and then take ground transport up.

Wonderful. So explain how he was 'faking' in order to be a partisan shill as you and Bumrush have accused?

I didn't say he was faking it, Rush did. Don't put words into my mouth. I said the swaying was caused by his over-medication, as MJ Fox said. I also stated he didn't even read the Amendment proposed to the Missouri Constitution, as he stated in his meeting with Stephanopolous on ABC this week. Or do you want me to dig that transcript up to0? (I already have in another thread a week older on this same topic).

Who gives a shit if he's read the amendment. How does your quote from him make him a partisan shill? Or do I have to dig up the dictionary definition of partisan?

He endorsed Claire McCaskill on the basis of a stem-cell amendment he hasn't even read.
