Is there any reason for Rush Limbaugh?
serious crayons:

True. "Making fun" is not the right phrase, as that would imply there was humor involved. He's not being funny. (And I changed my post above, in which I originally used the phrase too, accordingly.)
I guess what Rush Limbaugh actually did was accuse Michael J. Fox of lying about his own progressing and degenerative disease. After listeners reported to him that Fox's symptoms are genuine, Limbaugh apologized for the original accusation and substituted a new one, accusing Fox of exploiting his own disease as a political strategy to mislead voters.

Whats really shamful is the dems using Fox to get a cloneing bill passed, attemting to protray rebs as uncampassionate, Elect a canadate that voted againt stem cell research. The irony is that no one in the medical community can prove actual progress in stem cell.

Thought I post this here since it's related.
Anderson Cooper interviewed Michael J. Fox on stem cell research in general, and the controversial over Fox's campaign ad. It’s a very well done interview (ok I am biased since I am a fan of Anderson) about 20 minutes long and definitely worthy watching. If you missed the 360 show, you can view the video here. http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/anderson.cooper.360/blog/2006/11/michael-j-fox-talks-to-anderson.html
I have learned more information on stem cell research, and have a renewed admiration for Michael J. Fox from the interview. It takes great courage to live with the stigma of the disease and still put himself out there for the things he believes in, knowing that he will be judged, questioned, and sometimes laughed at. He was very humble, and very respectful when asked about some people’s opposition on embryonic stem cell research.
