Michael J. Fox and Rush Limbaugh
Everyone has probably seen the kerfluffle over Rush Limbaugh's criticism of Michael J. Fox and his ad for Missouri's Democratic candidate, namely that he was faking or not taking his drugs.

Well, Crooks and Liars has the video of his interview with George Stephanopoulos, and I gotta say, Limbaugh is a total asshole. The camera pulls back several times during the interview and the problem is obvious.

Fox is on his meds. His meds are the problem. During the video the symptom you see is Levodopa-induced dyskinesias, not Parkinsons (although he shows a little tremor when he raises his hands). A side-effect of long term use of Levodopa are just those exaggerated movements that make Fox practically have to sit on his hands to keep them under control.

Limbaugh is a real asshole for this one.
