Says he is "off his meds or acting" in the recent (pro-stem-cell-research) commercial he shot for Claire McCaskill. You can listen to part of it here.

Where do we call?
paula can't call till tomorrow so I emailed: rush@eibnet.com Mr. Limbaugh, The symptoms shown by Mike Fox on the Missouri ad are not from being off his med; they are side effects of his med. They are involuntary movements from levadopa. It is called Dyskinesia. You saw him when he could function. He may have been able to go off his meds years ago for the public but he couldn't now - off meds means just about frozen with intermittent violent tremors. This is called Bradykinesia. Both are devastating but off meds is far far worse. You need to retract your statement and apologize. 18 years with PD, Paula Wittekind Editor Grassroots Connnection FL state coordinator, Parkinson Action Network 321.631.7496 harrumph!

Thanks for this link. I'm madder than a hornet. Rush Limbaugh and his oxycontin doesn't know Parkinson's from a hole in the wall.
What a bunch of crap - comes right out and libels Fox!! Argh! MikeTTF Quote:

Thank you for posting this. Paula, your email is fantastic. I'm very upset about the dissemination of nonsense and ignorance. He has the largest radio audience, much larger than any of the other talkers.
I was wondering lately, during breast cancer awareness month, why we don't have a PD month to enlighten the public about the disease, and to push for funding. The Boomers are of age to get late onset PD, so I expect the numbers to rise more than ever. Perhaps Fox should explain more about his symptoms to the public, so they understand what's going on with him. Wow, this made my BP go up.

He opens his mouth and out tumble toads and slime and slippry worms.
Thank you Paula, for the email address. I enjoyed telling him to: "Eat your sanctimonious outrage and apologize to M.J. Fox, a brave man, a good man, a far better man than you." But Rush doesn't know from shame......... birte |

get out more. Apart from being the wayward son of Mr and Mrs Lymbaugh, who is Rush Lymbuagh? and does it matter?
If he is a famous talk host, his controversial remarks on Fox is only garnishing more publicity and will only drive people to view the compelling video of MJ doing his head movement exercises, and promotong the Democrats. Controversy sells, so if Lymbaugh has a vast radio audience of Americans then that is a huge target audience that may not have been aware of MJ Fox's predicament, but are now. Thank's Rush. GO HARD SCIENCE |

the trouble is, Howard, that Rush's faithful audience believes faithfully that Rush is right, and his audience is large.
birte I'd go to New Zealand just to hear the magpies sing in the morning. I hope you appreciate them - I never before heard birds sing like that - heavenly. |
