Michael J. Fox and stem cell research
NOT Malkin or Limbaugh, that's for sure....

Rush Apologizes to Michael J Fox, Sort of
Radio entertainer Rush Limbaugh, who's shameless accusations about Michael J. Fox FAKING the effects of his Parkinson's Disease, raised enough ire that he, Rush, felt obliged to apologize. Whatever. Bottomline, Rush is a HATER, and Rush himself proves he's willing to be "used" by the righties once again.
Wa Po..."This is the only time I've ever seen Michael J. Fox portray any of the symptoms of the disease he has," Limbaugh said. "He can barely control himself." Later Monday, still on the air, Limbaugh would apologize, but reaction to his statements from Parkinson's experts and Fox's supporters was swift and angry....
Limbaugh's shock at Fox's appearance is a measure of the disease's devastation, advocates say. Contrary to the charge that Fox might not take his medicine to enhance his symptoms, the medicine produces some of the uncontrolled body movements. "Stem cell research offers hope to millions of Americans with diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's," Fox says in the Cardin ad. "But George Bush and Michael Steele would put limits on the most promising stem cell research."
