As I'm sure many of you have heard (if you haven't hang out for a second, I'll get there.) Micheal J Fox has recently done a political ad showing his support for Missouri Senate candidate Claire McCaskill. In the ad he is seen shaking, some would say violently, as a result of Parkinsons.
Shortly after the ad aired, Rush Limbaugh said that Fox was exaggerating his symptoms, and that he didn't take his medication so that in the ad his symptoms would seem worse. After many complaints he apologized and then said that Fox was using his disease to help the Democrats (Limbaugh's a class act, he is.)
Well Fox recently was interviewed with Katie Couric on her show, and I just wanted to post the video. I don't want to turn this thread into a Limbaugh bashfest, or a Dem v. Repub fight. I just wanted to post the interview because it was so damn moving. Maybe, also, it's because I'm a big Micheal J. Fox fan, but I just wanted to make sure others in the world know about this terrible disease.
WARNING: THESE ARE VERY HARD TO WATCH.
Here's the original Ad:

Here's a segment from NBC about Limbaughs response. It's the best one I could find, sorry:
