"A RW Talk show Host Mocks a Disabled Man"
Says John King of CNN (filling in for Anderson Cooper tonight)

"Rush Limbaugh questions whether Michael J. Fox is exaggerating his Parkinson's symptoms.
His disease has gotten worse over the years.
We'll let you decide who's really sick." (goes to commercial)

I know this whole sick thing has been discussed here, but I just love the way John King phrased this.

1. Larry King let one of his RW guests have it tonight.
Neal Boortz disagreed with Limpballs, but the other nut took Limpy's side, saying he would have phrased
it like, "he's had the disease on Boston Public and seems to work around it. Why does he look so
afflicted here?" Larry jumped on the guy, saying that he (Larry) has guested on Boston Public and that "Michael
has a severe case of Parkinsons, and they must do many, many takes of his scenes and edit like crazy, edit, edit,
to get his scenes to look unafflicted. And don't forget, those scenes were taped like a year ago and this commerical
was done recently."

Good on Larry... for once.

I want to have John King's baby tonight, can't say the same for Larry though. :P

I don't understand why big mouthed steaming loads like Limbaugh can't go down like Morton Downey, Jr. types did back in the day.

2. I watched Rush Limbaugh
and couldn't help but think that there are five year olds who know that you don't make fun of people and their disabilities. I think Rush should go back to kindergarten and learn that people aren't for hurting.

In all actuality, he could go back to kindergarten and be one of the slower kids in the class. He can spell and read I suppose, but how many things does one learn in kindergarten of which he does not know.

He is like Scrooge. When he dies the only people who come to his funeral are those who want to be fed. There must be food!

4. I'd go to the funeral
just to poke him with a fork to make sure he wasn't faking it.

7. Scrooge. Did you say Scrooge?

"George Bailey, I'll give your account holders 50 cents on the dollar."

6. How dare he!!!!
Especially, when Limbaugh was getting sympathy for his hearing loss before it was learned it was from his addiction to a pain reliever (and then his listeners feel sorry for his 'adiction'). hasn't been put in jail!!!!
The hypocrisy is AMAZING!

:wow:
